[@CarmenGilFraguada]

Hi friends!! Name a book you absolutely hated in 2023! I’ll go first, Secretly Yours 🙃🔪

[@AelinGalathynius96]

Magnolia Parks 🤢 and love & other words

[@jessbaldwin]

They both die at the end & red white and royal blue xx

[@CarmenGilFraguada]

I strongly disliked love & other words 😭

[@CarmenGilFraguada]

I thought I was going to be alone hating red white and royal blue 😭😂

[@jessbaldwin]

definitely not alone. Agree with you too much politics. @@CarmenGilFraguada

I only have 2 more hours in the daisy darker audiobook and I’m loving it the family drama feels like Agatha Christie and then there were none

[@CarmenGilFraguada]

Daisy Darker is one of my all time faves!! So good! ❤️

[@user-pk4gy9ic6c]

There’s a lot of good hot takes in this video my favorite is the dislike on addicted series @@CarmenGilFraguada

[@carelesskitten9475]

3:30 I agree with you on Tessa Bailey . She is a one hit wonder author for me. It happened one summer was also one of my 5 star faves but everything else after that just sucks so hard that I gave all my copies from her away to those little free libraries I have around town so I’m all like “ here you go ppl I had to suffer from her shit books so now you do too” 😂…ALSO! If he had been with me was ALSO one of my let downs too so I felt like I was the only one who hated it thank god you do too..like how the main character who so fucking childish like girl you’re 18 take off the fucking fairy princess tiara 😂

[@CarmenGilFraguada]

LMAO you had me smiling with Tessa Bailey & the free libraries, but that last line took me out 😭😂 why was she so immature 😭😭

[@carelesskitten9475]

@@CarmenGilFraguada i literally thought she was like 12 or 13. Imagine my shock and confusion when I found out she was an ADULT! 🤣🤣🤣

[@SmilingClover-iv7vh]

my favorite book is if he had been with me i literally am so sad rn 😭😭😭

[@squidwardtentacles7144]

Totally agree with "If He Had Been With Me". I read it last year and I think I gave it 3 stars. Did not like it. And don't bother with the Addicted series. I stopped at book four and I will never touch that series again.

[@CarmenGilFraguada]

2 books/series that are severely overhyped 😭😭

[@Simplyjalaya]

Omg! I’m glad I’m not the only one that didn’t like every summer after! I dnf that book. It made me realized I hate books that jump back in forth in time.

[@CarmenGilFraguada]

Same!! I’m not a fan of alternating timelines, just stay in the present please 😭

[@purrgoing]

YES FINALLY SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T LIKE IF HE HAD BEEN WITH ME! I am strongly against that book because the writing style wasn't good enough for me to connect to the characters and Autumn was SO immature for someone in high school. I felt like I was the only who hates that book so I'm glad to see some people agree with me!

[@ashdesu__]

SAMEE

[@maryross4488]

I absolutely agree with you on laura nowlins book. Was so boring and childish for me and slow. The other book was never never. My daughter gave it to me to read. I haven't yet but am hesitant Good vlog Carmen ❤

[@CarmenGilFraguada]

Ugh yes, I don’t get the hype with Laura’s book 😭 Even though I didn’t enjoy Never Never, I hope you do!! ❤️

[@angelachatman1969]

I completely agree with red, white and royal blue. The movie was super cute though!! I was totally disappointed with Bunny

[@CarmenGilFraguada]

Yes! I think they did a great job with the movie, but the book was meh lol

[@ashdesu__]

If he had been with me was really bad, 1,5 stars max

[@anjelgordon3497]

Hope you don't start magnolia parks because that book is toxic I heard

[@CarmenGilFraguada]

I’ve heard that too, it’s one of the reasons I haven’t started it 😫

[@mnqlv]

I completely agree with you about "Secretly Yours"! I couldnt quite figure out what bothered me about it but you said it so well. It was hard to finish, I just didn't care enough about either main character and the female main character was VERY immature.

[@CarmenGilFraguada]

Omg yes!! I kept seeing people rave about this book & I was confused on how they didn’t find her character annoying 🙃😭😂
