What's the worst YA book you've ever read?

[Beatriz]

Most YA books aren't real literature so

[Sammy]

Not that it was the worst YA novel I've read in my life, but I simply couldn't grasp the point of Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

It is just so messed up and disturbing."

it's literally some of the best character development ive read, but I see how it could be viewed that way

Just wanna add Hello, I Love You and Halo.. I read them recently and I don't wanna sound mean but I wanna smash the main characters' heads against a wall :/

I actually really enjoyed Red Queen. A little boring at points but very intriguing and an extremely unpredictable twist.

I hated Marked by P.C. and Kristen Cast, Zoey was so annoying and everything was about her. If she didn't like somebody, something horrible happend to that person.
I also didn't like Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater (I thought it was boring and that Sam sounded like a girl) and I really think Looking for Alaska by John Green is overrated. Miles came quite whiny over and I thought it was a bit pathetic (but I did like TFIOS was great)

For me, Throne of Glass was just plain awful. the main character was a moron, and I was just TOLD all of her accomplishments and abilities "I could have done this." SHOW ME AND DON'T TELL ME. sorry, I just couldn't finish it.

( dunno why i kept reading these >.< )
( all of them )

[Stefi]

Red Queen
Fangirl
Paper Towns
White Gardenia

the first three I just did not like the characters and the plot was very disappointing. The Last one was just horribly written all together I still do not know why it was ever published.

Glad I'm not the only one!!

SPOILERS THAT YOU ALREADY KNEW ALERT: I think the worst I've ever read was the fault in our stars. I give mixed reviews on it but I've always hated the end. It wasn't that the only interesting character died but AM I REALLY SUPPOSED TO CRY OVER "8 days later he died".
THAT'S IT.
Lazy writing right there.
It just didn't live up to the hype

Matched by Ally Condie

[Taryn]

Adding on to the list I made last year...

The Divide. Written by a ghost writer and not LJ Smith, but I can't fault the new author because of the crap from the original series she had to work with. Some of it is basically a rehash and the plot is snooze worthy.

The Ruby Circle. Remember when I said that Bloodlines was bad? Its finale, TRC, is a half-assed, rehashed rush job with marriage and babies for everyone, character assassination, and Mary Sues.

Glass Houses. It will never cease to amaze me how so-called genius heroines make the stupidest decisions and their IQ drops (along with their panties) around hot douchebags.

Half-Blood. Did you enjoy Vampire Academy? Then go re-read VA, because this book is pretty much a copy/paste of that series except Aiden and Seth are WAY douchier than Dimitri and Adrian, and Alex is an extremely juvenile version of Rose.

Anew. Flat characters, lame story, and dull romance. The biggest thing is that the author has the characters think in such evasive and convoluted ways to keep the "mystery" alive, when real people don't think like that.

Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side and Cinder. Interesting premise, poor execution.

Alone. I would have bought the character of Sienna more as a normal teenage girl except it's repeatedly shown that she didn't have a normal childhood. Too much special snowflake syndrome, bitchy and useless heroine, major inconsistencies, and random asspulls.

Throne of Glass. Hate me if you must, but I like my assassins to be, y'know, sneaky, stealthy, and assassiny. Not attention whorey, prone to childish hissy fits, vain, stuck-up, and basically acting like teenage drama queens from the twenty-first century. Way too much telling and not showing.

I will note that most of these are books that disappointed me and not necessarily the worst books I've ever read (although Throne of Glass and Alone would probably be in the 'worst' pile), but I couldn't in good conscience recommend them to anyone.

"all the bright places" and anything written by John green except tfios

[Samantha]

Allegiant by Veronica Roth

This book made me hate the entire Divergent Trilogy. It felt like she abandoned the original plot with another one. Clearly had no experience in writing in two different POV and killed Tris just to shock readers.

That really pissed me off.

[Chani]

A lot of people probably already said this, but..... TWILIGHT!!!! I shudder whenever I hear that word now. UGH.

[Samantha]

Lol, I used to be a fan Twilight when it first came out but as I got older, I realized it wasn't the best series to read.

[Jennifer]

I couldn't get past the first book in the twilight series. When he started stalking her and she was like "omg it's so romantic" I almost threw the book at a wall. I didn't bother continuing with the series.
