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 :)

    In the same vein: The New Me by Halle Butler. It’s about a 30 year old woman trying to find stable work while struggling with depression. She keeps making attempts at personal transformation to turn things around but always just falls short. Nothing TERRIBLE happens, couldn’t put a content warning on it, but god, it fucked with me.
