This is five books I read this year that disappointed me for one reason or another. These aren’t necessarily books I hated, I just might have been underwhelmed by them or they didn’t live up to the hype.

Happy Place by Emily Henry
I had high expectations because I’ve loved all of Emily Henry’s books so far but this one didn’t gel with me

Cackle by Rachel Harrison
The premise seemed right up my alley but this was a bit boring

Midnight is the Darkest Hour by Ashley Winstead
I had such high hopes for this but it was a giant fail!

The Heart Principle by Helen Hoang
I had high expectations as I loved the other 2 books in this series but this was forgettable

How to Sell A Haunted House by Grady Hendrix
This fell flat!


I am never a fan of Emily Henry’s book but I did like Happy Place more than her other books thought. I just bought the Midnight is the Darkest Hour.

I share your exact feelings on Happy Place, Cackle, and Midnight is the Darkest Hour. I’ll pass on How to Sell a Haunted House since I trust your taste. Haha

Aww I hate that How to Sell a Haunted House didn’t work for you. I read it a couple months ago and really enjoyed it.
