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 Twilight first came out, I was in highschool and reading 1-3 books a month (I was a snob, though, just to keep it fair). I was also neck deep in reading and writing fanfiction on ff.net 😭

    I borrowed a copy of the first Twilight book, read two pages, and gave it back

    I tried again when I was around 25-ish, still didn’t like it

    But hell, the movies are fun hot trash, it’s like the equivalent of eating junk food for your brain but for some reason, I can’t commit in written form lol
