For me, it’s Jude the Obscure. That book is easily the worst book I have ever read, without a single redeeming quality, other than that it finally ends. I only finished it because Far from the Madding Crowd was so damn good.
But really, Jude is the gold standard of awful books, in my opinion.
What’s your so-awful-it-deserves-shelf-space book, if you have one?
Or am I just weird?
I’m sorry, I’m really really so sorry, but Verity by Colleen Hoover. My coworker recommended it to me and I liked it for a bit but then it ended and there’s no resolution, and there were some parts I felt were so stupid I had to put it down and stop reading. And 90% of it they’re just having sex. It was garbage. But you know what? I’d read it again lmao
