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.

The Secret, got it as a gift and opened to a random page that basically made the point that all things that happen to us is because we wanted it to happen. I'm not gonna read some crap that blames victims with a flair of Oprah new-agisim.

Oof. The book actually says that?

I can't say all that the book says because I didn't read it all, but the few pages I saw definitely made that point.
