It was the absolute worst plot ever, poorly written and edited with poor pacing, shallow characters, a myriad of tropes, the telling instead of showing, repetitive language, unlikeable characters many with the same personality, and countless info dumps.

Hailey wrote: "The Guest List"I DNF got so close to the end but basically felt like I was wasting my time and didn't even care about the too many characters.
Alicia wrote: "Malibu Rising. I just did not get the hype. I felt it was plotless and pointless."Thank you Alicia!! This so spot on! There is no plot nor any real messages ...The book drags on detailing the early days of jerk Mick Riva, and his long-suffering wife he drives to drink Their oldest daughter drops out of school gets 'discovered', and becomes a supermodel yet still raises the other attractive surfer/model brood and they have a big party every year. I'm still scratching my head.

So instead she fakes her coma, poops in a diaper, and scares her son who's lost so much already .....what???

The silver swan by amo jones I was so confused by it and all that was going on there was like a new plot every 10 pages I was so confused
Normal people!!! Literally no point other than being depressed about an on and off relationship
The Spanish love deception. Absolute rubbish.
I so sorry for ppl who loves this book but love and other words… im so sorry ik so many ppl loved it but I didn’t im sorry , dont get sad pls:(
How to kill your family Didn’t even finish it
I didn't read the book this year but I really REALLY disliked Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns, it was very disappointing. LFA: Pope 'fell in love' with a girl he barely knew and he was CONSTANTLY sexualizing her- not to mention that her MALE friends were always commenting on the fact that she 'loved sex'. I'm sorry but that's disgusting. And why did she have to be the one who was the 'wild child' in this book? Why did Pope have to be the super smart one who needed a different perspective on things who fell for a 'broken girl', why couldn't it have been the other way around?? John Green has a funky little way of creating female characters and you can strongly tell that this is a woman written by a man and it's unfortunate.
PT: I have the same issue w/this that I had w/LFA, yet again the smart boy with no issues falls for a girl who barely gives him a second thought and that is constantly looking for attention. Why are women always the problem child in his books??? Where is he getting this from???? Who is feeding him these constant lies😭 The book was hilarious, the characters were funny and it was relatable but it could've made an exceptional book w/o Margo's petty antics🤷
The Spanish Love Deception. I can’t tell you how much I hated this book. As far as the story line goes… it was good. But the writing I just really didn’t like. It couldn’t finish it.
I loved all the books I read this year but my least favorite one is Glass sword, took me month to read it
The people We Meet on Vacation. Definitely overrated. couldn't finish it, spent most of the book skimming.
and people we meet on vacation (not a fan of friends to lovers)

All your Perfects. I found it to be awfully boring and depressing with no real plot progression.
Finn by BJ Alpha and Fierce King by Sadie Kincaidliterally would rate them -100 if I could, WORST books ever. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

anna wrote: "They both die at the end"the book was so slow, and the ending pissed me off so bad !!
aristotle and dante dive into the waters of the world, the first book didn't need a second. Good girl bad blood was literally a drag to get through, and I haven't read the 3rd book of the series because of it.
Promise No To Tell by Jennifer McMahon
Aristotle and Dante dive into the wonders of the water, or whatever the title was, we didn’t need a second bookAnd good girl bad blood, ngl, I hated it
