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.

    Chapter 3 of The Cruel Prince. I’m at that age where I can’t read teenage protagonists anymore I guess! Also she’s was too…I don’t know how to describe it. Definitely didn’t click for me.

    And Chapter 2 of Tomorrow, And Tomorrow, And Tomorrow. I’m sure it’s fine but I started reading it at an awkward time for me and had to find a list of trigger warnings in a Goodreads review of all places. A lot of the stuff was definitely not what I wanted on my mental plate at the time so back to the library it went!
