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.
Oh absolutely. My brother got a graphic novel of The Hobbit that I loved so I tried to give the book a go and just could not do it. I love trees but I don’t need a 3 page description of one. I found that I was skipping over large sections of the text avoiding the painfully detailed bits that were entirely unnecessary and decided it just wasn’t for me.
