‘But if a book doesn’t hook me… I just can’t force myself to continue when I don’t care what happens’: I powered through a poorly written book. What would you do?

Hey there bookworms! So, let’s talk about something that’s been on my mind for a while. Ever come across a book with an awesome plot but the writing is just meh? Or vice versa – gorgeous writing but the story falls flat?

Do you soldier on through bad writing for a good story? I sure do, to an extent. The more gripping the story, the more I can overlook shoddy prose. But if the book fails to grab me from the get-go, no amount of flowery language can keep me hooked.

What about you guys? What’s your threshold for tolerating bad writing or a lackluster plot?
