I don’t think booktokers actually read bc everything they read is just like WHAT?!? Ugh. They romanticize the worse things possible. My first Booktok book was November 9 by Colleen Hoover. They said it was “the best romance book ever.” Oh boy, how wrong I was. ML IS A CREEP, FL IS WEAK. There’s so much to say but all there is to say that it’s so bad, it’s sickening. I’ve read two more C.H. books just to give her a chance and it just made things worse. She can’t write. Her plots are so bad, they’re flat and repetitive. I’ve even read Haunting Adeline, I regret it so much. Why does no one bring up the bad parts? The part where the ML quite literally ruined the FL in the worst way possible. But oh everyone says, “it’s dark romance.” How?…I don’t get it. Every Booktok book I’ve read were just published physical Wattpad books. Why do they keep getting high ratings??? Doesn’t make sense. Don’t even get me started on the hockey series, especially “The Deal”, omg it’s terrible. And the author Lauren Asher, I can’t even get into her books either. Im sorry, I just can’t stand Booktok.

    Finding a good method to get recommendations for books that I enjoy reading has changed my life.

    I’m not going to begrudge anyone for reading books, regardless of how shitty I might think they are. Scrolling tiktok and then finding books and then going and reading them?? Sure beats just continually scrolling tiktok, or Twitter, or YouTube, or any of the countless other worse ways to spend your time.
