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 :)

    Gerald’s Game. When she has to slit her wrists to escape the handcuffs and we get the longest and most descriptive passages of gore, I almost couldn’t finish the book. A shiver goes down my spine every time I think of it. Since then, bondage has left my bedroom.
