I was reading books from the teens section, I didn't even know books like this were out there... and yes, social media has certainly affected how much young people are exposed too but that should be causing their older influences to ensure they aren't being exposed to subject matter they aren't prepared for. Ask what's in the bag, ask what they're reading, force them to think about it a little more, and their common sense will help do the rest, I really do believe that.

See, this could be such an interesting horror story. A young woman becomes traumatized after an attack. Her boyfriend begins to quietly resent her for not behaving like she used to. Then, to make matters worse, a ghost gravitates towards them. It begins to communicate with him and to, at times, briefly possess her. The man begins to fall in love with the ghost, who reminds him so much of his girlfriend before the attack. Just... Make the plot twist be instead that the ghost is malevolent. The boyfriend agrees to do a ritual so she can possess the body more easily, thus making his entitlement and willingness to sacrifice a living woman's autonomy for his selfish pleasure the thing that dooms them. Boom. Fantastic horror material right there.

@@tourmii girl, you don't know the half of it. She doesn't put trigger warnings on her books because she doesn't want them to be spoiled (not triggering trauma victims matters more than your plot twists, Colleen) and she continues to write dark romances and label them as romance so that more people will read them. She sells them to young teens for clout because if she labeled them correctly and didn't let teens be in the possible market for them, she wouldn't get half as much money as she does. She even attempted to make a coloring book of "It Ends With Us", which was a book about a horrible relationship that was based on her mother's past traumas. A coloring book. What were they going to color, the bruises on Lily Blossom Bloom's face after having been pushed down the stairs? Furthermore, It Ends With Us is labeled as a romance despite the actual romance being a side story, and the main story is depicting an unhealthy relationship that is meant to be toxic--so it should not have been labeled as romance. Again, that's just a way to get more people to pick up the book expecting a cute fluffy romance with some angst, only to find no romance and just all angst. All for that extra money. Also, Slammed is a teacher-student romance. She really wrote one. And defended it by writing a small age gap where he's like 20 and she's 18, when it's not the age that matters, but the power dynamic. They fell in love in like three days and the student was guiltripped in text for possibly ruining his life, which is standard gr!!! mer thing to do. Good thing to teach your young audience.

Two reasons. "Romance" and Tiktok. The idea that abuse is romantic has been shoved down our throats so much over the last two decades that it's become almost expected. The general audience doesn't even question it because they've internailzed the messages. Romance is also the most popular genre (for some reason). We need more books with heavy emphasis on other kinds of relationships gods damn it. Meanwhile, Tiktok is mostly teenagers. Namely inexperienced teenage girls. The app is incredibly popular so it's a good place to advertise. People see these books, decided to read them, and interalize the messages. They like CoHo so they make Tiktoks about her and perpetuate the cycle. So it's Twilight all over again.

This is honestly great unintentional commentary on the way that men (especially of older generations who are heavy on the “I hate my wife” comedy) expect their wives/girlfriends to always be the most pleasant version of themselves. Never get angry, stressed, need time alone or aren’t interested in sex due to things they’re dealing with in their life outside the relationship. And when they DO get angry over something justifiable it’s all “oh that ol’ ball and chain, your always wrong even when your right, the answer’s always ‘yes dear’” and that shit. The fact that women aren’t allowed to be people with more personality then just “happy” is disgusting. Obviously this is in reference to a specific kind of relationship dynamic and is not true for all men or anything, but this IS something I’ve see before quite often and is pretty common in the relationships I see around me personally.

Characters like Leeds are great.... As villains. Also I really NEED you to read Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick. It's basically Twilight but with fallen angels, an even more toxic love interest and some absolutely hilarious prose. For example the prologue literally uses "The boy had arms and legs" as a description. Like great job, I totally needed that, I NEVER would have guessed that someone who looks exactly like a human had limbs.

I think a lot of authors who get famous for writing romance with questionable male leads (Hoover, Meyer, James, etc.) would definitely be far better suited to writing horror or thriller novels. Hoover's leads would work if she was writing something more along the lines of _Criminal Minds_ where the men are toxic or dangerous because they're actually serial killers in disguise or something to that effect. Replace badly justified romance with murder mystery thrillers in the making and the male characters would feel much more appropriate due to the genre shift

He was under the impression that it was another woman and planned on cheating. Idgaf if it turns out to be the wife. Throw that trash in the bin. Intentions matter!

I literally clicked away from this video and didn't come back to it for *a whole day* because I could not handle the revolting, cringy, pretentious insta-love and conversations between the main dude and Layla. It disgusted me that much. You are a trooper for making it through this dreck because I could *not handle it.* I thought the worst was over, but as the book went on this absolute shit-sucking piece of garbage "love interest" became even more infuriating with every word. I genuinely don't understand how someone could read this and RELATE to this unlikable, selfish, god-awful excuse for a person. Did CoHo think this was romantic? Did she think the twist would absolve him of all his shitty behavior towards his (or who he thought was his) girlfriend? Because it appears that he just has an obsessive personality that begins with his new girlfriend occupying his every thought and action, but then he just transfers that obsession to Willow because Layla's physical and psychological trauma has become too much for him to deal with and she's not as fun anymore. Even with the twist in mind, it just means he's enacting all of this horribly appalling behavior ONTO SOMEONE ELSE. I hate it. I screamed in anger several times at some of the lines you read out. And all his guilt over the situation doesn't mean jack shit WHEN HE CONTINUES TO BE EMOTIONALLY, PSYCHOLOGICALLY AND PHYSICALLY ABUSIVE. HE SUCKS.

Every time I watch a CoHo book review, I think that *certainly* this male lead won’t be as bad as the previous one, right? And I’m always wrong. This guy might be the most angering for me bc on top of all the regular CoHo main man nastiness, the ableism he exhibits is *so vile and insidious.* You do not mess with someone’s medication. You don’t deny them it, and you don’t trick them into taking more than prescribed. You do not restrain someone in a mental health crisis, especially not in a way that is *actively harming them.* Traumatic events and sudden illnesses/injuries can put a strain on a relationship, but that does not excuse Leeds’s behavior in the slightest. He showed no compassion or empathy for Layla. He was sad because she wasn’t making *him* feel good. And then he used her vulnerability for his own benefit and only showed this performative remorse. Sorry that someone with a TBI and lingering trauma can’t be your quirky, upbeat, down for whatever gf anymore. Sorry her disability is bumming you out. That must be so hard for you. You’re obviously the victim here. 🙄 I haven’t gotten to what the twist is and frankly, I don’t care what excuse he makes. He is a disgusting, self-serving, manipulative piece of crap, and he deserves to rot for what he did to this woman he ‘loves’. For a majority of this book, he only cares for Layla inasmuch as she provides him access to Willow, and he would willfully harm her and violate her autonomy again and again to keep that access. I hate him I hate him I hate him.

Once you realize the world isn’t just a place is full of bad stuff in mean people and hate but it’s actually a good place full of love and life in a mix of chaos and harmony it’s a lot easier to actually understand how much love there is in the world so you can actually give it back.
