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 don’t know if this counts, but a friend of mine was trying to get me to read her roommate’s self-published book. The description printed on the back of the book had glaring grammar mistakes. I didn’t keep reading. It was awkward trying to explain why I wasn’t interested.
