A coworker that I respect lent me a book and said it was their favorite ever and I had to read it, I wanted to dnf so bad but pushed through because I’ve had it forever and didn’t want to give it back unfinished 😬

Sometimes. But once I was reading a book (Lore, actually), looked up at my partner and said “I’m supposed to like it by chapter 15, right?” And he took it away lol.
