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.

Wizard's first rule. Heard a lot of good things about the series, read the first three pages and the vibes were wrong. The prose was bleh, it wasn't hooking me, i just knew it wasn't right. One of the only times I've returned a book.
