Don’t Tell Me I’m Worthless by Alison Rumfit was unfortunately a book I picked up a while ago that I couldn’t finish. I was very excited to read this book, a trans mc, a haunted house, sapphics – it was right up my alley in every way. I feel it is not this book’s fault in the slightest that I decided to pursue it. Alison Rumfit opens her novel with a note explaining to the reader that the book will go onto explore some very dark and triggering topics, alongside a list of what was to come. I, stupidly, thought I was in the right mindset and read. I got up to 100 pages in before I felt it would be best if I just didn’t continue, I skipped ahead and read some bits of the ending so that I could at least be comforted that there’s some semblance of peace come the end. By all means, a novel that will probably strike a nerve and become a favourite of many readers – but it’s extensive graphicness turned me away from it. What’s a book that you just did not finish, why did you struggle to finish it?
