The Maze Runner. I tried reading it twice and couldn't do it either time.



I had to DNF. The poor representation and romanticization of mental health and disorders as well as the portrayal of queer characters was atrocious and sickening

wait it was sickening that there were queer characters and mental health and disorders or the way that they were portrayed in the book?



I hated Shatter Me too. It felt super vague and cringe.

no, really? I have that book on hold...


ok...

it's alright. almost nothing can ruin books for me (that other people say). well, maybe twilight but that book has a special place labeled "effed me up so bad"

i only read the first one but i was so bored im not gonna read the rest. i mean, does it get better? i feel like if the first book isn’t good then im not gonna finish the series…
also, inheritance games was kinda of anticlimactic. i feel like it should have been exciting but it lowkey js wasn’t lol. there was stuff going on that could have been written to be thrilling but i feel like either i js didn’t get it or it js didn’t happen that way. idk if that even makes sense lol


but I'm still to finish this book. I only have a little bit left of this book, but the author uses the phrase 'to and fro' so many times that it ruined the book for me. Despite this, I did enjoy the concept and story line, it was just that repeated phrase that put me off.

The book thief couldn’t finish just didn’t like it and ended up getting made into a movie. Couldn’t believe that!
Look throne of glass is close but haven’t read the rest of the series yet so….


-twilight (+whole series)
-THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY (burning hate for it)(+whole series)
-The selection (+whole series)
-love boat in tai pei(+whole series)
-a court of thorns and roses (+whole series)
-divergent (+whole series)
-shatter me toooooo

REAL

I absolutely hated The Inheritance Games. The characters were so flat and unlikable to me, and the ending was just... what?
