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.
the first of the Illuminatus trilogy. started reading it because it was one of my dad’s favorites and we usually have pretty similar taste but i got slightly less than 3 chapters in and gave up. Not only is the story all over the place but the formatting is so bizarre that it makes it difficult to keep track of when there is a scene or POV change.
