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 skimming about halfway through and then just gave up. Looked online to see how it ended and it was so convoluted I’m glad I didn’t spend time slogging to the end.
No disrespect to anyone who read and liked the book—I just think life is too short and reading is too pleasurable to read books that aren’t doing it for you.
