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.
I made it a chapter into It Happened One Summer before I had to set it down, I found the main character absolutely insufferable… and now every time I see Tessa Bailey books at the store, I’m just like… how. it’s not good writing.
