what’s the most laughably bad book you’ve ever read?

[Vanessa]

I've been thinking about this question for a few days. I think for me it was by Seth Grahame-Smith

[Selma]

the american roommate experiment

[Abby]

Can't Remember. My mind must've blocked the book cuz of how bad it is...

[Sofia]

Melt for us by Molly Doyle, couldn't even finish that cringe ah book, it was literally 100% smut and 0% plot. Around page 25, I couldn't even breathe bcs of laughing so hard-

[Emma]

Banana Cream Pie Murder by Joanne Fluke. I understand the love for cozy mysteries, I really do, but this book spends more time on the main character getting the recipe for a cheesecake than it does on actually investigating the murder. And the actual mystery is really dumb. No care about the murder method or how they got away with it, they just reveal the culprit near the end but they were using a fake name this whole time so you can't even guess them. Truly a disaster.

magnolia parks it was so bad genuinely one of the worst books i’ve ever read

[Lisa]

Say You Swear by Meagan Brandy. It’s unbelievably bad. And just when you think it can’t get any worse - it does!

[Meghna]

Spanish Love Deception

[Malissa]

Missy the Werecat by PG Allison (just ugg)
Monster Core by Dante King (truly horrible)
Metal Mage by Eric Vall (definitely something)

[Avni :)]

Shatter Me - the series (and the author's attempts at using figurative language) gets worse as the series progresses!

[Marrico]

Outside of the ones I've written? Something "by" James Patterson.

[Marrico]

Oh, and Fifty Shades of Grey.

[♥️ alli ♥️]

archer ‘s voice .
im sorry the stripper scene and all the sex scenes were just bad 💀💀💀

[Richaar]

Ugly love by Colleen Hoover. The funny thing is that I actually thought it was good at first. I'd rated it 5 stars. It is the first English book I've read, so my standards were low at the time.

[Anthony]

I give up on scrappy books...

[Ruth]

The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas
If We Ever Meet Again by Ana Huang
And ANYTHING CoHo :|

[candycorn]

ugly love, november 9, and the cruel prince😭

[CybercrrEDU]

I'm not judging others reads here so please no offense meant. But I bought book 1 and 2 of the Twilight series because everyone was raving about it. At the time I didn't know you could return books. I dnf'd it on the 3rd page. It was so blah for me. This was also during a time when I didn't know you could preview a book before buying it. I didn't even screen them I thought it was akin to stealing. lol

[Timber]

Haunting Adeline 100%. To be fair I went in blind thinking it was about ghosts (sadly it is not) but I really don’t get the hype 🫣

[❁ Ashton ❀]

Icebreaker

[Nathaniel]

I don't remember the title or the author but it was some insane "foreigners take over the United States" armed resistance thing. What made me pick it up, is another question. I don't know. I don't think I read the back carefully enough.

I remember the US military leaders sounding like high school seniors though. I don't have a military background, but I think I knew more than the characters in the book. I put it down, and sold it at Half Price Books or something.

[Rox]

Hooked, it was so bad and cliche i keep laughting when the guy talks trying to be sexy

[Introvert Insane]

'Xi's the One' (yes, a fanfic about the president of China, 'Kissing the Coronavirus and its series'. They're horrible but my god they gave me the best laugh.

[chris ꨄ]

probably any joke book ever

[Esoteric]

Scarlet by Marissa Meyer. The romance sub-plot is so cliche and forced I literally laughed and put the book down in disappointment when it kicked off.

[✨sophie✨]

Twilighttttt was hilarious bc of how mopey and whiney Bella and Edward were when they were apart 🤣

[Gypsy]

Crave by Tracy Wolff, it was just a carbon copy of so many books that I had to laugh, however it has also become one of those books that are now my guilty pleasure.. I will still reread it 🤣🤣 but to be fair I did enjoy the rest of the books in the series.

[gabbie]

Nora (Grayson's version) wrote: "ugly love by CoHo :/"

omg same that book was so unbelievably bad

[Anita]

a book I read as a novella about 50 pages were sex scenes. Bad ones at that. Felt like I was in a repeat mode.

As a person who has tried Joanna Fluke recently, I get what you're saying. She is not a mystery writer, cause "the mystery" is entirely secondary to the recipes.

Joan wrote: "For me it was The Midnight Library. Not at all what I expected...just pretentious and preachy."

Same. The way the alternate realities were handled also just felt really cheap. Like... she chose to move to Australia, and because of that her friend is dead? What an awfully inconvenient butterfly effect.

[lexie]

love on the brain!! omg I actually lost brain cells from that book.

[Lene]

hate to say this but: a million kisses in your lifetime. to me, it was just this cringy, bad wattpad-ish kind of story and i had to force myself to even read a chapter. the mmc was so childish and immature 😭

real. I liked it when I was younger but i realise how med it is now.

[STish]

Fourth Wing & Deadly Education. Worst books ever!

[Barbara]

Sorry to say but "The Sunne in Splendour". I usually love anything historical but I just couldn't get into this at all.

[Cheyenne]

This might cause some drama from the BookTok girlies, but Den of Vipers....if all you want is smut, then it's great. But it's horribly written, and plot/character choices make no sense at all.

[Nina]

All This Time.
