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 wholeheartedly agree. I read such a heavy book that made me bawl on the bus before finally caving to my friends and starting ACOTAR. It has been an easy palate cleanser and the following two books are so much better.
