i personally hated we were liars and tsitp
Maze runner all my friends loved it and i thought it was boring!
don’t hate me for this, but personally fourth wing was a major disappointment

I think there was so much hype around it that I went in with extremely high expectations. I still enjoyed it/found it entertaining - I really liked all the dragon politics/interactions, but definitely not one of the best in that genre I've read.
Will still probs read the next one though at some point haha (keeping my fingers crossed for more dragons)
sorry, but, Agatha christie's - And then there were none.
I’m sorry, but- one of us is lying. None of the characters had any depth to them, and the “plot twist” was reaaally predictable.
the love hypothesis! the first half was decent, but the second half RUINED it for me. also, the whole thing with her being 'so small' compared to adam drove me insane
my most recent disappoint was the right move by liz tomford 🫤 it was good but everyone was saying it was Wildly better than mile migh but it was no wear near as good as mile high
Im gonna say it... Song of Achilles— there I said it. Definitely not the 5 stars everyone was giving it, tho also not as bad as a 2
book lovers was the biggest disappointment for me... its my most liked review though hahaha!
Don't hate me for this, people we meet on vacation, I tried it twice and couldn't read more than 70 pages before get so bored

the inheritance games im sorry i felt like i was reading a wattpad story
Sadly, Fourth Wing. It wasnt bad but it wasn't good either.

u guys are gonna hate me for this but shatter me , i might give it another go but i DNF'd it. also ugly love i don't understand the hype
ACOTAR - PLS DON'T KILL ME
Icebreaker,i was soo excited to read it and I think that’s what made the disappointment bigger.
Tbh all Colleen hoover books,I never wanna read any again😭
I am shocked by these comments really me the whole time 🫢😮But that’s fine I mean everyone has their own opinion
definitely the inheritance games. idk why i didn’t like it but i just couldn’t finish it.
we were liars and the midnight library
The American roommate experiment is the only book I have DNF'd out of all the books I've read this year. Definitely was not worth the hype it got.
an old one, but Bridget Jones’s Diary… first time reading and I just thought it was boring :( DNF
don’t attack me but…the summer i turned pretty. i hate that series 💀 (but if you like it that’s totally fine, no hate to you at all <3)
We were liars and throne of glass which i dnf
twisted love, recipe for love, ugly love and things we hide from the light
don't hate me but for me, it's binding 13
The stars are dying.There’s a LOT of issues with this one
Love, Theoretically. I've seen a lot of people who loved it, but I just don't understand why. love hypothesis was so cute, and this was the same book but worse
Well I’m going to say it. ACOTAR, it is WAYYY to slow for me. I’m trying to get through the first few chapters and it’s not working 💀

I can talk forever ab some of these overhyped books but here’s my list books I thought were j bad:
The love hypothesis- ali hazelwood
Happy place- Emily Henry
The seven and a half deaths of evelyn hardcastle
Books I thought were overhyped:
Normal people
Fourth wing
Verity
…do you guys remember the matched series? That series I think is overhyped LOL
I have a few:From Blood and Ash by JLA
ACOTAR by Sarah J Maas
Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
If we were villains. I hated the characters and it was boring for me
Normal People by Sally Rooney, it was trash.
Haunting Adeline and if we were villains
The Perfect Marriage, I had such high hopes for it.
