Have you ever read a book or books you would consider toxic because of the effect it (they) had on you. If so which one.
I was scrolling through my Goodreads to see if I had ever read a book that I would consider toxic and I found one. Kill Me Softly is the biggest mess of a book that I have ever seen. At one point there's a teen girl and man in his 20's in bed together a few days after they had met, the tension was enough to make me feel SUPER uncomfortable and I read a lot of raunchy stuff. The whole book was a mess, and all it takes is for one sad impressionable girl to read this book and make some serious mistakes. It's so sad because the book had great potential.

That is a shame. I just read the description and it sounds interesting, but........ no. no no no no no.
ReplyDeleteI KNOW. I had such high hopes for this book and it was the most disturbing thing EVER. When anyone ever tells me they're thinking about reading this book i honestly yell "abort mission".
DeleteI would never read this book, that's for sure! One look at the cover, and I run in the opposite direction!! Lol.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think that any book that causes a reader to feel VERY uncomfortable, and also causes the effects of reading to linger and linger in the mind, can definitely be classified as "toxic". The fact that there's a minor girl sleeping with a man in his 20s is enough to make me feel unpleasant. But the whole theme of the book is obviously disturbing. Again, one look at the cover is enough!
