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 can’t remember the exact title, but it was a non-fiction book titled something like “Why America is Mad About the Wrong Things”
I stopped early in chapter 2 when I realized it was going to essentially be the same chapter over and over.
While I was taking business classes for a short while, I learned that business books are almost all based around a really cool idea that can be explained in one chapter, that is then stretched into 20 so that it can be sold as a whole book.
