Can we talk about book pet peeves? One that l've realized lately bugs me SO bad is terrible titles, specifically titles that really have NOTHING to do with the actual plot. For example- the Guest List by Lucy Foley, tag line: "you'd kill to be on it." If you've read that book, you know that the big suspenseful ending actually has NOTHING to do with the guest list or being on it. Nor did anyone kill to be on it?? lol, like wtf??
I feel like sometimes authors just try to come up with catchy titles.
I love when they MEAN something, a la Grapes of Wrath or Pride and Prejudice.
Anyway. Just a random rant. Wondering what other books you know of that you just don't get the title?
