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.
Anne Rice - Interview with a Vampire & Cormac McCarthy - The Road. The former was a gamble as I do not care for vampires, but I hated the dialogue as well. The latter was for school and is the only book I used spark notes for. Ironically, I had points taken off my assignment for not using punctuation correctly…
Both were about 10 pages in.
+1 to mccarthy, his style is terrible.
