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.

I listen to books more than read (mom of 3 littles) and I got a few chapters into "Hooked" by Emily McIntire and cringed so hard at the spicy scenes and couldn't continue! Just not for me. I'll take Commune or Red Rising any day but I apparently can't handle too much spice!
