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.

    LoTR; I made it to the part where they get to a cave in the mountains, twice, and put it down both times. I just found it so boring!

    The Woman in White; after Walter Hartwright’s narrative ends. I’ve tried numerous times… this book has haunted me since I was 15 (I’m now 47!) One day I will make myself finish it… hopefully 🤣
