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.

    “Pageboy” by Elliot Page. Got to page 60-something before I put it down and left it at the coffeehouse I was reading it in. One of the worst memoirs I’ve ever read, poorly written and lacked coherence and direction.
