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.

He won't grow that way, though. I hear so often about people lying in reviews, it's insane. Why not be honest?

Because I don't want to crush my friend's confidence when he's just starting out. I gave him a thorough list of things I'd recommend doing in the future offline. A public review isn't a place for that criticism.
