I have two. The Ritual and Drowning.

The Ritual is pure smut. 61 chapters and every one contains a graphic, demeaning sex scene. I’m convinced the author was an adult film screenwriter and decided to try their hand at writing a novel. There isn’t a single likable character in this book.

Drowning isn’t a great work of literature. I felt that the characters were very two-dimensional. I hated how naive the author made the protagonist. It made me have a lack of sympathy for her. The ending was series finale of Dexter bad.

    Babel by RF Kuang. I DNF’d it around 40% through, but I might go back to it later on once I’ve made my way through more of my TBR.

    As a lover of classics I don’t have a lot of patience for modern historical fiction where the characters don’t actually talk like people from that time period, and this was Babel in a nutshell.
