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 have been DNFing books more often now. I couldn’t get through “A Long Road to Mercy”. I really enjoyed the Memory Man series, so I thought I would like this one. Every other page reminded us too often of how strong she was, how she almost made the Olympics…etc. Then the plot didn’t move it jumped forward with really no rhyme or reason.
