lol Nora Im the same way. It has to be well done for me to like the first person. Cause there are some that just aren't that interesting out there in first person.....it also took me awhile to think of one off the top of my head but as an example would be Personal Demons. I got this book as a goodreads win, and although I liked the book and gave it a decent review, my biggest issue was Franny's point of view. Through other character's pov she was very interesting but the minute they switched to her pov, she started to annoy me on top of seem like a weak character. Which should be the opposite, if you are going to have a character do a first person they should be stronger in that then through another characters view of them.
I think my fave probably has to be when its multiple first person accounts(of course this has to be done right too). Patrica Briggs does a wonderful job of this in several of her books that switch between her main characters without ever losing the flow of the dialogue or muddying up whatever scene is going on.
