Just books, you should avoid if you do like the topic or are a picky reader like me.

One book I technically hated was The Couple Next Door, it literally and no plot and the characters were nothing worth talking about, just made to frustrate readers.
Pretty Girls - it throws in a ton of triggering topics just for the shock effect so I wouldn't recommend it
Any book by Penelope Douglas. I've read one (Birthday Girl) and just couldn't finish another (Punk 57). I've noticed the author has a habit of creating male leads with sexist/problematic behaviors, which is shocking considering she's a woman. I didn't like this and also felt that the regular agressive behavior present in most male mc's is uncomfortable and disturbing, though not always so extreme. It enforces, justifies and romanticizes harmful stereotypes relating to men as well, which is totally unhealthy.
Girl in pieces, I’m only half way through but I just can’t get into the book, yes I feel bad for Charlie but not that much, the why it’s written or smt abt it I just can’t connect to her at all and I’m confused as to when she was put into “fucking franks house” she was terrified of older men obv but she likes two men older one on them being 10 years older then her? It’s just not betrayed very accurate idk?
