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 started the first Jack Reacher novel and gave up as soon as he jumped in bed with the female cop like 2 minutes after they met. This was after he had been accused of a crime and she knew nothing about him at all aside from that. I’m in no way a prude but it just came across as such a big WTF that I just put the book down.
