“Colleen Hoover is well known as the sort of poster girl for sloppily written, baffling and aggressively mediocre books.”

Thank you! I read one of her books on a recommendation and was dumbfounded at the popularity (never listening to that friend’s book recs again). I just moved on but never looked up the author - hearing that this is her reputation is… well not quite reassuring given the aforementioned popularity, but is at least a bit comforting.
