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 borrowed Wreck the Halls from the library based solely on the cover art – it looked like a hallmark Christmas movie in book form, which is what I need right now. Two pages in, I discovered that the two main characters are the offspring of famous musicians, and their names are Melody and Beat. Vom. Immediately returned it.
