You wanted to read the book, you were excited to crack it open, you came into it with good faith and anticipation… but you ended up dnf-ing it. Which book and why?
Mine was The Maid by Nita Prose. It was for my book club and looked like a fun murder mystery. Instead I got instant manic-pixie-dream-neurodivergent-girl vibes, and I noped out before the crime scene was even found.
It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover. One page.
I put it on hold at the library when I was still seeing it recommended highly. By the time it finally came through, I’d been seeing a lot more critiques. But I still wanted to try it because I’d waited so long. And then the vibe on the very first page completely turned me off. I could tell I wouldn’t like the writing or the MC. Thanks for making it so easy, Colleen. 🤪
Gave up after a chapter and never picked up another one of her books. One of my friends recently got into reading and recommended all Colleen Hoover books to me.
