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.

    Recovery from narcissistic abuse, gaslighting, codependency & CPTSD. It wrecked me knowing that 90% of my mental illnesses come from my dead narc mom.

      Have you read “I’m Glad My Mom Died” by Jeanette McCurdy? I was struggling in a similar way and it made me feel less alone. She also narrates the audiobook really well!
