What’s the worst popular book you’ve read recently?
Tell me the bestseller you hate. I am so fascinated by books that sell millions but are kinda…bad. Mine was verity. Looking for books published in the last five years or so
Not really published in the last 5 years but Rich dad, poor dad was an insane read. Like advice to get into MLMs and child labor insane

The School for Good and Evil. I will admit im not its target audience, but for a middle grade book written in this day and age i think it could have had a more nuanced take on morality (although ive heard they eventually get into that in like, the fifth book???). it was incoherent and they spend way too much time pining after a boy in my opinion. definitely not something i would recommend to young readers

This may or may not be a popular book as it was released only 2 months ago, but I think the author has some notoriety in the horror/thriller genre. Horror Movie by Paul Tremblay has an interesting premise that plays out in a rather underwhelming manner.

It Ends With Us. Shallow, poorly written, insipid trash. If you liked it I will judge you. I kept reading trying to get the part of the book that made it a bestseller and a movie. Got to the end and never found it. The hours I will never get back!

Most popular books are products of echo chambers so…
