You wanted to read the book, you were excited to crack it open, you came into it with good faith and anticipation… but you ended up dnf-ing it. Which book and why?

Mine was The Maid by Nita Prose. It was for my book club and looked like a fun murder mystery. Instead I got instant manic-pixie-dream-neurodivergent-girl vibes, and I noped out before the crime scene was even found.

    Maybe 1.5 pages of Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe.

    For some reason I could not stand the narrator’s (Aristotle’s?) voice so much that I didn’t even want to give it another word or even another chance.

      I unfortunately read the whole thing on vacation and it didn’t get better. I still get annoyed seeing how much people rave over it when I disliked it so strongly lol.
