Worst Books of 2023

These are the books that I just didn’t quite enjoy this year! I definitely tried to be more honest with my reviews and give more 1 and 2 stars if I wasn’t all that into a book rather than just giving it a three like I usually would. I definitely didn’t actively hate any of these book they just weren’t my style and taste!

Disappointing Books of 2023

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!
