seeing the title of this video and knowing we're about to hear another rave review of it happened one summer - we stan a consistent queen lol
Just discovered you in goodreads and immediatly looked you up in youtube and am already a FAN. Better than that, I TRUST YOU Chandler. Thanks for all the effort you put in your videos and reviews
thank you!!
I’ve read 5 Tessa Bailey books this year based on your recommendation and she has quickly become one of my favorite authors. Plus her tiktoks are hilarious 🤣
just what i need for this trash dayyyy
Same!!
Ok now I’m curious. What IS the worst book you’ve ever read 👀
I’m a simple girl. I see Chanmas, I click.
You ain't never lied 😁
I swear everytime I want to buy a book I check your opinion. Love your channel and how you talk about books so much!
thank you!!
hi chandler! im from india, and that is something that CAN happen here :( i want to read the book and judge for myself if it was handled poorly but i understand if that aspect didn't work for you !
I would love some witchy romcom recs!?
I agree with you 100% on tryst six venom! I couldn't even finish it
One of two 🍩-related books?! Lol 😂
I can’t believe I’ve watched like all your videos and still not read it happened one summer lmao
I’m glad you enjoyed The Donut Trap! I feel like it was a good coming-of-age story for your 20s, and I hope more people pick it up!
kinda random but can you do an everyday jewellery collection? love the necklaces you have on! x
Now I need to see the 2022 list 🏃♀️
you introduced to olivia waite's sapphic romances and it got me back into romance again! i got into a slump picking up all those general fiction romances that my bookstore pushes to me, yknow the typical graphic illustration with bright colours and too cheesy writing! im a person of cheese and yet, i found it too corny and had not fun.
When I tell you I clicked SO FAST!
I watched every Chanmas and I don’t even read romance books 💀❤️
There were a lot of 2021 romances about donuts huh
I haven't yet read Love Chai.... however, lemme put in a bit of context as an immigrant. Many countries are like that. Old school parents who want you to marry within your culture, tribes etc. Even in India, you could get disowned for marrying someone out of your caste. Yes, it's a thing. Maybe that's why the protagonist (who was probably raised in that culture and was only here for school) didn't really really quarrel with her parents over this decision. 🤔
i have a v similar background as the heroine in that book and such families are heavily looked down upon in india. siblings and other family members will also look down/frown upon such archaic behavior. so it is not the norm at all and not taking issue with your parents for that is shitty and again not something that is common or looked upon as "it is what it is". It is def not what it is and no one needs to be reading about that i would have DNFed as well
@@ninjaturtles12121
I'm sure they are looked down upon. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen though. I never said it's the norm. Just trying to put context there that it's a thing that happens you know....
@@MsHenrei but that's my point that it is not common, it's something that happens in the extreme fringes of the society. And was so unnecessary for any plot development of that book and if anything paints the protagonist in a bad light and makes her unlikable for putting up with that behavior when in reality that wouldn't have been the case irrespective of the parents' choices.
Anyone have additional witchy romance recommendations? 🖤
aaaaayyyye YO 🥰🙌🏼
My problem is finding romances that feel REAL, where the people actually act in realistic ways, have normal lives.
I love Tessa Bailey and loved It Happened One Summer. except for the baby girl book. You helped me not to read that so I appreciate you ! lol
Nice video, these books sound interesting (for better or for worse)
i feel like i’m the only person who hasn’t read it happened one summer, people who meet on vacation, the love hypothesis & the spanish love deception. they seem fruity & boring😅
please please please read it happened one summer and the love hypothesis! i was also apprehensive but boy oh boy did i love them so freaking much!
LOL it depends what you're looking for. i like a book that makes me laugh but can also be sexy. it happened one summer and people we meet on vacation fit the bill for me
i read love hypothesis and it is incredibly overrated. but an easy read when you just want to turn your mind off. forgetful after but in the moment its a v good distraction.
Also have you ever read kiss the sky by krista Richie? It’s one of the few established relationship books I’ve truly enjoyed 👌👌
i have! i've read most of the books in that series :)
Eve Brown wasn’t on your list??
i know!!! it slipped my mind when i made this list originally
I only made it three chapters into The Ex Hex...
I finished it and it only got worse. 😅
@@mle2271 🤣
also am I the only one who thinks in neon gods the romanization of eating disorders is just subtly passed by, I really hope I'm not the only one who noticed this
Do you count DNF's towards your total books read?
no!
I audiobooked The Ex Hex on RUclips. RUclips DNFed it for me by taking it down. Thank you YT! Haha
