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.

    Probably a book that had a very weird incipit, it went something like “Gaga was a small polar bear and when she was born she was such a scaredy-cat, that she immediately hid, her butthole opening to the moon entering her innards”. Or something similar, don’t remember exactly. That gave me such nasty furry vibes I backpedaled so hard out of the bookshop lol.
