[quote=Anonymous]Bridgerton - made it to the third book. Couldn't take how toxic all the men were. At least Netflix/Shondaland changed the characters significantly so they weren't such jerks.

Dorothy Sayers' Peter Wimsey books - people say you have to get to the 8th book to like the series? Sorry, no.

The Maid by Nita Prose - offensive, terrible neurodivergent rep, the police investigation was something out of the 1800s, not fit for a contemporary story.

Elizabeth Peters' Amelia Peabody books - maybe I'll try again, but I find romantic leads who snipe at each other constantly to be really upsetting to read. I need affection. Banter is good, but I remember thinking they didn't like each other at all.

Finlay Donovan by Elle Cosmino (sp?) - I thought it would be fun to read something set locally (takes place in Loudoun), but the first book was horrific. Main characters uses duck tape to "fix" her kid's hair when they cut it off by accident. She and her soon-to-be ex husband are immature, jerks to each other. It's supposed to be funny and a lot of people love the books, but I found Finlay annoying. [/quote]
