At this point i feel like coho is getting unnecessary hate. Saw a reel on Instagram where people trolling coho for launching it ends with us hoodies. I agree the coloring book idea was wrong but i don't see the point to hate the merchs launched. Even non-consensual dark romance books have their own merchs and people have no problem with that. It ends with us is not only about the abuse, its also about lily deciding to put an end to the abuse and move on. Hating has become a trend. I feel like people hate on others just to look cool. Grow up for heaven sake.
I'm reading November 9 right now and I'm sorry but what is the difference between Ryle and Ben??
Ben is just Ryle with a different name..
Jae was probably close to the last person who should be asked this question, especially given the fact he knew next to nothing about American history aside from the little bit taught when he'd gone to high school here ( but that really wasn't saying much, was it? ). But he felt like he knew enough to be overly certain of two facts. ❝ Isn't Jackie O synonymous with a blue dress and pearls? ❞ He listed off first before pointing out what he felt like was the even more obvious tidbit. ❝ And unless it's got something to do with the day Jacky boy got popped, wouldn't it be a bit tasteless to go with pink? But, maybe that's just me. I'm far from an expert. ❞

“No okay, but honestly.” She held up the two options she had found after having turned around and managed to get the other persons attention. “Which one should I go for? Like which one screams Jackie Kennedy? I need a dress for a scene we are shooting tomorrow and my dumb ass forgot I had offered to get it, and of course the one I had in mind isn’t available anymore.”
Usually I end up finishing every book I start, even the shitty ones(twilight, hp: cursed child). There's always something that sort of has you thinking "Ok this is pretty bad but I kinda wanna know what actually happens next". Even if the plot is bad, there's at least a plot. With Verity by coho I couldn't make it past when Lowen tried to bite the headboard while fantasizing about Jeremy.
My thoughts on Colleen Hoover:
okay hear me out: colleen hoover is for the people who skipped their fan fiction phase.
Hi just a warning this contains spoilers for colleen hoover books and English isn't my first language so I apologise for any mistakes. These are just me sharing my thoughts feel free to disagree just please don't be mean about it.
So I read a few of her books because I love torturing myself and just wanted to feel something (also my cousin was obsessed with her) and honestly I don't regret it because now I have valid reason shit on it.
Just fyi I'm a teenage girl in high school so I'm definitely in her target audience, and here's what I've gathered:
None of her main characters really have a personality. they feel more like shells that the reader can self insert themselves into. The books aren't really about two people getting to know each other and falling in love it feels more as a bunch of tropes and generic scenarios thrown together. I think this is one of the reason booktok girlies act with Colleen Hoover the way I did when I found out fanfics exists.
It also just reads like fanfiction? like because there's not much to dwell on and they're so easy to digest you can finish them in just a few hours. plus the main characters just feels like y/n: a shell to self insert yourself into, dead/abusive father, just normal girl who finds herself in these situations etc.
Here's the thing about fan fiction though: the reason why it's so fun to read is because you already know the people/characters in it so you can get right into the scenarios and imagines because they don't really need any background or development.
But the difference is when you write these books you have to develop these characters and introduce them to the readers otherwise I'm just like "I don't even know these people so why the fuck would I care?"
Comparing her to fanfic is honestly an insult to fanfic writers because at least they have the decency to tag their posts properly (calling the abuse, abuse dark themes, dark themes etc) plus they're just so much better.
Colleen Hoover fans will say that she brings up difficult topics in her books in order to defend her but here's the thing: writing about difficult topics doesn't exactly exempt you from criticism + she doesn't even write about them?? they just feel like lazy add ons to spice up the story and add some drama. if you're gonna write about difficult topics you need to discuss and write them properly not just use them to further the plot.
I don't like any of the love interests either. 99% of them are just abusive, piece of shit bland boiled chicken ass people with the unsexiest names I've ever heard of.
Also a lot of these have very much women hating women undertones? I feel like it's the author's misogyny being reflected in her books (extra heart breaking coming from a woman herself). It's very much "you're not like the other girls you're different" kinda themes.
I thought maybe people just enjoyed it because of the smut but the smut is SO BAD oh my god I wanted to kms.
My thoughts are a little all over the place right now (they always are) but maybe i'll update if I remember any more points
thank you so much for reading mwah <33
