What is a highly recommended book you read and hated?

I’ll start…

For months everyone kept recommending The Never King in all of my reading groups. I finally caved and read it. It was terrible, but that’s my unpopular opinion!

Fifty Shades of Grey. Didn't want to read it, got pressured into doing so, now I can't put things right 😞

@SunshineGirl Aww, I’m sorry. I didn’t enjoy it at all either. I kept telling my friends they were out of their mind if they wanted a man like that. I’m gonna eat what I want, wear what I want, etc. lol

@SunshineGirl That's a good one. I didn't like the book either. I think I had a better experience though because when I was pressured to read it, I got it as an audiobook on CD to play in the car while a girl friend and I went on vacation (we had a 6 hour car trip) we spent the whole time it was playing making fun of it and trying to give advice to the main characters because the book was so awful.

@Scribbles Awh, that sounds really fun 😊 A creative way of dealing with bad literature!

Audio books are great 🙂
