Earrings of Ixtumea by Kim Baccellia. Marketed as a racy YA romance with a Native American touch. Actually a dismal mishmash of recycled tropes, cardboard stereotypes, and a plot that could have been written by some dumb algorithm. I don’t think even young readers would be impressed.
I, Robot. They literally stole the book’s title and used it for a totally unrelated story.
