What’s a book you read that just didn’t live up to its hype?

Post by London Baum »

Especially with “BookTok” these days so many books get talked about and some get talked about and pushed everywhere, but sometimes they just aren’t that good to you. For me there are 2 that I saw (and still see) raving reviews for that I simply just do not understand the hype, The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager and The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave.

I almost feel guilty I didn’t enjoy them when people rave about that, but they just were NOT for me. So I’m curious if that ever happens to anyone else?
