The Valley of Amazement by Amy Tan. I finished it but it just was disappointing to me. Felt like she crammed as much fantastical tragedy as she could into the books with characters that were unlikeable and made really stupid choices. I picked it up for the historical aspect but there was little to none of it woven into the actual plot.

I bought Tattooist of Auschwitz because of all the good reviews and regretted it SO MUCH. It’s tragedy porn, written by someone who is just not talented. It read almost like a fan fiction of the Holocaust. One of the few books I immediately gave away after reading.
