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 DNF books liberally. Too many books and too little time, life is too short to read books I don’t like. Usually if a book doesn’t grab me within 20, sometimes 50 pages, then it’s not going to, and I have tolerance for slow starts.
