    I felt the same way about a little life. I felt desensitised to the crazy stuff happening and didnt give a 💩 by the end. Theres a great vid called "euth anasia fanfiction" by owl criticism which goes deeper into it and it helped me put into words what i didnt like about it

      oooh thanks so much for the video rec, I will def check it out! sometimes I find it harder to describe why I didn't like books compared to books I do, so many that will also help me articulate why I wasn't a fan!

    Great to hear your thoughts! How I love The Secret History - what a great book! I'm hoping to re-read it soon, because I loved it when I read it a few years ago 😃

      Personally I really recommend the ‘Once upon a broken heart’ series. I got out of a 5 year reading slump until I read this book which was unexpected for me. I think it’s easy to read and get lost in. Hopefully you enjoy it if you do choose to read it!

      @ADumbpigeon 7 месяцев назад +1

      I’ve read both the cruel prince series and the shatter me series. The cruel prince is very good, but the first book can be kinda boring. Everyone says it’s a romance but it’s actually a political fantasy. Shatter me is great, it has a really good romance subplot! But restore me and unravel me were a bit hard to get through cuz they were boring.

    The Secret History is my favorite book of this year (possibly ever) and I don't think any book can top it. It's changed me and how I view writing. I'm currently another book by Donna Tartt, just because I miss her writing

    i liked the love hypotesis haha but i didn't take it seriously, it's a silly story and it made me cringe A LOT. MYORAR was one of my favourites books of the last year, it has something special and i think that not everybody realizes that the main character is insufferable on purpose, because that's the point
    btw sorry for my english :)

    • @katerinareem
      @katerinareem  5 месяцев назад +1

      ahhh so glad you loved MYORAR too - I agree that you just have to know the character is written like that ironically and it becomes so much more enjoyable (and don't apologise your english is fantastic!)

      @@katerinareem I think MYORAR is just for a specific taste but it's got good writing. I think The Cruel Prince would have been good if I had been younger and less read, but for a 20 something year old it's just not it imo
