Your editing style makes me feel like I'm on a acid trip, it's amazing.

i luv that i hope i give u flashbacks

we were liars being a tiktok book is so funny because it rocked my world when i was 13

thank u 😌 and ughghhh u are so u for that and that makes us so we

[@niyasiya3025]

I am inserting myself to agree on all dimensions. Thank you😂

[@Toocoolforyhu]

1) you're hilarious 2) you remind me of male emma chamberlain 3) great style 4) dying at the sally rooney mcu analogy. I think it's comparable to life in big cities vs suburban/rural areas. The way you described her universe is exactly my experience living in new york and dublin

[@shawnmccomb]

omg thank you so much 😸

[@lyna7038]

I am a romance girl never read or even thought of picking up a book that wasn't a romcom but I am still gonna watch this even though I know I ll feel attacked

[@mat5957]

it's funny because i was 15 when i read we were liars and i loved it 😭

[@shawnmccomb]

LMAO

[@chilichicken0959]

In some wicked way I find it, eye opening? Learning? A way for me to look into normal peoples minds? by reading popular books that I have absolutely no interest in. Like I don’t give a crap about some stupid romance but I’m going to read it so maybe I can understand other people a bit more yk? I feel isolated enough, but these books are like looking at another species and learning how their minds work. This sound insane. What did i just write. Edit: 10:50 it’s midnight and I literally spat trying not to laugh and wake everyone up

This is the second video of yours that I have watched and I can confidently say that you are the best booktuber I have come across. Believe me when I say that I have watched many booktubers, but no one does it like you, so for that, I thank and applaud you.

So pleased to know the cloister of lesions on your face have healed. Also here for your Sally Rooney journey 🙏

[@shawnmccomb]

i kind of miss them...

[@tianalilly9402]

This is becoming my favorite book channel!!! I also thought Normal People was so good as a show but awful as a book. Reading about them was unbearable. I think most tiktok books are written to be good as shows/movies but poor books.The authors just give up on any meaningful literary elements and character development to make a generically good plot.

[@Belzza-B]

Easily the greatest summary I’ve heard for It Ends With Us.

[@mellorine893]

the description of end with us was hilarious, the editing is top notch. that's it I'm subscribing!

[@esthersucksatlife]

I actually really enjoyed we were liars and it somehow got me back into reading however I also see where people are coming from who did not like it

[@lauradone9232]

I read and watched normal people at the same time. Really elevated it for me. Conversations with friends (show) i found completely insufferable 😬 put me off buying the book.

Elizabeth Strout is excellent. All of those people in the blurb are previous characters. I hope you like it. Jealous you got a copy already.

[@fennariley8331]

I can agree with you on the not having read much romance. Like the two actual romace books Ive read both partially revolve around....deadly diseases. So like. I think that shows some stuff about me lol.

[@shawnmccomb]

yes there needs to be some other element such as a deadly disease… like a cheeky little romance on the side can be fun
