What was the last book you DNF?

Recently I tried reading 'Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone' by Benjamin Stevenson off of StoryGraph's recommendation. It seemed interesting based on the synopsis, and it wasn't a hard read. The pacing was similar to other stories I've enjoyed reading, too.

But man, nothing about the book was interesting to me. None of the characters interested me enough and the plot wasn't all that interesting either. I kept telling myself to try a little bit more. I read about half the book before I decided to call it quits.

What was the last book you decided to call it quits on?
