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 was at a bookstore the other day looking for my next book in The Vampire Chronicles, and I asked the worker if they had more Anne Rice that wasn’t in the horror section and he said “no, but have you read the books she wrote under a pseudonym about Sleeping Beauty? They’re weird. REALLY weird.” - he looked horrified lol

    anyway, I’m loving TVC but have zero interest in checking out her Sleeping Beauty venture…
