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.

    I’m just going to say it, it was Invisible Life of Addie LaRue for me. What a boring person surrounded by other boring people, and one casual moment where the author mentioned that an inconsequential side character was “a Black girl with dreads” sent me into a rage spiral because how in this story spanning 300 years was every freaking character white? How relentlessly unrelatable and boring. I had no sympathy for the character Addie and the book felt like watching paint dry except it was just watching someone live with the consequences of their own foolish choice.
