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.

    You have to get pretty deep in the book for the answer >!he didn’t want to go on the suicide mission but he was the best choice. They forced him into the rocket and gave him a drug that would cause amnesia when he awoke so he would focus on learning why he was there and what he had to do.!< but that’s a good criticism that says that for you the author left too many unanswered questions.

      I genuinely wish I enjoyed it like with the Martian. I figured there was much more to it, but I honestly couldn’t keep going. If they made a movie, I’d watch!
