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.
Ulysses. So far it’s the only book I’ve DNF’d. I just couldn’t bear it a second longer. It made me wonder if Joyce was trying to pull an Ern Malley.
