For all that is mighty, I REALLY wanted to like RWBY volume 5. RWBY volumes 1-3 had an okay-ish story but good character interactions and SERIOUSLY AMAZING fight scenes and music. All of that kind of gets lost in volume 5, along with just in general terrible writing, which is what killed my interest in the entire show.
Divergent series. I felt kind of obligated to give the Divergent series a try - it was popular at the time and I heard it compared to the Hunger Games, which I liked. All I got was a below average dystopian story from the movie. I think I DNF'd the book at like, 100 pages.
We Were Liars by E. Lockhart. People I follow praise this book all the time and I thought, hey, it's a 200-paged book and people say it's good. Why not give it a try? And what did I get? A book filled with shoehorned-in, needlessly complicated metaphors about simple things the characters were doing to the point that it's hard to tell which ones are products of figurative language and which ones are actual events happening in real life, with 4 main characters but only one is really fleshed out, and an overall half-baked book
that's

If you asked me which book I hated two years ago I would most definitely say this LMAO
