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.
Where the Crawdads Sing.
I know some people rave about it. I got about 50 pages in. Maybe it’s was all the stuff about the author coming out. Maybe I’m just naive and sheltered, but I just found it hard to get over the fact that an entire family left a 6 year old girl to fend for herself with like no explanation.
I understand why people like it, but it just didn’t do it for me.
Not just the family, but the entire town! I forced myself to finish it. You missed nothing.
