I think you're the first person I've seen on yt to not like the Once Upon A Broken Heart series. I appreciate your honesty on this channel!

[@sarawithbooks5316]

I honestly didn't expect you to enjoy the ballad of never after haha. The YA writing style doesn't change in the slightest so not surprised. Also don't really understand why people gotta hate on you for not enjoying a book 💀 super unnecessary in my opinion (coming from someone who loved the ballad of never after)

[@makaylajadden]

Please NEVER STOP giving honest reviews. I legitimately feel the same way about Binding 13 so I appreciate you

[@taofyadigun8638]

I can’t believe you got hate comments for your opinions on the past video. You’re always so respectful when giving your opinions. This was such a great video and I loved this concept💞💞💞

[@chelleb5652]

listen if they are writing a mean comment about fictional characters you dont like they need to touch some grass and gain some reality.

“I’m fragile and have anxiety” Girl I felt that so much😭

[@curiositykilledthekat]

another great vlog! i do admire you for giving these series a second chance bc i personally just drop everything right away if i dislike it haha

The Once Upon a Broken Heart series is one of my favourites, but I can understand that it does read quite young. I'm sorry that you've been getting awful comments over it, it's interesting when someone else doesn't like the books that I do! I appreciate that you're not sugar coating how you feel. Love your videos always. 💕

So bizarre that people would leave hate comments. It would be so boring if booktubers never shared their genuine opinions on books - that's part of what I enjoy about watching videos. Plus, someone not liking a book I like isn't an insult on me as a person - it's not personal. Some people are weird!

[@kaitlynpotgieter4633]

Girl, I feel you on the once upon a broken heart series, I tried to get through the first one and just gave up. Proud of you that you pushed through the second.🫡💛

[@orlagracee]

I honestly love your attitude towards your channel! Just deleting hate comments and still being honest about your feelings is so refreshing to see. I 100% agree with the OUABH series and it felt like it was being made up as she was writing it!!

Your story about going to the dermatologist was so enlightening and so relatable. I truly admire how vocal and vulnerable you're being able your acne journey. I totally agree, I've also had acne for almost ten years and it's literally like someone's crushing my heart when people point it out. I hate to assume but I feel like that doctor wasn't professional when examining you. Sometimes I wonder if these doctor possess any type of sensitivity training when examining patients because acne is such a mentally debilitating thing to go through and should be handled with the utmost sensitivity. Girl, don't beat yourself up about this because I would've cried too. So proud of you for acknowledging that the doctor hurt your feelings. That's one step closer to advocating for yourself. I also get anxious so I understand how hard that stuff can be, but kudos to you for recognizing hurtful behaviors when you see them. I'm looking into getting a dermatologist myself so I'm hoping your journey with accutane goes well!

babeeee i love the boys of tommen series and I am sooo happy you gave it a second chance even though you didn’t like the first book!! i totally agree with you in terms of like johnny and shan being childish in their relationship but i think that’s what makes it so real you know? like it’s very much teenage love! Anyways that was my two cents, love you and love your videos!!🩷🩷

[@FallingUpASMR]

I love your videos! I've been on the fence about reading all 3 of those series so this helped me a lot! 💓

[@JenevaGriffin]

I appreciate all reviews. Even the bad ones. It helps to have an overall feel of a book. I appreciate all of your opinions. And knowing you don't love YA, this makes sense. It's all good babe. 🥰 Thank you for your honesty.

[@duru1176]

girl first of all i love your channel and i love how you speak your mind !! i think you should definitely give a shot to the third book in the shatter me series if you ever feel like doing another one of these videos i personally didn’t like the first two books as well but the third book is one of my all time favorites !! sending lots of love 🩷

[@normafromthenorth]

Happy to see you've posted. I loved once upon a broken heart and think that you're valid in ur opinion of the book. I'm exited for your future book journey and have my fingers crossed for you to have many more amazing 5 star reads ❤

[@KateClason]

I don't know why you'd get hate for expressing a valid opinion! People can be so unnecessarily rude. I love how honest your reviews/thoughts on books are, it makes me believe you more and that I can trust your opinions on things

[@macinnismama]

I love your reading vlogs ❤ I also cry in anxious situations

[@gemreads99]

We love a honest review!! I honestly can understand your thoughts and feelings towards these books, everyone likes different things. Just remember everyone to be kind❤️
