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.

    The start is a bit slow but it’s actually a really beautiful book, I’d recommend giving it another go.

      Seconding this. I read 180 books last year and this one was my favorite. I also might not have taste, but I loved the period/setting and the reason WHY she had 7 husbands. ❤️
