Can you imagine walking up to someone you just met and yelling at them "DON'T FALL IN LOVE WITH ME" I'm pretty sure most people wouldn't fall in love with you after that because that's fu*king weird. So I guess if you really don't want someone to fall in love with you yelling that at them during your first meeting with definitely make them avoid you for all time. It's just weird and arrogant and pretty narcissistic. I remember in the movie A Walk to Remember this good girl is supposed to tutor this bad boy and she says that to him right after she agrees to tutor him and they don't really know each other that well and even though we find out later she has cancer I always thought that was really fucking weird of her. And I still think about that moment to this day like wtf?

If you want a book about a historical woman fighting for a profession that she is barred from solely because of her gender, I reccomend 'the Lady's guide to petticoats and piracy' by Mackenzie Lee. It is YA and is technically the sequel to the 'gentleman's guide to vice and virtue' but it can just as easily stand on its own. It's a historical with slightly fantastical elements.

Frowning is literally an upside down smile in north america haha.

So this author thought she was writing a feminist book, but made her main character super conventionally attractive and had every other character constantly remind her of how beautiful she is? 😂 Great. Nothing has changed, I see.

Happy to know that other people recognize how utterly terrible this book is 👍

Yesssss my favorite rant reviewer! 🤣 No for real though I loveee that you're willing to hate-read books and save us all the headache 🤗

I always wonder, since this is an actual book, not a self-publish or something: Who publishes stuff like this? :D I don't mean to be mean, everyone deserves a chance. After all the author tried right? But isn't there something called a lector (don't know if this is the correct english term) who listens to an idea or looks over the book again before it gets launched. I don't find any better example because I by far don't read as much as you do, but how can this exist and Harry Potter gets denied by many publishers at first? 🤔 Also: great video. This was a blast to listen to. Thank you so much :D

Me: **Applauds you** Why? Because you're fearless in your opinion, and I love that you straight up suggest not to read The Beautiful. So many booktubers would be like "Don't read it, but you can if you're a little interested." That shit just leaves me confused. I came here for YOUR opinion, and I got it. I'm satisfied. And I definitely won't be touching The Beautiful as it sounds atrocious.

I see rant from ivy i instantly like, also you beautiful

Another rant by one of booktube's premier rant queens. Such people don't hold their fire. What r u gonna do for 20K or is it a surprise?

I’m glad I’m not the only one who didn’t like it. I didn’t even finish it, I got just over half way through and just couldn’t put myself through anymore. May try again next year maybe not, don’t know yet.

*sees a new rant* *drops everything* *clicks on the video* Missed your videos!

I am here just for learn English .

I love how your mind works in drawing out logic in your reviews. I really appreciate the effort you make to really disect the book for us. OMG, I hate when characters are sent back in time and is not thinking of a person who lived at that time. It is lazy writing. GREAT Point You made!

In the beginning I was confused why in the world someone would prefer taking a ship to going by plane until you mentioned the time period 😅 great rant, they are always so fun to watch

👏👏👏❤️ I really wish this had been good. By the way, I finished House of Salt and Sorrows! LOL so it was kind of what I predicted but also very weird. Meh, I gave it 2.75 but the crazy thing is that I would still recommend it to specific individuals because I liked how well it represented the feeling of a TRUE, classic fairytale. The whole plot was not my favorite, but I had a better time than expected!

I’m still looking forward to reading this book...but I love your rant reviews. I can never resist them. They’re great!

Welp, time to take this back the library

I know you probably have a list of books you want to read, but I want to recommend a Historical Romance novel called "It Happened At The Fair by Deanne Gist. Oh my goodness! So good.

Or when in the beginning of the book they're all getting interrogated by the police and she just stands up out of no where... like girl why did you do that

Yay, ein Rant :3 Das hört sich nach einem wirklich grauenvollen Buch an. Props an dich, dass du durchgehalten hast XDDD Ich habe auch diesen Trend festgestellt, dass YA Protagonistinnen nun ihre Schönheit zwar benutzen, sich aber dennoch dagegen wehren. Was soll das für eine Message sein? ,,Als Frau hast du sowieso keine Kompetenzen, also schäme dich dafür, dass du in der Lage bist, mit deinem Körper zu manipulieren''? Nicht sonderlich Pro-Feminismus :D Und genau deswegen lese ich so selten YA Historical Fiction, denn die meisten Autorinnen bekommen es nicht hin, neumodische Einstellungen oder Skepsis ggü. Rassismus und Diskriminierung sensibel genug zu etablieren. Ich habe da eher den Eindruck, man macht es so plakativ, um möglichst tolerant zu wirken. Wobei es auch durchaus Leser gibt, die alleine durch das Vorkommen von Rassismus als Thema Autoren als rassistisch beleidigen (siehe Veronica Roth mit ,,Carve the Mark''). Wie dem auch sei: Ich habe applaudiert :D Liebe Grüße, Sana

"Woe is me, my boobs are huge :("

I wanted this book to be good. It just wasn't. Made my eyes go crossed. Horribly boring.

Thank God this book wasn't in my radar AT ALL. It didn't seem interesting to me and it seems like I have dodged a major bullet

Hehe your rant is so good I'd love to read this book just to hate it and rant about it too... but guess better no!

This book sounded interesting but I was already kind of afraid some of these things would be an issue when I watched a more positive review.

You are hilarious 🤣 I've subscribed!

Can I say that you look really pretty in the thubnail. 😘

guess will skip this one

So I agree with your review, but you can definitely frown with your lips... so I'm confused by your confusion about that.

I really enjoyed this book. Gave a really good New Orleans feel to it. Great literature? No! But interesting.

you already beautiful no need to read it 😁

😘

I understand where you're coming from, I just want to say that feminist figures has existed since women exists basically. They're not historically inaccurate, it's just that we've never hear of them because most books were written by men.
