So… re: the “interesting point” at 19:54 - there is a whole genre of fanfic which features this as a trope and while she did not invent this idea frankly Ali Hazelwood’s bravery to bring this to the mainstream romance girlies is, well, an audacious move.

6:48 Bonus points for Keffiyeh 🇵🇸 🍉

The Reylo Girlies are truly on to something.

This was so good! I read both books and it was so fun to see your thoughts! I loved bride so much but I was a bit scared to talk about it in my February wrap up because of the smut that I shamefully ate up 😂

[@thisstoryaintover]

No shame!! Smut is awesome 😎

[@Vivsbooks]

@@thisstoryaintover You are so right! 🤗

[@ramshamemon9684]

I loved Bride and yes, I also really really want a second book or novella about those two characters at the end. I would read Ms. Hazelwood's grocery list at this point but this would be perfect right about now.

[@ChemicalPenguinn]

The Ali Hazelwood hype is truly something.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Jananie really said: “It’s the start…of something new.”

[@badfaith4u]

Bride by Ali Hazelwood is my TBR list and am hoping to buy it this week. I've read The Ex Hex and its sequel. They are a fun read.

[@Delalola]

I devoured this book so fast, and loved it!

[@unavezms8167]

I really wish to know what Misery's parents were thinkling.

[@gracetoppert245]

I am obsessed with Bride. It was so good.

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Oo I’ve had the ex hex on my TBR forever as well

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Idk if you’ve read it but I recommend ‘The Note’ and ‘The Postcard’ by Zoë Folbigg. It’s loosely based on the author’s life.

[@brookessss]

Ali Hazelwood is kinda hit or miss for me but I loved Bride!! I was giggling and kicking my feet the whole time. I feel the same on Ex Hex. Did what it set out to do and I enjoyed it but nothing really special about it.

[@ravent3016]

Thanks for the amusing video and reviews. I have both on my TBR, and own both books, so now I want to move them up in the queue. I didn't know much about Bride, so to find out it is a slooow burn and more romantasy with world building over romance with a splash of fantasy elements is a good thing in my book. SO I have some anticipation going thanks to you.

[@MariannaD934]

Omg you are so beautiful and well spoken!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

12:22 Reminded me of ‘Good Luck Chuck’ atleast on a premise level.

[@ssd1453]

Watching this makes me wanna read Bride!

[@chocolateoreo6489]

I love hearing your bookish thoughts (:

[@chocolateoreo6489]

I’m sending you love (: I adore you videos! I hope you know how much of an icon you are❤❤❤
