the worst books I read in 2025😃

This is like everything you've probably ever read or ever heard of in this genre just rolled into one and done really poorly.

The secondhand embarrassment I got from this book was out of this world. I don't really get I don't get I get embarrassed. I don't get secondhand embarrassment really easily at all.

Let me just say flipping loved the ideas in this book and what she was working with, handling. I can feel her passion and what she's super interested in.

This whole thing was just very juvenile. The plot was particularly painful, and I just got nothing out of it that I wanted, which was to see Anakin and Obi-Wan during the Clone Wars.

I was promised skiing. I was promised snow. I was promised hotel. And sadly, I really didn't get any of those promises.

This was never good whatsoever at all.

And the third book legitimately like it was written by a different person. I don't know what's going on. Incredibly lazy.

I love the scenes of like domesticity and cleaning obviously in How's Moving Castle.

For me, it just felt really empty, shallow, devoid of like any actual substance. There was nothing really of great enjoyment to me about this book.

There are some gems hidden in the dust for sure. And I liked I did like a lot of things about love theoretic. It's using terms and like terms of phrases that are simultaneously so out of style.

But, I really liked When We Were Orphans, disliked The Berry Giant, and like Never Let Me Go.

The most instantaneous instanticity of insta love that you've ever instantly instantaneously loved someone in your whole entire life. the chemistry between the two people in this book was buns and burners are off.

I thought these were really not very good. Like really not good at all. Excruciatingly painful to read and I just wish I hadn't read the first one.

This has been very popular and for the life of me I don't I don't know why because it was actually just hot melting garbage can.

I love books one and two. Book one is Spark of the Other Flame.

Unfortunately, this got boring really quickly. It moved so slowly and just could not bring myself to finish it, unfortunately.

Also painfully boring and just frankly not unreadable, but I was like, "Wow, I never want to read a book that's ever written like this ever again."

All of the characters were so unlikable. I've learned I'm not really a fan of Olivia Blake's writing style and I just did not care.

The romance in here is frankly, that's probably the part that makes me the most angry is frankly just kind of sickening.

It's just that when they're converted into I guess what has become known as cozy fantasy now. I just really don't like that construction very much.

This was so dull. This was actually the most dull text I have ever had to crawl and just drag myself through.

I thought these were really not very good. Like really not good at all. Excruciatingly painful to read and I just wish I hadn't read the first one.

This is like you're sitting on public transport, you're on the bus, you're sitting next to someone on the bus and they just won't stop talking to their neighbor. You can hear everything that they're saying. They're speaking obnoxiously loud and you just can do nothing in your power to stop yourself from hearing them speak and you wish for the love of God that they would stop speaking.

The ending was not very satisfying. And I just really didn't like this. Did not think this does the legend justice at all.

But, I really liked When We Were Orphans, disliked The Berry Giant, and like Never Let Me Go.
