Not every book can be a 5-star read, and unfortunately, these books just didn’t work for me. In today’s video, I’m sharing my least favorite books I read in 2025 — the reads that let me down, missed the mark, or simply weren’t for me.
This isn’t meant to spread negativity; it’s just my honest reading experience. If you’re curious about book disappointments, low-rated reads, and honest book reviews, this video is for you. Let me know in the comments if you loved any of these books or if they were a miss for you too!
✨ As always, reading is subjective — please be kind!

Hi! My name is Melina and I am a 31 year old girl from the NJ, USA who loves talking about books! From YA to thrillers/mysteries to romance, I read it all (although fantasy will always be my fave).
