Welcome back to Chocolate Covered Pages. Today I am talking about books I initially DNF'd but ended up being 5 stars for me. I used to think DNF'ing a book meant it just wasn't for me. Turns out sometimes it means I wasn't ready yet. Today I'm revisiting the books I gave up on — including one I put down because I needed to switch formats — and telling you why I ended up loving every single one of them.
