“Naked truths aren’t always pretty.”

It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover

January 21, 2023 by Nart 2 Comments

A book that has been very, very incorrectly filed under romance. Plot: Lily grew up in a violent household, but now she’s out in the world as a young adult, trying to create a life that is her own, and as different from her youth as possible. By chance she meets a good looking doctor in training and despite his initial aversion to relationships, is suddenly all in. Then there’s her first love, a boy who had escaped an abusive household himself, to live on […]

What is the truth? **SPOILERS**

Verity by Colleen Hoover

December 16, 2022 by donttrustthe_bea 5 Comments

  This was my first time, and probably last time, reading a Colleen Hoover book. I picked it up since so many people were raving about it, saying that Hoover’s psychological thrillers are much better than her normal fare. Well, I have thoughts about this book and…yeah, they’re mostly negative. This post will have spoilers, don’t read further if you are looking to read this book. Our protagonist is Lowen, a thirty-something single author who just recently lost her mother after a long batter with […]

How do you judge the virtues of a book?

Verity by Colleen Hoover

It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover

December 11, 2022 by booktrovert Leave a Comment

This book brings to mind the concept of “trash relativism” – the idea that while some books have greater literary merit (better writing, depth of themes, strong character development, etc) not everyone reads books for those literary reasons. A lot of people read just to escape, or share in a minor distraction with mild entertainment, and the quality of the writing just isn’t that important. And those are really valuable reasons to read a book. It feels relevant to bring this up in a discussion […]

Holy crap. This was not good.

Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover

November 26, 2022 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

This book was recommended to me by nobody. My BFF did recommend Colleen Hoover, but I think this may be one of her earlier books. Holy crap I did not like it. First of all, I listened to the audiobook, and the male narrator (Deacon Lee) had a voice or manner of speaking that kinda made my skin crawl? I’m not sure exactly what it was, but I did not like when he talked. Unfortunately, he talked for about half of the book. Which I […]

But Do We Know Anyone, Really?

Verity by Colleen Hoover

October 26, 2022 by Jake 3 Comments

Read this as part of CBR14 Bingo: hot. Colleen Hoover is the hottest writer out there right now. (Zoolander movie voice) That Colleen Hoover is so hot right now. Seriously, I keep hearing her name in book circles (is that the same Colleen who writes historical fiction? No that’s McCullough), seeing her books literally EVERYWHERE (this one I kept getting confused with the popular and similarly titled YA historical thriller “Code Name Verity”) and getting recs from my friends to a random sex worker whose […]

Wild Ride

Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover

February 4, 2022 by Claudia 2 Comments

Y’all this was wild. It felt like getting wine drunk and watching a lifetime movie and you have to yell at the tv. Was it entertaining? Yes. Was it entertaining to me the way I think the creator intended? Ummm…….. So in Ugly Love we have a story in two parts. The first part follows Tate, a woman who moves in with her pilot brother and gets involved in a sexual relationship with the man next door. The man, Myles, tells her he can’t and […]
