When I read the book way back and pointed out that someone got literally SA’d and also ended up with that person, I suggested that there should be trigger warnings and it should NOT be romanticized. Somehow I summoned all the credence fans who continued to attack me, so this video really cured my soul

15:07 coho has a son. Hes just ALLEGEDLY a piece of garbage who SA'd someone and Coho blocked her. Allegedly... Edit: sorry, I was mistaken. Apparently it was sexual harassment of a minor. Which is... also a crime.

a while ago i saw a person on ig reels promoting credence as an “age-gap romance” book without even mentioning the GROOMING AND SA??? like how can you promote that to your audience in good conscience 😭😭

I WARNED YOU GURL 😮. I love a good trashy romance but this was BEYOND insane.

Great that the the terrifying psychopath character is mute, thanks Penelope Douglas

So her daughter is just a few years younger than that main character?! I could not write smut books if the character was only remotely a similar age as my child or younger sibling.

"Coloraaadooh" and "Kale" kept hitting me like a convoy of trucks lmao - thank you so much for your suffering/service

I NEEDED this for my airport experience. Sending this video playing through the security checkpoint

Im a middle school teacher (7th-8th grade) I’m not joking when I say when I saw a student carrying this book around with them I almost fell over (never read but heard it was bad). I don’t understand how YOUNG teens can just walk out of a bookstore with this book??? Or why can’t they come with some sort of an explicit label to put on the front cover like a CD used to lol

I feel like the Van Der Berg naming is very, like, medieval, before surnames became separated from occupation - names like Smith/Schmidt, Müller, Schneider, and other characteristics that made characters stand out in a smaller community. Like, ah, it's John from the mountain, he comes into the village and helps the farmers with fixing their stables, brings materials from the mountains and lives secluded there most of the year. Like that makes a lot of sense.

Oh and also your hair looks fantastic ✨✨✨

In the stall, when you specified woman and not by a man, I was almost certain you were going to say horse at some point. I've never read this book and never will but seems on theme.

6:48 color me shocked that the author is self obsessed

I’m here from the future to tell everyone that I name dropped Credence to as many authors as possible to authors at the convention I was working at and they all had the same disgusted reaction as we bonded over what the hell is wrong with book tiktok/ ‘reading community’ for women these days(cuz I feel like corn content is being pushed onto women right now like they keep shoveling garbage at us specifically as if we can’t read normal books or something, bigotry of low expectations) and then I bought a ton of their books so if anything ever stands out to me I’m recommending it to the channel unless it’s 500+

I'm so ready for more videos discussing how terrible the dark romance genre is. Yes, it's fictional, but we need to critique the kinds of books that are created and what kind of discussions they promote. The dark romance community tends to fail on every regard because instead of sticking by the stance that fiction is fiction, they tend to romanticize horrific stories and call them "beautiful love stories". A "love story" cannot be beautiful and also include grape, SA, and predatory behavior from the love interest. Clearly none of these authors have the actual capabilities to write good redemption stories that involve the abuser acknowledging what they did was wrong and getting away from the victim, because dark romance relies on the idea that the abuser never changes so he can continue being dark. So instead, they end up trying to justify his actions as a way to redeem him. Thus, dark romances end up being insulting to SA survivors for attempting a justification. It's far more disgusting to try to justify SA than to write your problematic kinky fantasies surrounding it. Because at least then I know that you know that SA isn't good and you just enjoy it as a fantasy, and I don't have to wonder what you actually think about SA survivors in real life because you wrote whole ass books trying to say that it was okay the love interest SA'ed the mc because he had trauma 🤦‍♀️.

Only 10 seconds and already want to say I’m truly sorry for the fact you had to read this book

26:53 yeah they’re kind of chewy but they start sort of hard, I don’t eat candy but my mom likes these so I’ve been around them

sophie makes the biggest sacrifices for us

just an FYI, she likely used 'swag' to refer to free merchandise from the motocross companies. Companies frequently get merchandise with their logo to advertise their product and then put it into 'swag bags' and whatnot.

I'm fine with trashy literature, they're basically popcorn flicks in written form. However, Credence doesn't get a pass on that. It goes past the pale and is absolutely disgusting and deserves the fire pit. 🤢

just found ur channel and holy shit u are SO FUNNY instant subscribe ❤😂

not the horsie morsies 😭😭😭

bro your reviews are so funny and so real

Swag is a real word semi commonly used to describe clothes given for free from a brand!

Someone i follow on Instagram praised the couch scene 😭😭 they naturally didnt give context to what happens in the scene bc it was filthy

Hi there, just wanted to say that the author of credence goes by they/them pronouns :)
