The Symmetry of Stars by Alex Myers. The cover drew me in and the plot lost me. The writing felt very clunky and wordy and I found it hard to understand, and I don’t understand the audience. It has random swears so not for younger kids, the writing is oddly archaic so not for slightly older kids, and it’s too juvenile for adults.
It’s also the only book I’ve read so far that has strong ‘man writing women’ problem a character stating that she could “feel her eggs glistening”

I so wished we got to do something more difficult, but I had classmates who didn’t understand Hunger Games at all so something more advanced would have been too much for them.
Not sure if this counts but Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk.
One of the characters compares television to God. Basically saying that when you flick through all the channels and see all of the peoples lives (Real or otherwise) you’re like God watching over everyone.
Re-Watching the same scene or re-reading the same passage is the WORST. We had to do it for Hunger Games when >!Rue died!< And it was infuriating.
I definitely was not being challenged lol.
Animal farm. I read the entire book in a little over 2 hours. It was good.
