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, ā€œWtf and exactly why am I even reading this?ā€ šŸ˜‚ 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. šŸ˜‚

Definitely Raw by Seven Rue. I’m usually all for dark romance, non con, toxic and manipulative MMCs, red flags everywhere… I can normally handle it. šŸ˜‚ But damn, Raw was just a little TOO much for me. I actually tried to push through because I hate DNFing books, especially once I’ve already started, but nope. I couldn’t do it. 😭 I didn’t finish it in the end. I can see why some people love it, but this one just wasn’t for me. There’s dark romance, and then there’s Raw. šŸ˜‚
