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.

    A few pages into Nevernight.

    The weird narration style and the back forth between POV’s from paragraph to paragraph was insufferable. Also the very graphic, tasteless sex scene at the beginning was a big no for me.
