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.
Under the Tuscan Sun and Stones From the River. Both were book club selections by others in our group years ago. I only lasted a chapter or two of each. I just couldn’t get into either of them. These were the first two books I ever DNF’d. Up until then, I always finished any book I started, whether I liked it or not. Someone before this had picked Fool’s Crow, which I forced myself to slog through, and that was the book that made me vow to never slog again.
