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.
Came here to say this. Still mad I bought that book. I don’t understand the love.
Unrelated, but I just finished the Silent Patient. That was ass too.
I think they appeal to some folks, but not all. I really enjoy them, but there are parts where I go “eh, bit far” when Dresden’s gaze is a bit too male.
