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.

    Omg same,i kept seeing all over social media that colleen hoover books are awesome,even people in my life said so. Upon reading her books,i truly believed all that YA romance books even when i was 16 were a million times better than hers. It’s just like a drawn out terrible wattpad fiction,and if you’re not into that then good luck.
