There are many candidates, but for now I’ll go with The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.
How did I hate it? Let me count the ways. The general ickiness, tweeness overload. The anachronisms. The ridiculous plotting, absurd characterizations and sheer unbelievability. The Mary-Sueness of the protagonist. Yuck, yuck, and did I say yuck? And people loved it! This last is what made is so irritating. There are a lot of bad books out there but I manage to get along without giving them a passing thought. But this was recommended to me! By a friend! Who should have known better!
This is an extremely bad book.
