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 :)

    The light years (the first book it the cazalet series). I actually thought the book was OK, but then I bought the others (for the sake of two characters i liked) and not only was that quite costly (i did only buy one at a time though) but the books got less interesting as I went on (far too many characters and stories) but I couldn’t abandon the series halfway through so I had to buy and read the rest of them and it just became a chore to finish them. Also everyone warned the rest of the Internet not to read the last book if you liked two of the characters but I had to read it to finish the series…major regret.
