Hahaha as soon as you went into how her humour overcasts every character I thought of Aly Hazelwood and how the overall vibe I got from reading her books was that she’s just painfully obsessed with herself. I’m glad to have come across this more “cynical” review as I’m coming here after someone had given this book a 10/10. Thank you for setting my expectations in place 😊
i loved it, found it charming. having recently broken up with someone, i could really relate to jen, and andy‘s perspective felt vv truthful. it reminded me of the second half of her memoir, which i found very honest and which i really enjoyed.
Noughts & Crosses by Malorie Blackman which is a dystopian novel series is written from different points of views but goes around it in a MUCH better way than D. Alderton though. Much more fluid and yes, you're HOOKED from start to finish.
I haven’t read this one yet but I did enjoy(?) Ghosts. I feel like she’s a little closer on the spectrum to literary romance rather than just the basic romance genre. Not sure who blurbs this one but I get what you are saying about the gushing of ‘emotionally intelligent’ writing. I hate to be a brat but I think people (generalization here) who feel/think that way about her characters probably haven’t dug into their emotions as deep either. Probably a good starting off point for people to be a bit more introspective which is cool! I think I enjoyed my Ghosts reading experience because it just read so easy lol as you were saying about getting a lot of pages turned. I will say I enjoy her internet presence and like to read snippets from her weekly column. There’s a reason she’s so popular!
@@RecoveringBookSnob yes! I’ve followed her on instagram for some time and some of the advice tid bits from her weekly column are nice (they are pay walled! lol) and given your review I think I can pass on this one! ☺️

Really liking the title of this video.

Agree with all of this !! Ghosts is definitely my favourite of hers. And I am aware of her internet presence but have never kept up. Will have a look
