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.
Firestarter by Stephen King. Not much of a Stephen King fan, and something about the way an Asian person was described within the first few pages of the book convinced me Firestarter was going to be a highlight reel of everything I already didn’t enjoy in the few books of his I’d managed to finish up until that point.
