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.

    The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

    There was so much hype, a movie, etc… so I cracked it open and dove in… then it was just a “men writing women” manic pixie dream girl rape-fetish piece.

    Gross.
