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’m currently reading the Mayfair Witches and so I am not even a little bit surprised by this. There’s lots of rape and incest and even a dash of necrophilia. I’ve given up on it twice, the first time thinking I will give it one more shot and the second time someone else telling me it has a really satisfying conclusion in Taltos so to keep reading. So I’m on my third attempt and if I put it down again I’m not picking it back up.
