Like people try to get me to read her books all the time and I'm like yall it's not that good
I'm sure it alright bur I'm not spending 15 dollars for something that should be on wattpad
No it's not alright. It's not alight at all, at best it's mediocre and at worst it's downright harmful.
I've read two of her books and I could film a 2hr podcast episode picking apart everything I hated about them.
Like she just writes some of the most outrageous things I've ever heard of and sometimes I feel like her books were written by 12 year old and not a whole grown ass woman. My biggest point of contention is with It ends with us, which is as I believe she said supposed to be a victorious story about overcoming abuse... and sure the main character does leave an abusive relationship. But first she gets graphically abused, assaulted, beaten, manipulated, coerced, babytrapped, and probably more I'm forgetting. The thing is, abuse is so complex. There are so many layers of manipulation and guilt that explain why people stay in abusive relationships. In Colleen's books, that shit is offensively dumbed down and boils down to "I just loved him I couldn't leave", therefore reducing the MC to absolute cretin and making the reader constantly question "WHY are you staying are you stupid??". Because you aren't properly convinced of why she wants to stay, what is this connection and why is it so hard to leave. And that is so harmful, bc people always blame the abuse victim for not leaving earlier anyways!! And you're literally forcing the reader to react like that because your MC is shown to be extremely stupid bc none of the reasons about why she chooses to stay are explored in depth!!! She never convinces you why the MC wanted to stay and you literally can't help but ask yourself what is this stupid bitch doing her man literally PUSHED HER DOWN A FLIGHT OF STAIRS.
There's nothing meaningful in the way she portrays abuse and for that reason I'd argue that book even does more harm than good. That is why I hate her so fucking much 😭 And on top of that, the writing just sucks. Like it sucks ass.
Plus, that's the rundown of just one of her books. In another book the parents of a child comment on their baby's penis and ball size 💀 That's Colleen Hoover for ya.
I'm sorry for the rant but I HATE HER SO PASSIONATELY!!! If there was a license for writing I would pay to have hers revoked...
#also i pirated all her books so no money went to her#and only read them so i could have a thorough list of reasons as to why she sucks#i was sooo fucking tired of watching teenage girls fawn over that shit around me#its so harmful#i swear#also not to be rude to the ppl around you who recommend her books but dont trust them lmaooo#dont.#unless youre fine with paying for wattpad fanfictions that are labeled as novels#in that case sure
