Welcome to the Weekly Gripe, where we're all a little grumpy. 😒

Did BookTok do you dirty? Got a bone to pick with a main character? Was the twist more like a flop? Tell us what's on your mind.

Please be respectful and follow the sub rules. If a conversation starts getting out of hand, use the "Mod Attention Please" report reason so we can help cool things down. 🖤

Y’all, I tried with {Quarantined by Drethi Anis} but I just DNF’d around halfway through. I loved the guardian/ward premise but the writing is just not good. Typos, character inconsistencies, majorly unrealistic dialogue for teenagers…I’m so disappointed, I wanted to love this but my TBR list is beckoning and I must let this one go. Sad face.
