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 start with the premise that I'm a big King's fan but the first time i read IT i dnf'd it about 100 pages in, i did go back to revisit it a few years later and got to the last page but i can't say i loved it as much as his other books, to me it just feels mild and a bit of a drag at many points.
