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.
So even if I don’t like a book, I’ll always plow on. I’m the same with tv series or anything else, I just have to finish it. The only time I can remember not finishing a book, I was maybe 13/14. I don’t remember the title but the cover had a photo of somewhere in the US (I think) The reason I couldn’t do it was because every sentence was a short sentence. It was just felt really awkward to read. Just short sentence after short sentence. Pause. Pause. Pause. Urgh.
