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.

    “The Cheerleaders” by Kara Thomas I didn’t get far at all when there were text message pics I stopped reading and just I couldn’t. I’m not saying it’s bad just definitely not the kind of book I like. I like fantasy, historical fiction, dystopian type stuff not really modern stories. Also I think its popular on TikTok which isn’t bad necessarily but from what I’ve seen TikTok popular books I usually don’t enjoy maybe its because they’re too modern and I don’t enjoy modern books because its just too relevant I want a book that transports me elsewhere to a place completely different from my own.

    Also there was wayyyy too many characters all up front I was getting so confused on who was who. Seriously like 20 different names going on right away.
