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 think it was a few pages in. i have two that i dnf’d super quick, i think one was called hangman (a thriller) and the other was if you tell by gregg olsen. the first one i couldn’t get past the immature nicknames of a 40 year old detective, he also got real grossed out by shit and called it poop or something a 12 year old would say and that really annoyed me. gregg olsen i practically dnf’d after the third sentence. that is one book i physically hate, just so much hatred!! it was just god awful and honestly if it wasn’t a library book i would have ripped it into a million pieces. that guy should never write a single thing ever
