Here are some of my unpopular opinions: Smut in books is just OVERRATED. It seems like some people only read books for spicy scenes. The Hunger Games is not on booktok enough. It’s a booktok book, but I just don’t see it that often. I feel like some booktok books romanticize abuse in relationships, and that is just something I cannot support. The Fault In Our Stars is a contemporary romance that I feel like should appear way more on booktok. I don’t mind people who annotate, but I would honestly never do that, because that seems very time consuming.

I was really enjoying ugly love but i think what ruined it was Miles character development. He treated Tate so shitty and i didnt find believable that he treated her shitty because of his past. And that weird twist with Cap at end was not believable for me either🤧 i did like it in some parts but it just fell flat for me at end. Still love Colleen Hoover though lol. My favorite from her is it ends with us🤍

Love Hypothesis is one of the worst books I’ve read this year and has positively the WORST sex scene of anything I’ve ever read. As for CoHo, I’ve read two books of hers now (November 9 & It Ends With Us) and I just can’t get into her tendency for writing male leads with savior complexes. I have specific issues with both of them but as a general writing style thing that’s why I’m not into her. Still, anything that gets people reading is a win in my book 👍🏻

I absolutely agree with u on People We Meet On Vacation it was soooo boring: the constant back nd forth between past nd present was so boring nd most of the time I felt it did nothing to the story nd was over descriptive ( another book with kinda similar vibes was love & other words but in this one I felt the back nd forth made the story interesting and helped in adding more depth to the relationship nd characters) Also, the reason behind the conflict that lasted 12 years was so underwhelming nd I think a conversation would've solved it...nd I didn't feel any chemistry between the main characters Loved the video !!! 💖

I’m team manuscript for Verity. I thought she was very manipulative and even in her letter at some parts I thought she was being manipulative. I think Verity is pure evil. What really solidified my thoughts is when I watched this video interviewing Colleen Hoover. CoHo said that she thought Verity is evil also, and if the writer believes it, I believe it.

Ok sorry I feel the need to stand up for the Spanish Love Deception hahah🤪 So, it is a slow burn, but in my opinion very well done. It felt like I was reading a comforting romcom movie and in my opinion it had enough cutesy scenes, I didn’t think it was boring at all aa. There is fake dating involved and it’s an enemies to lovers, that’s the best combo ever tbh. Aaron Blackford is one of my top tier bookish boyfriends. And don’t worry, there is spice in there, you just have to be a little patient. It’s totally okay if you don’t feel this way when you read it btw, butttt I just wanted to make you less nervous to read it, it’s a super fun romance read. Loved the video!! 💘

Well, I didn't like ebooks either. I ended up getting one for Christmas one year, and I used it once or twice and then sat it down. I came back later out of boredom, had a couple of books on it, like free stuff. I turned off all the lights at night, shut the blinds and read. I realized how much I enjoyed it, a magical experience. I still read paperback and hardback. I prefer hardbacks, but hey, none of us be rich, right?

I know it's been a while since this video was uploaded but I thought I'd mention my unpopular opinions : 1) the silent patient has an incredible plot and the author is a genius but the ending is kind of predictable (to an extent) 2) all your perfects would have been a thousand times better if there wasn't that "then and now" part, I would have loved it so much more if it went at a normal pace. I hated that I had to fall in love with the couple in the then part and then be heartbroken for them in the now part, last two chapters are worth keeping up with all of that though.

I liked People We Meet On Vacation more than beach read but its just my opinion I guess I also prefer paperback more than hardcover 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️also agree with you with the overly hyped books I read it ends with us but it didn't make me cry but enjoyed it or song of Achilles but a thousand boy kisses definitely did 🤔😂

Some of my unpopular bookish options - Im not a fan of Colleen Hoover, especially ugly love. I couldn’t get past certain aspects of the book lol 😂 sorry girl - I prefer Ya books over adult books, especially romance. Some spicy scenes are too cringe - I Hate the bully romance trope and the unexpected pregnancy trope

I also don't like colleen Hoover, but I have only read one book, but from everything I have seen cheating is a common theme, and that really turned me off. I also didn't see anything special in the book which was sad bc when I started I was really excited to read it but had gut feeling I wasn't going to like her books.

I honestly kind of agree about the Cruel Prince (pls don’t attack me 😅). Personally I didn’t think it was bad, but it was so hyped up that I was disappointed when I read it. Overall not a horrible book, but definitely overhyped.

Sharing my opinions!: 1. I have no idea, I haven't read the book. 2. Ugly love was kind of predictable, but I LOVED the book. 3. Strongly dislike ebooks. I feel that they're more difficult to understand and imagine. Plus it just feels better to read a physical copy. 4. ack I've never read the Song of Achilles but I want to! 5. People on the book cover ruin it like why are you on there go away. And especially when they're shirtless like nO 6. I've never read the book :D 7. I have never annotated my books but I really want to. I think it's fun and decorative- However, I would never write in my book. That is book MURDER. Only on the annotation tabs. :D 8. I honestly love both. I have a few books that have nice hardcovers so yeah- But I also love paperbacks 9. The Inheritance Games. I feel so guilty for saying this but I have never read it! (EDIT: I READ IT!! I LOVE THIS BOOK) 10. Guess what... never read the books! :) I heard good things about them, though! 11. Guess this is what I'm going to say for each one now. Never read it! 12. I loved Ugly Love. It was my first... *spicy* ... book so it was a little scary but it was worth it. 13. You already know. Never read the book. 14. I'm not really sure about this one. Long chapters can get annoying but when a chapter is one page- However, I would say shorter chapters because I recently read a book that had the shortest chapters but they meant so muchhh- 15. I don't mind the friends to lovers trope but it's def not my favorite. 16. I'm torn. It Ends with Us was my favorite book. I recently read it and I fell in love with the characters. It was so adorable and had so much meaning. However, Ugly Love had so much meaning as well and I- I just can't pick. 17. I'm just going to assume cheesy romance covers means like people kissing on the cover or something. I don't mind them but when it's real people- no. just no. 18. I feel like wattpad stories are disorganized and a little all over the place, so yeah, I agree. 19. Ugly love was all that
