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.
Same. The first chapter was neat, but then it immediately just felt… amateurish? I don’t know. I think of it as a bad-YA feeling (as opposed to good YA, which I know there is a ton of). I looked it up and read that it was basically horny fairy fanfic and returned it to the library.
