I read the first book in the series about a decade ago, and while at the time I liked it (chalk it up to me having not that good of taste at the time lol), I remember not being prepared for how fucked up it is because you don't get that vibe from the synopsis. It's...unexpectedly dark and fucked up (much more messed up than It Ends With Us, kind of in the same vein as Verity, though it's not marketed as a thriller at all), and Holder isn't a very nice character, and while I haven't re-read the book in a long time, I don't have to to know that CoHo did not handle themes like kidnapping and CSA sensitively. (Yes, those are things that happen just in the first book and it is genuinely unexpected, and that's not even the only crazy thing that happens.) Read at your own risk - it's not as fun to laugh at as Ugly Love or Verity imo. 😬
I have to say, being named after a number and choosing a different name that is also a number is funny, I would have done that as a joke if my parents named me Seven
Ngl, when I heard that they had sex in the closet, my first thought was "there was no use of protection, and there will be consequences." Oh, geeze, of course that was correct.
While people shouldn’t attack content purely for being marketed at women, being marketed at women doesn’t make that content immune from criticism. There are plenty of people who criticise romance for its messaging without coming from the perspective of ‘lol romance shallow you stupid’, and it’s so frustrating how many people dismiss good faith criticism of media that romanticises abuse and misogyny purely because women like it
Same thing with what Dan Olson said when he did the 50SoG deep dives. Yes, don't mock people who consume it, but just because people like it, doesn't mean you aren't allowed to critcize. At the same time, plenty of people from both sides of the spectrum can't seem to balance that perspective, just like you said with the people who just go "let people enjoy stuff >:/".
All I want is romance about people who respect each other and have nice and consensual sex. Or not, I don’t mind family friendly romance. Books for women can be nice, they don’t have to glamorize toxicity.
They're VERRRYY easy to read, that's why. The writing is simple, the characters are simple, and the plots are simple. CoHo also uses trauma as a way to make people feel strong emotions about the book. Death of a child in Ugly Love, mother committing suicide in November 9, death of children in Verity, etc. The readers mistake their intense sad emotions as a credit to the book's quality because it made them cry. In reality, it is usually due to the sensitive nature of trauma being depicted in a story you're invested in. CoHo doesn't believe in trigger warnings for this reason: if she uses them, then her ability to use trauma for shock value and plot twists is diminished. Her writing is also very much heteronormative and you don't really have to ever question or think about the gender dynamics present. This is not inherently a bad or good thing, and people are allowed to find comfort in standard straight relationships. I mention it solely to say that because the books never veer from the status quo, it affects their readability. It makes them easy to get through for the majority audience, which is straight women/girls who are interested in men. Again, NOT a bad thing. The writing also very much appeals to teen girls in that it's very juvenile, with a lot of internalized misogyny, and a focus on being not like other girls. This is exactly the kind of writing I'd love in middle school. Adult women who also love these books usually are looking for something simple to read, or they haven't really ever left that middle school taste in books behind. Her books do have appeal in these ways.
I dont mind stream of consciousness writing , i probably love some. But not like this . I don't get the appeal either. These are sll horror imo. Bad shitty written horror. That this is what people really enjoy boghkes my mind LMAO
@@lotusthemermaid thanks! I'm glad people thought so. These thoughts have been tumbling around in my head for a while now so I was happy for a chance to ramble about it.
Boy, I sure do love secret romances between characters who are of the same social class, racial background, and overtly heterosexual! Relationships like this totally understand why those types of relationships need to remain secret! (Sarcasm) It just feels lazy… Colleen wants all the drama and pull that comes from star-crossed lovers, but doesn’t want to put in the work of ACTUALLY star-crossing them. I guess if there were actual social conflicts preventing the chars from getting together, then we’d have to deal with compelling stakes, and we just can’t have that in a Colleen Hoover story.
Shit, considering the title is "Finding Cinderella," you'd think there'd be a concern about abusive family members finding out about the romance and trying to break them up to spite Six since the actual Cinderella from the fairy tale had to deal with that all the time; that would have been something, would have given the reader a reason to care about the characters (and explain why the guy saying "Don't date her" was so defensive about her). But no, the only things she took away from Cinderella was unknown pretty girl who works in a kitchen. Then again, considering how she handles abuse in her other stories, it's probably for the best she not try to actually tackle Cinderella.
Let’s see a crossover crack ship with Six from this book and Four from Divergent. (Their ship name is Ten.) If I’d touched Divergent more recently than middle school I’d probably write it for me and all two of the other people alive who would think it was funny
I think we've come full circle, because while the things women enjoying often are wrongfully hated, valid criticism against media is often being dismissed as misogyny/internalized misogyny. It's frustrating because if anything, its Colleen Hoover who is promoting harmful ideas about women, not the people critiquing her. She also helped cover it up when her son did some .... dubious things to someone who also happens to be a woman.
4:34 I need you to know that this quote caught me SO off guard that I tripped and bash my head on the dish cabinet. I already know that CoHo’s writing is shit, I didn’t know it’s potentially lethal as well
@@lizsmith1018 Yes thankfully😅, slightly sore scalp but I’m glad I hit the cabinet’s flat side instead of the sharp corners. Note to self: always be prepared for whatever CoHo puts in her book
That is so real... I was sitting on my bed and when that dropped I just went "WHAT?!". I've heard many a things that CoHo as written but somehow that just... tops it. I never want to hear any of those words in that order again
saddest part is she seems to not have a clear idea of the distinction between love and abusive relationship but wellll...... uhh hook up culture ig...???
@ yeah I’m aware, that’s why I said ‘a’ not ‘all’. I was once a 17 year old boy and I didn’t think like that, but I knew a lot of guys who did. And in the coho universe specifically it seems like it is all of them
Ive read the 1st book of the series back before tiktok even existed and it literally traumatized me into not reading a coho book ever again 😭 if yall think ugly love, it ends with us or verity are bad and exploits abuse... well yall arent ready for hopeless
Hopeless was the first full Hoover book I ever read and *good lord* I was not expecting it. I remember that before that one, I'd gone on this reading streak of violent thrillers, so I wanted to read a romance that wasn't as dramatic, something much lighter and more sweet as a palate cleanser. So I read Hopeless cuz it sounded a bit dramatic, but nothing super dark at all. Boy was I in for a rude awakening.
@@zombieedrea I had a similar experience, but I was only 14 when I read it and I was expecting a romcom bc like 60% of the book is a lukewarm romance... when the plot twist came I was so disturbed and it doesn't help that right after all that gore the pair had their, let's say, first time together... idk it was too much for me. At that age I already knew the type of stuff in the book unfortunately happens, but CoHo's approach to it just felt sooo wrong
As someone whose favorite game is _Little Nightmares,_ my entire body tensed up when you said her name is Six. Mrs. Hoover, it is on sight. Edit: it being Seven isn’t much better. Out of all the numbers…….it had to be that one.
I stopped brushing my teeth hearing the Cinderella description because I was in so much shock. I think my life was better before I heard that. That tracks for Colleen
OH MY GODDD, with every CoHo book Rachel Oates is more correct: Colleen Hoover really has never written a womb that she *hasn't* impregnated! I actually was impressed at first because I was certain Six terminated the pregnancy in Italy. That would absolutely be traumatizing for a teenage girl, finding out you're pregnant in a foreign country and needing to make the hard decision to terminate it. But no...adoption. Also, she wasn't answering any questions about Italy, so does this mean her own parents didn't know she was pregnant? Like, what???? That's so fucking stupid. I genuinely think Hoover is anti-choice and just doesn't want to publicly admit it, she just shows it by *always* impregnating her female characters and never writes them having to make any type of difficult decision. The child must always be born no matter what, even if your character absolutely hates children, like Verity. I'm surprised she even had Six consider adoption and didn't turn her into a secret teenage mom and had Daniel find out *that* way. It definitely would've had the melodrama she loves so much. Also, I remember a lot of people giving John Green shit for the way he writes his teenage characters and how they don't act or talk like real teenagers. But tell me what teenage boy talks like Daniel does before he makes out with Six? 💀 Again, *so insufferable.*
I can't believe I came upon this videos by pure algorithmic chance, I gotta say seeing a video about a Colleen Hoover book I have NOT heard of before really intrigued me 😭 You were SOOO funny, I love your lowkey dry jokes and editing style. Keep up the great work!! Honestly I think this was the CoHo-est book to ever CoHo - from the ridiculous character names to the wattpad first introduction scenario to the trashy insta-love paired with the weirdest fucking dialogues (and inner monologues) my eyes have ever come upon, this takes the cake. If someone ever tells me "I bet even your puke is adorable :)" I might just throw up on the spot to prove them wrong.The way she writes characters and their perspective feels like an alien's attempt at trying to figure out human nature through writing but horribly failing. If CoHo is your guilty pleasure that's SO valid, it certainly is mine for different reasons, but good God NO ONE can tell me that this is peak literature 💀 Also unrelated, but if I got a penny for everytime I followed a person named Rachel on the Internet that (occasionally?) does book reviews, I'd have three pennies. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened thrice.
I bet your puke is adorable . Omg. Coincidentally i just recovering from over 24 hours of disgusting puking. I picturing this response would have been perfect to go omg my puke is cute? 🥺 😮And give my puke bucket to him. Here, look, you really think its cute? Smell it u like it u really like it 😍😍😍😍
every time she publishes male pov,, its absolutely crazy to me that its not framed as satire? or like genuine take on male socialization? she just genuinely writes like that's romantic... that is so scary to me.
I have never read an of her books but no review has ever made them sound good Also every time you read for Daniel it sounded like a south park character and shockingly I feel they would handle this much better
As an avid romance reader I can confirm COLLEEN HOOVER IS NOT A GOOD ROMANCE WRITER JFC. Her characters are so horrible. And I don't mind a complex or even bad character, but like, when EVERYONE is awful, how am I supposed to stay engaged? Also, the sex is so bad and boring. If you do want to try some romance with good mysteries, murder, and heists, I highly recommend KJ Charles. Her most recent book, Death in the Spires is a Secret History-esque dark academia mystery, and the Lily White Boys series is an absolute romp with thievery and Victorian detectives.

@@rachelthescrub i remember seeing someone say in regards to her that her novels exist in the level of suspension of disbelief required for more dubious nsfw stories, but are advertised as romance stories which require Less suspension of disbelief and more reliance on character motivations. as such, the readers who aren't already fans go into the books unprepared for the content they're going to see, while her long-time readers know what to expect and enjoy it more. that's kind of along the lines im thinking in terms of false advertising

For my own entertainment, yes you should
protect your peace, no!!! id be interested in watching more reviews for some other bad or good books from u tho
