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.
When I was about 14, my mom (a non-reader at the time), bought me an L Ron Hubbard book. I think Dianetics lol.
I had the sense even then to not read it. But my mom and I were discussing this recently and I asked her point blank, “what were you thinking??” And she replied that she had no idea what it was. That she had seen a lot of people rave about it and say that it helped them so she hoped I would like it.
Her heart was in the right place 🤣
