So, minor dilemma here.
One of the book emails I get has titles for Read and Review, where you get the free copy in exchange for an honest review.
However, what if my reaction to reading the book is WTF is this?
I'm wondering if I should write the review it deserves, or send it back to the author and tell her I can't review it in good conscience. (Either way, I'll still review it here for your enjoyment and warning.)
Thoughts?

It's not as bad as some stuff I have read.
Leaning towards doing it.

Otherwise, write a fair and honest review. If you're feeling kind because it's a newbie, go back over it afterwards and excise any/all snark. You'll never get published by Kirkus that way, but it's better for your conscience :-)

I went with your second choice.
