Not really a TAAT but inspired by the Crawdads thread.

What’s a book that has been raved about, but that you didn’t really enjoy? For me it would have to be The Goldfinch, I just didn’t really get it.

Crawdads and Midnight Library by Matt Haig. Trite and boring.

The time travellers wife - just creepy or overly soppy, never romantic.
Hilary Mantel Cromwell ones - the first was ok but it felt like the story gave way to listing everyone who ever existed at court at that time.

The girl on the train…so dark and depressing.

Agree about Normal People. Hated it, felt like there was no point at all.

Normal people. Absolutely hated it. Makes my brother laugh because it gave me such rage!

The Time Traveller.

How To Stop Time by Matt Haig. Absolutely mindless dross.
