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.
I read the opening line to some book and it said, “shooting people is so boring.”
As though we are to believe that our main character is so badass that even at the moment of killing someone, they are actively feeling intense boredom. So cringe.
