bookblr community….what were your LEAST favorite books of 2021? the ones that made you seethe, ones you have been wanting to complain and rant about, whether you loved to hate it or hated hating it. I am here and dying to know

I usually DNF books that I don’t care about in the first fifty pages, so there aren’t many books I hate. There are some that are boring, but… there’s not the case of this post.

HOWEVER, I did finish A dowry of blood because I got it through Netgalley and needed to write the review. And oh, boy, it’s a queer retelling of the Dracula’s brides and how can queer vampires be so boring!!! I didn’t like the characters, the writing style, the letter format… ugh.

Also,Vita Nostra. I finished it because I wanted to know how it would end, but that book doesn’t make sense. And not in a cool way.

How about you? I also want to read some rants!!

The road trip by Beth O’Leary

I feel this book was advertised completely wrong !! I don’t know if it’s because the authors previous books where lighthearted, nice reads and this was kind of presented in the same way . But It wasn’t the slightly angsty road trip I was expecting. It’s a book that needs trigger warnings for many things including sexual assault. The back and forth between the past and present was frustrating and To be honest none of the characters were that likeable.
