My Top 3 Bookish Icks😬📚

As readers, we all come across those small yet annoying details in books that get under our skin. One major pet peeve is the presence of stickers on book covers. The struggle of peeling them off, only to reveal a sticky residue, feels unnecessary and annoying. Another common issue is the often unrealistic third-act breakups that novels tend to employ. When characters part ways over misunderstandings just before a happy ending, it can be frustrating, yet somehow we keep turning the pages.
