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.
Sounds very like another of her books, The Paris Apartment. Every character was so unlikeable and every plot point seemed so daft, I got about a third in and quit because I realised I could not care less what happened to any of the pricks in it
The MC of Paris Apartment was so fiercely unlikable. I actively rooted against her :D
The ending was so ridiculous. If you ever wanna laugh hysterically at absurd writing, finish it 😂
I had it on audiobook and bumped it up to like 3.5x speed and I still couldn’t stick any of them hahah
