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.

    Honestly? I’ll DNF if the author includes a playlist at the beginning of the book. For some reason this is getting increasingly common these days, and 99% of the time it’s followed by some of the worst writing I’ve ever seen.
