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 didn’t put it down because I promised a friend I’d read it (she loved it and wanted to discuss it) but it had a couple of good ideas which the author singularly failed to capitalize on. All the characters were boring and flat and I didn’t care what happened to them or understand how this system could even be supported practically.
