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 put down The Hunger Games after three pages. The style was just so minimalist, bleak and a constant…stopper. It didn’t read fluently at all, I felt every sentence wasn’t more than a fact, a statement, completely devoid of emotions or description.
