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.
I enjoyed the Martian, but half the jokes were based in 2000’s homophobia or racism. What made it worse was how hard Weir worked to force them into the dialogue, just giving the vibe he thought they were so hilarious they were worth stopping the whole scene for. Gay satellite hurhurhur
