[@ahhhh2430]

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again her books when you look at it from a writers perspective, she has good writing techniques. It’s just again the men in all of her books are toxic. If someone can understand the fact that the men are toxic, then it shouldn’t matter whether there a teenager, an adult or a three year-old. I actually enjoy Hoover’s books for this reason( She teaches what toxic relationships can look like. It may not be the best kind of teaching, but she does teach it). As well, when you look at this generation of teenage girls, they’re not as naïve as some of the past generations, statistically, this generation is the lesser naïve out of all of them. You’ll have to understand I’m not just teenage girls read them a few teenage boys and adults also read her books. Again, statistically most of Colleen Hoover books actually end up going to adult females.- just to restate that I don’t disagree with you at all but knowing the things that I know and doing the research that I’ve done her books aren’t that bad for teaching what toxic relationships can look like if you want to know what toxic relationships can look like.

He did not ruin her career, she said herself that she found out later in life that she preferred TEACHING acting over the actual acting and it made her happy. And he didn’t cheat on her, not much of an excuse but: she gave him the idea that she didn’t want him anymore, he wasn’t mature enough in the moment to realize that she was leaving for his own good at the time, in his eyes, she “broke up” with him, when it was all miscommunication.

remember that one book where miss Hoover feeds into teen delusion by making a NEUROSURGEON beg on his knees to be with lil miss quirky name😭✋ As a med student who's been around surgeons (even handsome ones) that HURT my soul cuz you don't know the kind of pride neurosurgeons have istg😭😭😭

I cant get past like the fifth chapter of it ends with us, i dont know what it is i just CANT. Does anyone have good book recs? Idk i feel like i wasted time and money

[@ferociousmaliciousghost]

​@@becausewhynot212 The Earthsea series is pretty nice. If you want something a bit unusual, then maybe The Second Coming of Gluttony could fit. I will warn you that it's a Korean novel. So, if you've never read translated novels, then be prepared for ideas and concepts that aren't in your native country.

I have personally never read this book but I read It ends with us because opinions were so controversial. I hated it. I removed every Colleen Hoover book from my reading list. The way she portrays characters in her book and assumes that specific type of behaviour is ok when it isn’t is absolutely disgusting. I think that she shouldn’t promote this kind of stuff. I also was told that her son sexually assaulted someone but she hid it and now supports sexual assault but I’m not sure about that part.

That's so true 😂😂😂 Few days back i cried so hard about a fan fic on ao3. Whereas while i was reading her books, omg i read with straight face and threw that book twice. PS - was reading " it ends with us"

I read this when it was released. I remember liking it and thinking about it after i finished it - i was young and naive. Rereading it now that I have better understanding and definitely more matured that I wa before, I can't even continue after a few chapters

You have yet to read the one about the High School STUDENT falling for her TEACHER.

[@Carter9552]

As a classic reader, this book was 😭😭 I don't wanna say anything. Just i will never touch any of her books. The kite runner, A thousand splendid suns, i fell in love with hope, Tuesday with Morrie, 40 rules of love, on earth we're briefly gorgeous, and classics of Jane Austen, Virginia Woolf, Emily Dickinson, Oscar Wilde, Shakespeare wins 😭

[@Quincysacc]

Any Colleen Hoover book is a bad book. The female characters will go through sm abuse and still fall madly in love with the men in their lives. Like as soon as a mf purposefully pushes me down a flight of stairs causing me to bleed and pass out. I’m dipping

[@sudhathakur798]

The only coho book I liked was 'Verity' because of the suspense it contained. The others are just a huge no for me, especially it ends with us blahhhh

[@RiverieEssence]

Facts, tbh I don't even know why people love her books😭I read a book of hers once(it ends with us) and HE LITERALLY BROKE HER PROMISE(they promised each other to not have intercourse until she's comfy and ready) AND R*PED HER, and even then she forgave him and stayed married with him.
