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.
Foucault’s Pendulum by Umberto Eco. Reading the description of the Musée des arts et métiers in the first chapter, I wanted to visit it first before finishing the book :)
I gave up early on that book too. I wanted to like it but didn’t have the patience.
