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.

    Darkly Dreaming Dexter. My goodness, it’s so poorly written. MC comes off like a 16 year old teenager’s concept of witty psychopath, top that off with painful exposition and I couldn’t finish. Awful writing.
