[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I DNF any new book - mainly if I don't like the writing style (I didn't even make it past the epigraph of Emily Henry's Beach Read "you are, so perfectly, my favorite person" barf).

BUT, if it's a classic or part of the "canon", I will usually try to finish. Sometimes I am surprised if I stick it out how much I end up liking a book. Or even if it's not a personal favorite, I will appreciate things about the writing, character development, etc. [/quote]

Oh same! I just got called out for this by my staff yesterday. But it was just too much.
A Gentleman in Moscow...I went with it for a while after seeing the author at a thing, but I just didn't really see a climax in sight for this one. 
The It Girl was supposed to be all suspense and it dragged so much that I no longer cared who the killer was. This book could have been an email.
The Family Chao lost me when the location actually exists in Wisconsin, and Haven is like, 2 roads and a golf course, so literally none of it could have happened. 
The Shimmering State was really highly regarded, and I got bored.

It took me a long time to allow myself to give up on books, and my life has greatly improved[/quote]
We need another thread for books you did finish but wish you hadn’t. The It Girl was the worst. An entire book of nothing happening! That author — is it Ruth Ware? Too lazy to look it up — is so hit or miss for me. [/quote]
