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.
About three pages into Black Mad Wheel. I can’t remember exactly what it was and I don’t have the book anymore to go back and confirm but there were multiple instances where the writing was bad. Straight up bad.
I decided life is too short to read something that I immediately find poorly written and off putting.
