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.

NO! This book is so beautifully written and has such a unique story. I’m a big fan of WWII historical fiction and this is one of the best I’ve read. I would recommend still finishing it just because it has such lovely prose.

I think the book continues to stay with me simply because of the writing. I may return to it eventually, but I also want to watch the Netflix film, and I’m not sure how that will affect my approach to it later. Hmmm.
