It’s actually an incredible book. HIGHLY recommend reading it before believing the critics. The relationship between the two women is super romantic and the book offers many pieces of wisdom/insight into female sexuality, sexism, racism, bi-phobia and abortions, just to name a few
@Talitha Warren She's an annoying het woman, what do you expect, the fact that the "twist" annoyed her says it all, thank god i have blocktube so this person doesn't ever appear in my feed ever again
@@Suprachiasmatic she showed his daughter a letter where he said how much he loved her, plus he had been dead for DECADES by then. I don’t see the problem
@@katitax508 well good for you then. I, however, do. Our desires for autonomy don’t end just because we’ve died. Some people want their secrets to die with them and that’s not for anybody to judge. Evelyn took it upon herself to out this dude to his daughter to suit her own agenda, and not only that but now Monique has to live with that secret or out her dad herself and potentially devastate her mom. All for selfish purposes. I see many problems with it.
I felt the same way about Evelyn Hugo, but for me, it was how she handled most things in her life that bothered me. Personally, she seemed so unfeeling to other people around her, and I only got about halfway into the story before DNFing it.
i am sorry but what evelyn did to harrys boyfriend is horrible regardless of skin color. why in earth would him being a POC have held her up from doing it if any other reason couldn’t either?
wow. you addressed something about "The Seven Husbands" that i just completely missed. that ~twist ending~ definitely wasn't great and there was a lot of telling instead of showing going on. i wasn't completely blown away by the book, but i felt like i had to rate it high because everyone RAVED about it. in the end, it was only just okay. tbh, it's a good thing you peaced out of TJR's works there because if you want to talk about a disappointing read, then "Daisy Jones" def takes the cake for me. it's been on so many people's Best of the Year lists and i'm like "???? did we read the same book orrr??". it was just okay. it wasn't mind-blowing or life-changing. it just... exists? idk. sorry about the comment wall, btw. lol
I totally agree about Daisy Jones not really being anything special. It's basically just a stereotypical "sex, drugs, and rock & roll" story. Which I can enjoy, but absolutely nothing about it struck me as being particularly new or exciting.
I love seven husbands but i just can't feel a good connection with the book and why i just don't like the daisy and i think i just can't get married people cheating i just keep feeling bad for camilla , also i think after loving seven husbands n just get my expectation too high
Ugh totally agree on Evelyn Hugo and the spoon fed writing. It all felt so theatrical and contrived, like that’s not how I like my books. In 2020 I’m sooooo looking forward to Blood and Honey, the second book after Serpent and Dove, that was such a good book!!
Thank you for being the only person I’ve seen who didn’t love Evelyn Hugo either, I felt like I was going crazy not feeling the love like everyone else 😅
I've heard SO MUCH about The Seven Husbands and how much people raved about it, I was surprised to see that on your list! But after hearing your points, I definitely understand where you're coming from. Especially with the plot twist, o o f. I am honestly stoked for Liar by Fiona Cole and Credence by Penelope Douglas for this year. I REALLY hope they live up to the hype. :)
I haven’t read Seven Husbands but I wasn’t thrilled with Daisy Jones. When I first read it I think I was enjoying it because the hype around it and then when I put it down and later came back to it I was underwhelmed and found everyone unlikeable but one person so I DNF’d it!
I love your shelves because if I didn't know you I'd think you were gonna talk about A Tale of Two Cities or Grapes of Wrath or some shit but then you come out with the steamy reads
Their talents are actually relevant in Muse of Nightmares. I like my romance light so I was there for the world-building. If you really liked the DoSaB trilogy then maybe read a sneak peek of Muse of Nightmares to see if you would like the rest. It's very character-driven in MoN (I cried at one point, but I might be in the minority on that since it's not for any character that you've met yet) so it's cool to see her explore trauma since it really is reminiscent of WWII type themes but I'm a history nerd so that that as you will. Some weren't a fan of the ending but I love the fairytale like atmosphere so I don't really care.
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo was literally the best book I've ever read. It dealt with so many important issues which alot of people clearly don't understand. I absolutely love this story and it really is the best thing I've ever read.
If it helps, Muse of Nightmares has a lot more plot than Strange so you might like it more. I also wasn't hugely keen on Evelyn Hugo but I did like Daisy Jones
Thank you for what you said about Evelyn Hugo; honestly, the reveal soured the whole book for me. I also felt like Jenkins completely forgot about Hugo's latina heritage by the end and only focused on her support for LGTBQA+ organizations (which is awesome but then why couldn't she also support Cuban/latinx organizations, too?)
i'm back for strange the dreamer i wasn't expecting the problem of weep to be solved in this one because i knew there was a second book and i figure that's where the solution will happen. i also absolutely adore lazlo x sarai. i thought their romance served as a romeo/juliet dynamic where the conflict and hatred between godspawn & the humans could have been resolved through love but then tragedy struck. strange the dreamer seemed to be more of a set up & examination of the faults of both sides of the war & the hatred that is spurred from war/tragedy and i thought it was highlighted through lazlo/sarai's relationship which made me all the more invested
I felt exactly the same way about the best thing. I've adored everything that Mariana Zapata has written but actually couldn't finish the book, which was hugely disappointing. It just lacked.... Something. I didn't feel like there was much chemistry between the characters, but that might have just been me. Anyway, hopefully her next one is amazing again 😊
Wow, white woman here... I have read three of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s books (something unremarkable, Daisy Jones and Evelyn Hugo). I didn’t like DJ at all, I thought it was problematic but I loved Evelyn Hugo but felt uneasy and I wasn’t sure why but you are absolutely right. I still don’t think it’s a terrible book but yeah it’s problematic too which is why I had that general uneasiness.
I’m new to your channel, but hearing you talk about TJR spoonfeeding feelings and how you don’t like that is something I’ve noticed recently in other books I’ve read that I don’t like, so thank you for that! I’m also a person that wants “facts” laid out for me to come to my own conclusions, and I don’t like obvious “and this is bad/good/etc” summaries after the facts. 🤷🏻♀️😅
I could not finish The Kiss Quotient in 2019 and I couldn’t figure it out because I usually love romances suggested by booktubers. I think I don’t like fluffy light hearted romance, but I’m really not sure. I found the book kind of icky and cringy and couldn’t finish it. I think I’m more into angsty, dark, and forbidden romance.
You’re the first person I know who didn’t like seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo 😱😱😱. But I truly respect your point of view . I truly loved the book and still can’t get over it .
Oh wow I'm glad I watched this, in my hunt to read all the wlw books I can get my hands on I had The Seven Husbands on my list but I'm already burnt out with disappointing writing (and mishandling of POC)
I've been wanting to read LJ Shen... but I get what you're saying... I dont wanna fall in love with characters who become shitty parents in another series 😭
They didn't become shitty parents. Only one and she realized her mistakes. The rest were the best parents ever, their kids had their issues but they loved them and their kids loved them too. If you read it, you won't regret it.
i had high hopes for the best thing as well. i really enjoyed mariana zapatas past books, but this one frustrated me to no end. ANYWAYS, great video love seeing your opinions on some of the other books i read this year.
I’m with you on the secret child trope not a fan. I really enjoyed the King Maker trilogy the last installment didn’t have audio but I couldn’t wait. I’ll go back and get it when/ if they produce one ad I really enjoyed the audio books for the first two in the series. Your background is stunning and I aspire for my book cases to look so thoughtfully acquired. Instead they look slightly hoarderish😏Happy New Year ❣️
I just finished Evelyn Hugo and it was so bad. The writing is pretty flat and to the point which isn’t my thing. But the biggest flaw for me was Evelyn. She’s so awful and I don’t feel anything for her accept hate. She’s selfish her whole life and never does anything that’s not in her interest. Also, Celia was selfish and immature to me as well. I just couldn’t connect to any of the characters or the plot. The only reason I finished it was because it was a easy and fast read. It was time wasted though. I don’t recommend
I completely agree about Mariana Zapata’s latest books. I really disliked the last three she put out, but I adored “From Lukov with Love” and most of her older books.
I did not read Pretty Reckless but I read Broken Knight which comes after this book. I did not read the OG series and I am glad I didn't. All parents are either shitty or seem to not care about the kids. How could LJ Shen do this after people apparently loved the OG couples?
I really hated Strange the Dreamer, like a 1 star kinda feeling. I couldn't get over the writing. IDK if that's a normal YA tactic now to write like that but if it is I'm glad in the YA I've read it's only been a little. I was super excited to being the age range a try and so I went with a popular high fantasy all my bookish friends loved and yet all I got was some bullcrap that another author could have maybe rendered into a 3 star read for me. I think Taylor should just write poetry and stop writing plots because that's all she seems to care about.
hahah i disagree with that quite a bit, but understand where you're coming from. i like the way she pulls from folk lore and fairytales, her writing is very whimsical. i just wanted MORE from it
Most disappointing for me was the WAY-overhyped Jasmine Guillory. Both the “Wedding Date” and “The Proposal” were just boring and kind of average apart from important representation of the different communities they showed in the book. The main heroines of both books I did not like AT ALL!
Agree with you about The best thing. I did not care about the characters. Why did she not tell him she was pregnant in the million emails she wrote him? Even if he never read those. She seemed to have dragged that out for ages until she finally wrote about the pregnancy. I skipped a bit chunk of the book and the end was a let down.
oh god Strange the Dreamer is one of my all time most disappointing reads. I really wanted to like it but I just couldnt. I kept waiting for it to grow on me but the farther in I got the more I realized that nothing was gonna happen outside of the super predictable/kinda boring. Honestly for me if they just cut Lazlo out entirely and just had the story be about Sarai and Eril Fane
My most disappointing read was The Queen of Nothing-the finale of the cruel prince. I was expecting a lot due to the hype but it was meh🌚🌚🌚 I felt like it was filler rather than final book. I hate to compare authors but I felt like Sarah J maas book Tower Of Dawn was much better though I hate the book.......so that says something.
I don't agree with your opinion on all saints high series. While Melissa wasn't a really good parent. The rest of the characters in the other books were and their kids loved them. I also loved pretty reckless. Love your videos btw
I thought that the Seven husbands of Evelyn hugo was a compelling story. As someone who isn't a literature snob, i enjoyed that emotional spoonfeeding and the entire plot and its characters were very interesting to follow. I agree that the writing was a little flat during moniques pov but overall evelyn hugo was a great character. You are supposed to hate her at time, feel angry at her and feel like she's too much. She herself says she isn't a good person. I know that you hate what evelyn did to monique but because henry was such a fleshed out character you cant help but sympathise with her. As a poc myself, not all of us are perfect or love each other. Thats such a weird idealistic view of the world. Either way you have to agree thats its a book that makes you feel something.
Feast of Sparks & Fix Her Up were also two of my most disappointing books this year. Another one that let me down was The Gay Girl's Guide to Ruining Prom by Siera Maley. I had really enjoyed the other f/f YA contemporaries I'd read from her, especially Taking Flight. But this book just didn't do anything for me unfortunately.
Can someone just give me the synopsis (7 husband's) I got bored halfway through, only thing I cared about was why she wanted the interviewer specifically. I got to I think the 3/4 husband so I just want the summary no review or opinion just what's the story?
Nevernight by Jay Kristoff was SO disappointing to me. I’m a Fantasy Bitch ™ and everyone was RAVING about that book and it’s so bad lol. The writing is like a teenage boy’s first attempt at poetry and the story is literally just the same shit as every other story about an assassin teen girl. Thank you, next!
Subscribed! Only because of 1 reason: Haven’t seen the video yet. But I just need to say it: I haven’t read more than a 100 pages of The seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo…. because I couldn’t continue, it was so flat and boring. And the cherry on top: Evilyn herself is quite an awful person. So I had to search for a video like this to get some sympathy from likeminded 😂 Everoyone else seem to love it 😳 And I’ll subscribe because you didn’t like this book either… I feel like I can get some great recommendations on this channel :) oh and of course; I like the way you describe books. 🥳

my mouth DROPPED when i saw the seven husbands of evelyn hugo 😭

@@rNeyshabur I loved the relationship between Evelyn and Celia. But when Evelyn outed Monique’s dad, a black man….. yeah, that isn’t okay.
@@Suprachiasmatic she showed his daughter a letter where he said how much he loved her, plus he had been dead for DECADES by then. I don’t see the problem

I feel like you’re the first person I’ve heard say something negative about Evelyn 😱
kayla doesn't like it either ;)
Jay G I cant stand it either lol
I dnf'd it because i couldn't muster a single fuck to give about any of the characters
Velvet Library sammmeee! omg it was so boring, and I was so sad because everyone hyped it so hard
Didn't like the book, too
I felt the same way about Evelyn Hugo, but for me, it was how she handled most things in her life that bothered me. Personally, she seemed so unfeeling to other people around her, and I only got about halfway into the story before DNFing it.
yeah, i started out enjoying her ambition but after a bit i got tired of her using everyone in her life
that and the interviewer was kinda one dimensional at least from what I remember it's been 6 months since I read it lol
You look like a character from a romance novel.
ugh pour one out for what feast of sparks could have been
hearing someone else not like seven husbands really fed my soul.
hahah honestly your goodreads updates feed MY soul so i'm glad i could do the same
itsmonteprice same
Boy same!!! I did not get the hype at all, I had to put so much effort in order to finish it.
the class in this setup is serving renaissance library excellence
LOVED hearing your thoughts on Seven Husbands. You made so many good points, that I really agree with looking back on that book.
Your dissapointment of Seven Husband's of Evelyn Hugo is the reason I subscribed.
i am sorry but what evelyn did to harrys boyfriend is horrible regardless of skin color. why in earth would him being a POC have held her up from doing it if any other reason couldn’t either?
I hated Evelyn Hugo so I’m glad I’m not alone even if you don’t fully hate it lol
wow. you addressed something about "The Seven Husbands" that i just completely missed. that ~twist ending~ definitely wasn't great and there was a lot of telling instead of showing going on. i wasn't completely blown away by the book, but i felt like i had to rate it high because everyone RAVED about it. in the end, it was only just okay. tbh, it's a good thing you peaced out of TJR's works there because if you want to talk about a disappointing read, then "Daisy Jones" def takes the cake for me. it's been on so many people's Best of the Year lists and i'm like "???? did we read the same book orrr??". it was just okay. it wasn't mind-blowing or life-changing. it just... exists? idk.

Absolutely agree about daisy jones

I love how fast you talk. I always speed up people.
Am I at a New Years party? Yes
Am I watching this? Yes
this is the first video I’m watching in 2020✨ happy new year
happy new year!!

I’m sooooo glad I’m not the only one who didn’t like Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. I agree with all your points. New subscriber here!!
Muse of Nightmares is a direct sequel for Strange the Dreamer, it explores Weep more and solves the mystery of what happened.
I've heard SO MUCH about The Seven Husbands and how much people raved about it, I was surprised to see that on your list! But after hearing your points, I definitely understand where you're coming from. Especially with the plot twist, o o f.

Ughhh yessss. The best thing - why keep a secret from the reader if you’re doing it from first person!?
AMEN
I’ve been binge watching your videos for hours now 😂 lol I need to go to bed 💤
I see Chandler is serving us the most perfect look for 2020...blessed✨

Honestly the vibe and premise of that Feast of Sparks book sounds so cool. It sounds almost cultish or something. Shame it's not executed better
this is completely unrelated but has someone ever told you how soothing your voice is?
ah thank you!!
I completely agree about Mariana Zapata’s latest books. I really disliked the last three she put out, but I adored “From Lukov with Love” and most of her older books.
I did not read Pretty Reckless but I read Broken Knight which comes after this book. I did not read the OG series and I am glad I didn't. All parents are either shitty or seem to not care about the kids. How could LJ Shen do this after people apparently loved the OG couples?
I read the OG series and I hated that she kinda made their kids as messed up as them.
I can’t believe The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is on your list . My mouth drop.
I agree with 4 out of your 6 picks (haven’t read the other two)
Yay we have similar tastes 🥰
I really hated Strange the Dreamer, like a 1 star kinda feeling. I couldn't get over the writing. IDK if that's a normal YA tactic now to write like that but if it is I'm glad in the YA I've read it's only been a little. I was super excited to being the age range a try and so I went with a popular high fantasy all my bookish friends loved and yet all I got was some bullcrap that another author could have maybe rendered into a 3 star read for me.

hahah i disagree with that quite a bit, but understand where you're coming from. i like the way she pulls from folk lore and fairytales, her writing is very whimsical. i just wanted MORE from it
I'm really excited about R.L Mathewson's books. I kinda got out of reading but her books are the only ones that I actively search out and just binge.
Most disappointing for me was the WAY-overhyped Jasmine Guillory. Both the “Wedding Date” and “The Proposal” were just boring and kind of average apart from important representation of the different communities they showed in the book. The main heroines of both books I did not like AT ALL!
oof i feel ya, i heard just so-so things about those so didn't pick them up myself. hopefully your romance picks for 2020 will treat you better
Completely agree! I mean the rep is good but the stories themselves are just basic. The Proposal was awful.
Happy New year!!!!🥳🥳
Agree with you about The best thing. I did not care about the characters. Why did she not tell him she was pregnant in the million emails she wrote him? Even if he never read those. She seemed to have dragged that out for ages until she finally wrote about the pregnancy. I skipped a bit chunk of the book and the end was a let down.
oh god Strange the Dreamer is one of my all time most disappointing reads. I really wanted to like it but I just couldnt.

I hate to compare authors but I felt like Sarah J maas book Tower Of Dawn was much better though I hate the book.......so that says something.
I feel like you really
Missed the point about Evelyn Hugo here.
i'm not sure why differing opinions is a reason to question someone's intelligence or interpretation of a book. glad you liked the book though.
Time to catch up on your channel🥴I’ve been neglecting booktube
Omg 7 husbands disappointed me so much. I found it so bland and shallow. I didn‘t get the hype at all
Same for Strange the Dreamer! Such a shame.
I don't agree with your opinion on all saints high series. While Melissa wasn't a really good parent. The rest of the characters in the other books were and their kids loved them. I also loved pretty reckless. Love your videos btw
I keep hearing bad things about Feast of Sparks.. I still feel like I'm going to read it. Idk maybe I'll be that .001% who likes it!
Uh "Everything leads to you" by Nina LaCour, I was so excited and it was so boring ...
I thought that the Seven husbands of Evelyn hugo was a compelling story. As someone who isn't a literature snob, i enjoyed that emotional spoonfeeding and the entire plot and its characters were very interesting to follow. I agree that the writing was a little flat during moniques pov but overall evelyn hugo was a great character. You are supposed to hate her at time, feel angry at her and feel like she's too much. She herself says she isn't a good person.
I know that you hate what evelyn did to monique but because henry was such a fleshed out character you cant help but sympathise with her. As a poc myself, not all of us are perfect or love each other. Thats such a weird idealistic view of the world.
Either way you have to agree thats its a book that makes you feel something.
Feast of Sparks & Fix Her Up were also two of my most disappointing books this year.
Another one that let me down was The Gay Girl's Guide to Ruining Prom by Siera Maley.
I had really enjoyed the other f/f YA contemporaries I'd read from her, especially Taking Flight. But this book just didn't do anything for me unfortunately.
What is the twist in Seven Husbands?
Hey chandler, I was just wondering on what platform you listen to/ find your audiobooks. Love your videos :)
thru my library/the libby app!
ahhhh so many of my favorites. I'm sorry they didn't fit for you.
My most disappointing were probably Ninth House and The Poppy War, whoops.
oooo controversial, i love it! i'm so on the fence about ninth house myself
@@chandlerainsley Yeah, I just didn't think it was as OOO DARK AND CREEPY as everyone kept saying it was
when u brought up Taylor Jenkins Reid i got a lil upset.. but i still love you so😙🥰
I agree Mariana Zaparta recent novels haven't been her best work.
Can someone just give me the synopsis (7 husband's) I got bored halfway through, only thing I cared about was why she wanted the interviewer specifically. I got to I think the 3/4 husband so I just want the summary no review or opinion just what's the story?
Oof to late but I can just tell you the plot twist and spoil the entire story.
Hated the 7 husbands
Nevernight by Jay Kristoff was SO disappointing to me. I’m a Fantasy Bitch ™ and everyone was RAVING about that book and it’s so bad lol. The writing is like a teenage boy’s first attempt at poetry and the story is literally just the same shit as every other story about an assassin teen girl. Thank you, next!
clicked because of shoeh, and damn do i not get what you're saying. i just simple cannot fathom how it went that way for you.
me watching every video on youtube at 2x speed 😅
Subscribed! Only because of 1 reason:
Haven’t seen the video yet. But I just need to say it: I haven’t read more than a 100 pages of The seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo…. because I couldn’t continue, it was so flat and boring. And the cherry on top: Evilyn herself is quite an awful person.
So I had to search for a video like this to get some sympathy from likeminded 😂 Everoyone else seem to love it 😳
And I’ll subscribe because you didn’t like this book either… I feel like I can get some great recommendations on this channel :) oh and of course; I like the way you describe books. 🥳
I seriously felt like something's wrong with me bc I didn't like the seven husbands of evelyn hugo. So I came here looking for similar opinion.
hi
I think l.j Shen wanted to do something like "addicted" and "like us" series but failed miserably.
its latino or latina not latinx
latinx is a gender-neutral neologism. thank you though
HOW CAN YOU SAY SEVEN HUSBANDS IS DISAPPOINTING?? Frankly I’m disappointed in you
lol
Do you normally speak at x1.5😂? No need to play the video faster.
"Latinx" 😂😂😂
Imagine saying "Africanx", "Americanx", "Europeanx", "Asianx". Oh gawd...
Please read some of jo Watson’s books!
