What book have you read that wasn’t subjectively “bad” but you regrets reading all the same?

For me, Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter. The book was engaging and it kept me on my toes, but I just with I hadn’t “poisoned my head” with all the graphic gore that was in there. I years later i still think about this and how I really wish I had never read it.

Question inspired by a comment /u/PrincessOfWales made in another thread :)

    I’ve read some books I’ve really enjoyed until the author flubs the landing. I’ve read all three Amor Towles books and it happens every time. The overall story is great and the writing is solid but I feel let down by the ending each time.
