10 Books I Wouldn’t Wish on My Worst Enemy 🤡📖

Now, there are many reasons why this book doesn't work, but the main thing is it's just an overwritten self-indulgent narrative. The main character, Dorothy Daniels, is a food critic as well as a cannibal, which is a pretty interesting premise for a book. But instead of writing this in a gripping way, the book reads more like a series of unnecessarily complex food reviews combined with a murder confession.

Now, don't get me wrong, I understand that the book is undeniably satirical, but it doesn't balance the shock factor with actual substance. We spend dozens of pages on Patrick Baitman's obsession with materialism and by the time we get to the brutal horrific violence, we're just numbed into apathy and then there's barely anything left but shock value.

Now, the issue here is that it's simply not romance. It's an aesthetic wishfulfillment script with zero realism, zero conflict, and zero real emotion. Quite literally, every single conversation in this book is quite literally a copy paste of some viral romantic trope.

Now, that is a book I unfortunately finished. And if you give this to your enemy, this might work out for you. Because if they somehow manage to get through it, they will be so emotionally exhausted, so perturbed that they'll probably leave you alone for the rest of your life.

This is a book that I read 3 years ago, and I'm still disappointed about, unfortunately, today. Now, this book gaslights you into thinking that it's a really cute romance only to later slap you in the face with unexpected tragedy.

And it's so restrained, so quiet that it never fully explores this idea. There's no exploration of the horrors of this concept whatsoever. We're just going through the conveyor belt of this idea.

Their miscommunication was one long game, and it could have all been fixed with a single text message, a single honest conversation, but she dragged it out throughout the entire book. It was so frustrating. And on top of that, the book was really depressing without any real payoff.

Another book that I really thought I was going to love and just ended up hating was The Final Girls Support Group. That book pretty much put me into a reading slump. And it's insane because it has such an incredible concept, just terrible execution.
