Love it when an author compares being gay and being sent to prison for a heinous crime in the same passage 😩
i like this but your like ratio is at 69
😣👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Hey
I know right? its SO great 😩😩😩
omfg,, that is my FAVORITE shit™
you should've titled this disappointed but not surprised lol
SavageCommaJade yesssss
SavageCommaJade omg yaaaas queen!!! 🙌🙌👏👏
SavageCommaJade lol
"why I'm not surprise" star logo.
Girl how’d you know my middle name
We love a king who isn't striving for that toxic masculinity and acknowledges other's rights.
“Oh sorry I fell asleep while I was waiting on you to make me sandwich!”
“Go back to sleep AND STARVE!”
the fact that the book is called ‘ugly love’ is also a big 🚩 because no babe it’s not ugly love this is ugly manipulation and abuse!
Lmao fr
Nope how TF is that abuse dude. Miles never abused her
@@makeuprudie6540 abuse is not only physical it can be emotional and verbal as well
@@abh1ta @abh1ta dude think about his past he was totally traumatized anyone with child can understand the pain and talking about tate she presented herself onto miles he never forced upon her. He already cautioned tate about the rules still tate went with their arrangement and got herself hurt
i hate the book but i dont see how miles was abusive? he literally told her that all he could offer was sex, what was she thinking? lmao, she literally knew what she was getting into?
"colleen hoover is a genious! just kidding, she can choke" i just died 😂😂😂
ROFL!!!!! That was my favorite line in this video. I nearly died laughing! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Same, I wish we could meme format that.
Same 😂😂😂
She’ll probably get choked by a guy from her books
Wait... you died.... choking... are you Colleen Hoover??? 😂
"We love a good incest plot line can I get a Hooyah." That kills me every single time 😂😂😂
Me too 😂😂😂
As a librarian working in high school with 16-18 year olds this is a vey important video and I will pass it on to my partners at work. Awesome job. Respect. :)
Did anything happen?
we need an update!! :)
The fact that you said "Corbin Bleu from Jump In" and not "Corbin Bleu from HSM" made me laugh so hard for some reason.
LadyBossNinja I loved that movie!!!
LadyBossNinja it’s from a vine
I’ve never seen the Vine but I firmly believe Jump In was the superior Corbin Bleu film.
You stole my burrito, Charlie I’m not in cooking school, never will be and never was, but I also read that as Gordon Bleu...
"We are going to the library to get LIT."
Only a reader would understand.
Will Herondale hello William you are gorgeous as usual. LOL
angie F Thank you, my lady. I'm flattered.
Will Herondale woah back from the dead are you
??
Will Herondale haha i love this comment!!
This book sounds like a Wattpad book
Honestly it does. Those really terrible bad boy,/good girl sort of thing with the 'hot possessive douchbag'
Gurl, I read Wattpad books better than this.
Colleen Hoover's books be like that sometimes
All of her books are like wattpad stories and not even the good ones
I’ve seen the first chapter of like two of her books as a preview on Wattpad before
“We both laughed at our sons big balls”
THIS IS A LINE IN THE BOOK😂😂😂
WHAT THE HELL
And it's literally about a baby
@@itscherylplayz8925 ew what
@Smita Kumari yeah it's disgusting, and nothing to laugh about
the parents are also step siblings laughing at their infant son's "big balls". that's all you need to know about colleen hoover
About a few months ago my younger cousin read this book and said it was so cute and i should read it (shes 11 so first how did she get her hands on this book) but i got maybe half way through the book and started crying. mY COUSIN THOUGHT THAT- I am so mad. I didn't finish the book and afterwards her and I had conversation, but I was actually sick to my stomach that my little cousin thought that THAT was LOVE? I told her shes not allowed to read anymore Colleen Hoover books, and handed her one of my Percy Jackson books, considering that was more age appropriate and not mentally scarring for me when she talked about it.
Needless to say, I need therapy, and I'm glad someone is actually firing some shots at Colleen for this depiction of 'love'.
Kristixlol yeees show your cousin what quality literature is
YES Percy Jackson is perfect for her age. Great characters with GOOD MORAL COMPASSES and great life lessons taught through kick ass adventure stories.
I am 19 but still couldn't read that book.... it was completely disgusting in my views, never completed it. UGH!!!
Anyways, thumbs up for Percy Jackson series.
And once she gets through so good literature, show her some actually cute contemporary. There are so many out there with better romance than this crap.
I hate Percy Jackson 😂😂
It was so annoyingly childish and those mystical creatures just popped out when it was convenient for the plot and the characters were so immature
Don't give such a shitty overrated series to your poor cousin
I walked into Barnes & Noble the other day and under "Our Staff Recommends" was November 9. I almost screamed.
I would have taken all those books and moved it to another section, that book shouldn't be reccomend lol
I literally saw a bookseller recommending it to a customer… All in front of my eyes.
3 years later and everyone in my country loves that book and i just dont get it. not just november 9 but all other of her books. im so dissapointed but not surprised.
Now that Colleen Hoover is very popular again and everyone on Tiktok loves her books, I just keep thinking about your vlogs where you rant about how terrible her books are. Brings me joy
i see 5 star reviews of this book everywhere and it’s genuinely concerning
Booktok is filled with people obsessing over mediocre books over and over
I genuinely don't understand how people don't see how problematic a book like Ugly Love is.
@@AM-dd6dx I'm on a side of tiktok where people slander Miles.
@@clariskitty7525 I need to see them both slandered!!
i could've let the "everyone wants sex" line go because not every character an author writes shares the author's viewpoints, but this lady clearly has some kind of issues with lgbt stuff based on the other jokes about being gay
Also everyone wants love line like it was already bad enough with the subtle homophobia and the ace erasure (as often) but also the aro erasure as well (even thou you could argue love is not only romantic one but this is Colleen Hoover we’re talking about I really don’t expect she was meaning that in that line)
@@-dark-paradiseyeah it’s like. In this case bcuz it’s cropped up a couple times I think this is her own issues w queer ppl instead of her writing a character w issues w queer ppl, whose ideas she disagrees with. Like this is all her lmao
"He's good lookin' so it's okay right." I WAS WEEZINGGGGGGG 😂😂😂
the angles in this video are on point
"Just kidding, she can choke" bless 😂
i was hooting
"Colleen Hoover and her dumb little book " lol that made me laugh so hard.
Wow according to Colleen Hoover I am simultaneously a joke and nonexistent I love some good representation
Jamie Lester samee
Same girl
I guess I am too. Well crap
Dang, so am I!!
Guess I know what author I’m not gonna support!
Same
You're so underrated oh my god
"They do the nasty and she starts crying and he just runs away" i was drinking water and I actually choked
lmaaoo help
Drinking game: Take a shot every time there's 'DISAPPOINTED BUT NOT SURPRISED'.
cat rocks - You mean ever time he's disappointed but not surprised, or in general? He was pretty light on the disappointment, in my opinion. The whole video could have had that for its background.
Thanks I was wanting to die after learning about this sad excuse for a romance book
the straights are wildin
me when i read oversexualized descriptions of abs
Bro legit I’m bi which is basically half straight and ladies like Colleen really out here tryna make me full gay 😩
thank u caleb for taking this sacrifice for all of us so we dont have to read colleen hoover books ourselves. you are the real MVP
I basically choked watching this, especially at the “disappointed but not surprised” parts 😂😂
Angelena Sly literally same
I haven't read November 9th, an I'm not planning on it after you talked about how the love interest BURNS DOWN the main character's house.
I guess they don't like KFC either (☞ຈل͜ຈ)☞
It was a decent book. I think about it every once and a while...
Like it's just there, stuck.
*BUT HE HAS A TrAGiC PAAAAAASST!*
Lowkey Lonely So he goes ahead and burn down some else’s house? Why can’t he just burn down his house?!🤔
RaiOfSunshine LMAO
TW: domestic abuse
I think the problem with books like these are twofold: 1. the message that emotional abuse is wrong unless A. they are dealing with their own "issues" and B. they are attractive. If this is the case, then they are not "abusive" they are just "damaged" and that is somehow hot and romantic (which means they are in a roundabout way equating "abusive" to "sexy" which is not only gross, its dangerous especially to young girls). It seems to me that this idea of "damaged" being a "sexy" way of saying "abusive" is a common trend in erotica, and that especially problematic given - 2. The idea that if a person is merely "damaged" then you can "fix" them with enough love. These messages are not only problematic, as you pointed out, but can lead someone to stay in an abusive relationship in the hopes that their abuser will one day love them enough to "get over" their trauma and stop abusing them. And that's something that can literally get someone killed. These book are not only bad, they are dangerously irresponsible. Say it with me-- your abuser's trauma does not justify their abuse.
"Trauma doesn't justify being abusive," very well said. I hate the "daddy hit me when I was younger" trope that automatically absolves the male lead of all "problematic" tendencies! 🤮
yes yes yes!! perfectly said
Omg I've been arguing with people abt this thing for like FOREVER. like so on point
This video solidified the fact that I'm never going to read a Colleen Hoover book lmao 😂
Same
Me too
It's My Birth Write same
You're missing out hard
Missing out hard on someone who romanticizes abuse? I'll gladly miss out hard on that.
Her books aren't romances. They're horror novels where the scary shit is the relationships, lol.
cecillbill they are targeted to teens, its a book romanticising abuse for teens, that could make the teens think that that is how relationships work. Why doesnt she just target them to adults?
I love how you’re able to make a serious video entertaining while still providing FACTS. It kinda sucked how you had to keep on giving disclaimers before saying something but unfortunately that’s just how the world is right now. Definitely don’t feel forced to read things you feel like you won’t like because of TH-cam (for a rant video or whatever)! I absolutely love the videos where you’re giving your live reaction to the book as you read it so keep it up! :)
Marie Namiah If you don’t have any squicks and triggers that’s great for you and all, but you don’t need to be so condescending and dismissive about it.
@@WarKeineAbsicht I don't think they were talking about disclaimers for things that could be disturbing or triggering. A lot of people now put disclaimers before expressing their (usually not even offensive) opinion on a book. Usually something along the lines of "I'm not saying that it's a bad thing if you have a different opinion on this book. Everyone can have opinions so please don't attack me because I promise I'm not attacking you."
Your sense of humor thooo
"He killed someone but he won't goto jail cuz he's good looking"
Lololol
This is my favorite video on TH-cam.
Everytime “Disappointed but not surprised.” Came on the screen I cackled LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. I love your ability to recognise problematic issues in the book and make me laugh simultaneously
Is that Corbin Blue from Jump In
I felt a single tear of joy run down my face from laughter.
needed to rewatch this video after how much she’s blowing up on tiktok lmao. a bit of me dies whenever i see some teenager gushing over her books.
Same same
*is an asexual*
*_disappears_*
I wish my asexuality gave me that superpower.
@@emdove Wait you're visible?! I thought we were all invisible
Lin C. I’ve crafted myself a custom portable closet to live in, the straight pride flag I painted the outside with seems to trick people into noticing me 🙃
You're not supposed to disappear, you're supposed to divide into two of yourself. You are clearly bad at this asexual thing.
I walked into Barnes and Noble today, and the first thing I saw was a display with all of her books and a sign that read, "Just because they do bad things sometimes doesn't mean they're a bad person."
I about died.
and now, in the year of our lord 2022, booktok has popularised colleen hoover again... pls help
now that colleen hoover is popular again , i feel so good coming here and satisfying my hater self
teenage you was so fun
"...Just kidding she can choke."
I legit bursted out laughing.
You were ahead of your time
it really feels like you're being gaslit by the whole world when you don't like colleen hoover's books and everyone else does. "all your perfects' literally traumatised me; apart from the cringey lines, the portrayal of love and infertility and mental illness in that book? horrifying. the couple's relationship is strained because of their fertility issues, she spirals into depression and gets no help for it, the mmc cheats on her (and claims he did it because he missed her and loved her so much), and everything is solved in the last few pages. i am still reeling from the horrid experience that was that book.
I came back to this video because I remember this so vividly from years ago when the booktube community was pointing out the problematic writing of Colleen Hoover. Now, her books are undeniably trendy and popular like what….
Well her books are targeted to teens and most teenage girls are on tiktok so I guess that's why. I'm a teenage girl and I also got introduced to her from friends I quite like some of them tbh
It’s all because of the damn TikTok
Idk why teenage girls love toxic men🤦🏻♀️ This is why I don't read romance books anymore.
@@lunaeverIy Then they grow up adult women into toxic relationships. ie, my sister.
i can't believe this book was shelved in the YA section of your library. eek.
and maybe someday is shite. don't listen to anyone.
legit tho, That relationship, whilst not as bad as this one, is equally as cooked. It's seriously strange how this woman makes money and writing all these relationships that are always so problematic.
Page Turner it’s maddening!
Lol never seen your channel before haha, just subscribed you’re pretty cool😄😄
aww, thanks!
There’s a weird process to cataloging and most of the time the librarians who interact with the public don’t determine where items are shelved. There have been times that my co-workers and I have actually sent items back requesting they be placed elsewhere. Ha ha!
Caleb would really hate After by Anna Todd
Jayrisss .Vasquez that book😂 it's so thick😂
u saw the future
i keep coming back 2 this video whenever the booktok colleen hype gets on my nerves a bit too much
Same!! They’re starting to dislike it though so we are getting there lmao
agh yess!! the whole coho booktok cult is the bane of my existence
I'm almost at the point where i wanna create a hate club for her books 😍😍😍
I read Slammed by Collen Hoover last year, and I utterly HATED it. I don't know, I just couldn't stand it. It was so juvenile, hypocritical & manipulative. Maybe I should give her books another shot too?
NOT.
Prer Tae for some reason i kind of liked slammed, but the 2nd book was trash and she tried to drag the success out. overall she’s pretty fucking juvenile as a writer.
Layla Hasanzadah I've heard smilar thoughts about it too.
The only book by her that is actually good and has a good message and made me cry was It Ends With Us. That's good, in my honest opinion.
The first book that I ever read by Colleen Hoover was It Ends With Us. And it was actually one of my favorite book that stuck with me. It made me feel a lot of things. I thought it was pretty amazing. Now, Ugly Love seems completely different (in a bad way) xD not interest on reading that one.
I guess it was because It Ends With Us was something that Hoover herself had gone through. Her parents had abusive relationship and she hasn't, in any way, romanticized domestic violence and that's why it was so good.
After your review I cannot believe how many booktubers says it’s their favourite book and giving it 5 stars…
I love the fact you explicitly said don't recommend me anymore Colleen Hoover books and don't go buy them and half these comments are saying how they love the books and just bought some and are recommending you more😂👌
Olivia Rose In Bloom ugh ik, people are fucking dumb.
Yes!!! I haven't read this (and not planning on it) but how many woman have been through relationships like this and have come through the other end with scars, and then this chick is writing relationships like that and acting like its love and making them for young adults and teens to learn about love, and seeing this shit. No. Pls authors, write healthy relationships when writing for young adults and teens.
Natasha Moore Not all of her books are for younger audiences(i.e. Too Late) and not all of her books have terrible relationships(i.e. Without Merit)
To be fair, I think authors should be able to write about abusive relationships so long as it's clear that the relationship is unhealthy. So long as it isn't romanticized I think it's fine to write about it.
@@pikapower_kirby that's the point. She romanticizes cheating/drama /abuse etc
His channel is literally a digital book club, and I'm HERE for it!
Maybe this comment will get lost among all your other comments, but if you ever read this I’d like to tell you that as the mom of a teenager who likes to read I cannot tell you enough how much I appreciate your candid review and making me aware that this garbage glorifying abuse is out there and being recommended. Thanks for letting your viewers know that this is NOT cute. I will talk to my kid about it. Also, you’re hilarious, keep up the great work
Here three years later after reading two Colleen Hoover books because of tiktok. I only read the second one because I thought they all couldn’t be that awful with such good reviews, right? I’m in full agreement, all her romances are toxic abusive relationships, based purely on lust being disguised as love, zero character development and a “twist” ending that is lame and predictable.
I tried the Ox line with my fiance, and now my next therapy appointment has been moved up to Friday.
😭😭💀💀
i saw the thumbnail for this and am commenting before the video even starts just so i can comment nO
I wanted to watch this because of the thumbnail. It was perfect!
It's sad that this is written by a WOMAN.
I'm not here right!!!! I feel like half of the time it’s women putting us down!!
She's a pick-me femcel so ofc
Boy: I make all the rules
Girl: oh okay yeah I guess I’m okay with that.
Low key Tamlin and Feyre.
Christine Roland agreed but thankfully Sarah shows how that is abusive later unlike in this book
Christine Roland except that Feyre was never ok with that
I agree, and that’s how Rhys kind of was in the recent novella. He didn’t make rules for her like this, but he did oversexualize and control her. Like them bitches couldn’t even look at one another without fucking. What kind of relationship??
I've only read the first book but if this comment pertaining to that 1 then he definitely had a reason to control her like that. He was trying to save a whole country
Um actually Girl... I wouldn’t comment until you’ve read the second book at least. I’m not going to try and sway your opinion, but def read the second book before deciding if Tamlins rule making is... good, I guess.
This book sounds awful. I don't have a problem if people like a book. that's there right. But ignoring the very obvious red flag behavior is an issue. Thanks for pointing out all the problems with the book.
Steph C agreed
The way I JUMPED when he said “You’re going to fall in love with me, Rachel.” I was really looking around like, “who said that?”
It's there everywhere in the flashbacks and its creepy how he's obsessed with her when he doesn't even know her
What I think it is funny is that in 'this is how it ends', she writes about an abusive relationship even though her other relationships are just as bad 😬
It Ends With Us, not This is How it Ends, but yeah I agree with you
Ik this comment is 4 years old lmao
At this point i think she needs therapy
@@onsrejeb6083 I have read a bunch of her books for the hype and to get an idea of her stories and writing style and stuff. And I have the same concerns. I feel like she didn't get the mental help and therapy when it was really necessary and now I'm just worried about her
I feel like the main guy being a walking red flag is a common theme in her books. It was the same with Ryle in It Ends With Us. Back then I wrote it off as CoHo making him creepy on purpose (as he ends up as an abuser), but then in her note at the end she was discussing how she had a hard time because even she kind of fell for him in the beginning? Um he was literally creepy as hell from the get go and idk what about him was EVER lovable??? That's when I decided I'll never read a book from her again lmao
you really were the og coho hater and i respect that
"we both laughed at our son's big balls" this is straight up heinous Chile 💀
Everyone on booktube and booktok recommends her books like they’re must reads and I REFUSE to read them because I watched this video 2 years ago LOL I’ve never read a single thing written by Colleen Hoover and I am proud of it thank you Caleb
"we both laughed at our son's big balls" WTF I'm dying x'D
Just came over to rewatch this book review after seeing Caleb's newest video about Colleen Hoover and...I don't think he gave his teenaged self enough credit in the newest video.
In this video he straight-up says that he would have had a higher opinion of this book if there was an epilogue that acknowledged that this was an abusive relationship. Which is exactly the case with the only Colleen Hoover book that he's had any positive thoughts about.
I’ve never read a book from colleen hoover and I’m so glad I haven’t!! Honestly all the things you say are true! Thankyou I won’t ever read her books
I feel like Colleen Hoover books are just over, like they are SUPER problematic and our society now just shouldn't stand for it. Don't we have enough sexism and abuse in EVERYDAY LIFE?!?!?! I'm glad you made this video to shut down the haters and verify your feelings, which I think is actually a very well-thought idea. Also shout-out to you for not giving her money and supporting your local library! :)
also the ace erasure makes me want to scream
"Say the word ox, cause that's my new favorite word from you~!"
Uhhhhhhh...are you high, Main Character?
I’ve seen her books around multiple book communities, and honestly, from what you’ve quoted, I’m disgusted 🤷🏼♀️
LOL Colleen Hoover books sound like my life “She’s gonna have some insecurities and some drunk guy is gonna be like “You’re pretty!’ and she’s gonna be like ‘You’re right take advantage of me!!!’” DATS MY LYFE 😂😂😂
Well... that doesn't sound good.
😂
Tracy Osimowicz nah gurl you can do better!
You deserve better :')
You deserve the BEST!!!! 💙
I wished you read "It Ends With Us" its the only book I ever read from her and it's really good and handles the abusive relationship the way it should be handled. I have never seen anyone mark a library book LOL. I love how much you look out for women characters!!!!!!!
I didn't like that one as much.
I read Maybe Someday when I was like 11, and thought about it just recently and read all of her books almost, and I've only read like 3 I absolutely hated.
It Ends With Us is also the only Colleen Hoover book that i've ever read, and until I saw this review I also thought that it was a good example of gender equality, exploring relationships. However, listening to this review I realise now that 'oh no, that book is also really messed up'.
I recently read “It ends with us” and it was like also my first time reading a Colleen Hoover book and I was just so disappointed because it definitely is better than what “Ugly Love” sounds like but like it was also very messed up and her writing style and the characters made me hate myself. They acted like 10 year olds and the dialogue sounded like a bad wattpad story. Other than that it had a good message and somewhat good plot which was like the only good part about the book so yea read on your own risk🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
@@reginawohletz6250 My first Colleen Hoover book was "Maybe Someday" and I loved it so much that I couldn't wait to read her other books .. And then I read Ugly Love and couldn't force myself to read more than 120 pages 🤮... I felt characters in "Maybe Someday" were using their brains, but Characters in Ugly love doesn't even seem to have a common sense 🤦
Also all those “disappointed but not surprised” keep killing me😂😂😂
Just bless you for posting these videos! You always make my day
Dear Caleb,
Please don't change. I absolutely adore you rofl! I feel sad that you have to use disclaimers because people refuse to just...click...x...
Anywho, I am always entertained when you say how you feel about things. You're just the bee's knees.
Sincerely,
The Abominable Book Girl
*I AM HOWLING*
omg He HaS tHe V!!!
I hated this book so much I started doing push ups and hysterically laughing
"caleb judging peoples driving for 10 minutes straight"
i would like to personally thank Colleen Hoover for confirming i do not exist and that if i were gay (im still in the process of figuring out my sexuality) i should be in prison. thanks
Isn't it so heartwarming when an author who's so loved by *so* many people just insults you like that? I personally love it 🥰
@@smaragdapapadopoulou7807 i know! its the best feeling ever, isnt it?
"page 1, things seem to be going good so far so i'm feeling pretty confident--"
_30 seconds later_
THIS IS ALREADY STARTING OUT IN A REALLY BAD WAY
I feel like you gave it an honest chance. And now I don't have to try to read her books. Thank you.
the amount of times the disappointed but not surprised slide comes up
kills. me.
I can't tell if she's write fucked up stories on purpose or if she is promoting these as good relationships?? like you said, the title is self aware, but also her parents did NOT have a healthy relationship, and she's aware of that, but it still has probably had a major effect on her. It Ends With Us makes me think that she's learning more and more.
Michaela Wagner --- "It Ends With Us" definitely shows the right choice to make in a bad relationship. And it can really be relatable to people in abusive relationships and families
Agreed!!
I also think that a lot of older millenials (like 80s born) don't exactly notice toxicity in relationships, and that sucks because they're the people who are writing stories for TV, film, & books aimed at teens. :/ PLL is ripe with it.
Michaela Wagner THIS. I'm in my later 20s and growing up it was always "do this or that to get a guy to like you" or "if hes mean or rude he's just teasing" rather than how men should respect women. Also i think a lot of 80s born producers or writers go straight for what creates the most drama (because it's more interesting) than how things will be preceived by a younger audience.
YES!!! I'm 24 and I get that too. I'm constantly trying to help my friends do better in their love lives omfg there's so many trash men that want them. and I agree!! or even when it's still a healthy relationship they still have them fight over dumb things to create drama. It's they don't know how to make anything interesting without relationship problems.
this is the best video i have ever watched. the fact that everyone loves this book is insanity. thank you for slandering this book & coho ur my fav person ever
last comment, 50 shades was a POOR example of bdsm. it was just abuse guised as bdsm. subs make most of the choices for the doms, and its about trust and consent.
In fact imo a video game portrayed it best -_-;;
Azazura-daro as a kink newbie, thanks! This is really important information! Also, what video game are you talking about, if I may ask 👀👀👀👀👀 For research-
your voice would be greatttt as an audio book, honestly that would be one audio book I'd pay to listen to *not an Audiobook for this book but just a book in general* seriously, consider it id pay money for that
“Can I get fiery chicken nuggets?” 😂I’m screaming
It's so refreshing to see someone with a following this big who doesn't like her books either!
On a more serious note. All what you say, the way you wrapped up this video is so right. I loved november 9 when I read it, I thought of it as romance and love and fun and would have give it a four star. But now that I think about it, and watch this video and other ones and reading reviews of how shady and wrong and sexist this type of plot line is, and seeing it marketed off as romance, I realize just how manipulated and threaded into this type of books I was. And I called myself a feminist. This brought light to some aspects I should've been more aware of. I realize this now, so thank you
At least you're aware of that now. There are ADULTS who would romanticize and want these kinds of relationship.
Can I get a HOAEYAH? 😂 and I guess I'm not a human......I knew it.
I've never read any of her books, and now I'm traumatized by the quotes from this one 😂 how does this have a 4.3 on Goodreads?!
This is the first video of yours I've seen and I'm in love. This was HILARIOUS. The entire time I was thinking "Wait, is this E. L. James and 50 Shades of Gray under different names?" I'm so glad you finally compared them. But 50 Shades totally DOES romanticize the relationship and make it into a love story when it's really outrageously abusive, but HE'S HOT SO IT'S OKAY!
Tysm for the honesty!! Everyone loves this book, like wtf, I get everyone has their own opinions but it honestly made me feel kinda crazy that I was the only person I know who doesn’t like this book. It isn’t romance its abuse and that ain’t cute. I’m not gunna be a hypocrite I probably would’ve enjoyed this book when I was 14, however I feel this is the kind of book you would like if your new to reading. Now I’m so much more mature and can see the red flags. To be fair if it was labelled as a toxic relationship then it wouldn’t be so bad but it’s promoted as a love story. My one big concern is that its targeted to young impressionable people who may then in return think it’s okay to be used instead of someone getting therapy.💀
I always wondered what you were talking about when you said people loved these books… flash forward to 2021 and she’s all ppl on tik tok talk about
True. I'm eager to read Colleen's book despite the fact that it might/is problematic because of the hype and everything going on in the internet. I gotta judge it with myself 😂
Okay. It's only been 2 minutes amd I changed my mind 😂 Nope. I'm not gonna read books that romanticize abuse and sexism. Disgusting.
@@jaishalba8519 i just looked up someone review to see what they were talking about and it was bad
@@jaishalba8519 went back to watch this video again. I listened to it ends with us on audiobook and the writing is terrible for one, it sounds like a fan fiction/wattpad. The things that happen are so unrealistic are just weird, he knocks on every door in the building to find hers just for sex. The actual plot isn’t terrible but the writing is so bad and stuff is so forced like the Mc relationship with atlas. Ugh
@@jennamichelle5043 well, totally forgot about the book but thanks for the heads-up!
I’m so glad that when I was in high school I somehow avoided these books. Instead my teachers pushed me toward great literature with healthy relationships.
I have seen this video an unhealthy amount of time, but it never gets old
this book being popular on tiktok makes me think abt this video so much
