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 let the jungle-thing slide. It’s a direct quote so my problems with it was mistaking genus for species, misspelling “species” and being wrong about the distribution.

    I just couldn’t look past all that.

      Oh, I assumed “specis” was a typo on your end. That’s a pretty bad typo to have in the second sentence of a published work.
