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.
Was it Iris by William Barton and Michael Capobianco? That’s what I was going to post here anyway.
The concept seemed so cool where a crew of settlers stumble on an ancient alien ship, but then started off with a BDSM/assault scene. Quit that book on page 1. Read a few reviews to see if I could just skip that part, but apparently the whole book is derailed by more like it.
