The Silent Patient - the twist was visible from a mile away and the writing and the ML were boring.

Hidden Pictures - even the author knew it sucked and try to compensate for it by having the recovering drug addict main character ‘attempt’ to have written the story in the style of the overly and obnoxiously adored jk rowling… I will never never understand why people where going so crazy for this book. It’s so poorly written and so full of casual racism, misogyny and endless nonsense. I hated absolutely everything about it.

I read One Hundred Years of Solitude for the first time over thirty years ago. I’ve never forgotten the first line of that book. To date, it’s still the most beautiful story I’ve ever read.
