Least favorite work from your favorite writer and why?

This one was tough. One of my favorite authors from when I was a teenager is Meg Cabot. Since The Princess Diaries, I devoured all her books right into my 20s. However, there was one series I never could get into which is the Queen of Babble series. I read it when I was in my early 20s, and it just didn’t work for me. Its a three book series and I never made it past the first couple pages of the first book. Maybe because I got attached to the couple in the first book just to have them implode in the second. Then I found out they never get back together. Maybe its because it felt weird to me. I couldn’t relate as well to the characters in this one. Either way, I wasn’t a fan, and I never read it. 

I was in my early 20s though. Now I’m 30. I might try it again. See if things have changed. 

One more. I know you said one but this is something I never talk about. The Jessica Darling series. The first three books are great. Then the college books came out, and it just sucked bad. SO BAD. Even worse? I met the author at a book signing, and she was just…rude. I also met Meg Cabot who was nothing but a sweetheart, and she was so funny and enjoyed hanging out with her fans. Megan McCafferty was just…mean. Not welcoming.  She mocked the Barnes and Noble we were in. I don’t know what her problem was, but it turned me off her books quick. The first three are great. The rest? Skip it.
