    I am TOTALLY with you Amanda - if I don't like any of the characters then I am going to have a rough time getting through the book. I felt the same way about His & Hers and the book club discussion was the only thing that kept me from dnf'ing it! One of my biggest disappointments this year was The Villa - weird vibes and storyline, plus I just didn't connect with any of the characters :(

    The House Across The Lake was my least favorite book of the year. I loved it until the paranormal plot twist, then he lost me. I literally dispise that book now. It actually made me mad that he took the route he did because I was loving it so much. 🙁 I don't know if I will ever get over it enough to read another book by him. Lol

      this!!!! I was so mad. Felt like a cop out for not coming up with a more creative way to tie up the end

    I was loving Caraval but the ending made me so mad, I haven’t continued with the rest of the series.

    I felt the same about My Policeman, The Kiss Quotient, Twisted Love. Love the honest hot takes

    Twisted Love was my worst book of 2023 and I was so hesitant on starting twisted games since I read twisted love back in march & that book was 6,7,8 stars for me. I read it in 1 sitting it was everything highly highly recommend you continue the series

    my friend read the inmate and i read never lie. we can both confirm we hated the experience. never lie was the most outrageous and ridiculous read i think i have ever put myself through.

    So sad Lauren didn’t enjoy Caraval. I love that series. Also sad that you didn’t love Twisted Love. I hope ya’ll find some better reads in 2024!

    Caraval. What a let down. It SHOULD have been a favorite of mine! Ugh.

    Amanda two of the books you read I read also and didn't like it. The first is No Exit thought the ending was weird. Anxious People made me laugh through about two pages then it got boring. Started Lattes and Legends got a short way through and found it boring and stopped reading it

    you two are the first book tubers I've seen say that "the atlas six" was not great. Which I agree with, i did not like any of the characters and also thought none of them were actually good people.

    My policeman, I wonder if you’d like the series ‘fellow travelers’ on… uh… 👀… max? One of the streaming services. lol. It’s gay spicy tho. Just a heads up. Like, chile arbol, Thai chili, roasted, dipped in habanero oil spicy… 🫣

    Caraval was a dun read, but not really memorable. The Writing Retreat was the worst book for me.
