This is great actually and I love it. I always look for the negative reviews when I’ve finished a book. Even if I liked it. Books are long; there are so many ways for them to disappoint you. It raises the experience of reading to get into analysing the details. I think being able to notice what is good and why it is good is actually harder to do, but also interesting. Like it’s nice to explore what it is in particular that you enjoy the most personally. But hating is fun. And honestly if a book is a mixed bag, where it’s not terrible but just didn’t quite land, I think those are the most fun to discuss.

And this is why authors should keep away from readers spaces too!! Let us hate stuff. We will keep buying books, we promise!!
