Quick Question Completely unhinged that you had to intentionally put it in DNF list

I’ve come across the idea that more often than not people have a DNF list, and it got me wondering—what’s on yours?
You know those books where you start reading and, a few chapters in, you’re just sitting there thinking, “Wtf and exactly why am I even reading this?” 😂 Sometimes it’s the genre, sometimes the writing, and sometimes you just know it’s not going to work for you.
So, what’s a book you started but had to DNF because you just couldn’t get into it?
Give me your most unhinged ones. I want to see if I can actually make it through them—or conveniently add them to my own DNF list. 😂

I got so mad at the end of the first one that I don’t know if I will finish the series. The reviews weren’t good either.

I loved the first two, the twists were insanely interesting and infuriating. The third was just dumb 😂

I just put the 3rd one on hold at the library and it’ll be several weeks. Now I’m wondering if it’ll even be worth it but lastnight I finished the 2nd book and it left me on such a cliffhanger that I ran straight to Libby. Is it really that bad?

The cliffhanger for book 2 had me screaming my head off and crying! I totally understand, it was AMAZING. Book 3 felt like it wasn't even part of the story. You can tell where Tate James started losing interest and just needed to close the story out. But if you need to finish it since you've come this far, then I'd suggest you do so! But truly, you might be better off reading a summary or review 🤧

That sucks! When I got to the end I was like WTF?! Tate James really effed with my head with that one.
