DNF Bookstore: A Shared World

by K.L. Mann

The cringiest book you'll ever read....

Winter shouldn’t be almost drowning in the middle of the ocean during a storm. Moore shouldn’t be foolish enough to jump in after her. They definitely shouldn’t fall in love after…

What happens when the grumpy, off-shore rig worker earns the affection of the sweet stowaway who is far too young for him? Find out.

Ok this one is cringey in a way that’s not even funny. Winter just makes me so fucking sad. I hope Moore drops dead. This was nasty.

Dnf at 30%. Okay, so I stopped reading because I kinda got bored. This one seems less ott and sane, lol.

So that's my reason it was meh. So idk what to tell you besides winter. I was kidnapped by her father and locked in a closet for 2 years on a rig, and he drowns and is saved by Moore, and she's thankful for him. Yeah. Pretty sane, lol. So it did do it's job lol.

No ow/om drama, no cheating, drama

DNF series challenge, review series

I'm reading the DNF series books because... I don't know. I hate myself? I'm not going to rate them because it's too subjective, but I am going to rank them from favorite to least favorite.

I will always be having a good giggle at pink neon goo/slime from now on!!

Another sweet story, after some very bad things, but she gets her very own Heman-Hero💙
🥑🍞 all I have to say regarding her “Avocado Toast” is… “To Each Their Own”😉

No.

[MacKenzie]

This one wasn’t cringey until it was lol.

[Cat · Rating 1 out of 5]

I can excuse age gap. I can excuse Stockholm syndrome and getting married after 3 days. But I draw the line at cum in slime

[Meg · Rating 1 out of 5]

I need to burn my eyes, with bleach.

[Frida · Rating 2 out of 5]

It’s fun in a “popcorn-no-depth” kind of way, but the fact that I never bothered to write a review says a lot...

[Emily]

Ooey gooey cringey

Girl just got the ’tism.

This book was interesting but intended for you to DNF and i finished it can you ?

[Chrissa · Rating 4 out of 5]

At first I was actually enjoying the book and wondering how it fits into the DNF series… and then I found out why 😂💀

[Patricia]

no. No. NO.
I finished it just because of the bingo card ngl.

This book f**king disgusting and so wrong in every way. Its not even cringe, its just wrong in every possible way.

[Sunynsf · Rating 1 out of 5]

!! dnf-series !!

Honestly, where do I even start...
Compared to the previous book I read it was considerably less cringe. But ehh, it was still poorly written.
Girl gets saved from drowning and is ready to marry the man who saved her not even ONE day after being saved. Girl, you're moving too fast, don't you think?
If the buildup had been good this might make a decent story, but then again its the dnf-series, so what do I expect.
Also, putting her husband's "baby-gravy" (iykyk) on her avocado toast was definitely something...

[Kswag · Rating 4 out of 5]

My true rating for this read was 3.5 stars.

It was moderately steamy love story that captures immediate attraction to between two people. The main male character doesn’t hesitate to save the drowning woman and they become inseparable

The narrative is rather seamless and with very little flinch worthy moments. I believe this to be another unconventional kink but yet subtle in comparison to others.

This one lost me for a bit, I was thinking how on earth is this in this series but boy was I in for a *gooey* treat.

My mouth was AGAPE. As someone who isn't great with textures anyway, this had me stamping my feet going Ew.Ew.Ewwwwww!! Also, my girl secured the bag quick- she got herself a rich husband and a lifetime supply of*ahem* craft supplies. She'd only just been released form her closet! Trust the dirty seamen 😉

I mean, that's one way to get your protein 🤷🏽‍♀️

Didn't enjoy it as much as the last one though

[Kaylee · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’m sorry but I loved this so much. Moore and Winter 100000% matched each other’s freak!! If your man isn’t jumping off an oil rig to save you even though hes never met you, you need to find a new man. My bestie’s who love crafts will really love this book 🤪🫣 If you have been looking for a new way to spice up your morning avocado toast, this book has the best recipe. 🥰 I truly loved this and can’t wait to read more by this author.

[Heather Dean · Rating 3 out of 5]

I did not find this nearly as cringy as the other books so far. I did really like the setting and how she’s was a stowaway. How inventive! The real cringe was how fast they were moving and some clichés. I am not mad about that at all! Again this was fun, fast paced, and intriguing. I recommend as a nice light slightly weird break from all the other books!

[Notyourmomsshelf · Rating 3 out of 5]

i’m not a fan of “instalust/love” whatever you wanna call it. but, this seemed bearable? saying “i love you” Hours after meeting is a little crazy. but the dialogue in this was much easier to read in this. the fmc was a little strange to me with some of her...hobbies. but still....interesting I guess.

[Vendea · Rating 4 out of 5]

Tak vysoké hodnocení dávám jen v rámci celé DNF challenge, jinak by to bylo míň xD Mělo to být cringe, ale vlastně nebylo? Možná až tak v epilogu. Age gap, instantní přitažlivost mezi dvacetiletou holčinou a o 15 let starším borcem, který pro ní skočí do vody a zachrání ji. Nikdy bych nečekala, že někdo bude míchat sperma se slizem, ale okay...

3.5/5*

[Lauren · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is a part of the DNF (do not finish) series that is created to be as cringe as possible so you don’t finish.

Not gonna lie I actually liked this one lmao. Except for the bodily fluids and slime, my god! And I will never look at avocado toast in the same way again.

[Libbie · Rating 1 out of 5]

This one wasn't *too* bad for the first half but I've got to draw the line somewhere and apparently that line is cum in slime and virginal blood in ring crafting.

I need my eyes washed out with bleach

[Mandy (Bestie Book Reviews) · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was my seventh read in the DNF series and while the challenge is to be full of cringe....I am loving it! This book set up for a fantastic read - our heroine is rescued by our much older hero and immediately falls for him. I could have read a full length novel about this couple!

[Sarah Hill]

This was cringy but also funny! I have read all but 2 of the books in this series and I cannot wait to finish it!

[Romancing the Reader · Rating 3 out of 5]

No words…

Continuing my pattern of not reviewing these because… whew it was intensely gross but also, that’s the point? So… great job.

[Bookbun8 · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was so effing cute! 😍

I loved this book so much! I wish it was longer though so I can read about their life together.

I also like Winter's crafts 😏

It's a good thing I don't like avocado though 😏😂🤭

Oh

[JayReads · Rating 3 out of 5]

I am so confused. Is this Stockholm Syndrom? Not really, because he saved her from dying and didn't kidnap her. It does feel an waful lot like Stockholm Syndrom though. Still a decent read
