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 read it when I was like 3 weeks postpartum with my first child. Not a smart choice.

      During pregnancy I could not get this book out of my head, despite having read it more than a decade earlier. Not good. Hope it didn’t sully your postpartum experience!
