Y'all really like her books? Daym
its not bad you should try it ends with us for the start
verity is great
@@heysecret240nopeeee😭😭
If u like her writing , u need some help 😭
@@watoonaaaait's not about her being a good writer or not it's her being a horrible person
wait she's a woman ??? like what are you kidding me, how can a woman write such horrible male characters and book in general ,wow like my head is spinning why does she hate women though...
she doesn't hate women. She's showing how much hate women do get
@@randyysaraa5252doesn't really work if all your female characters have no say in anything and swoon over the toxic and abusive guys instead of fighting though
@@sparkledwater5545 oh my God! Have you even read them? I read 2 books by her and the women are really strong and they have enough strength to leave an abusive relationship.
After the situation with her son and how she reacted to it that is extremely hard to believe.@@randyysaraa5252
Having a different outlook on life does not equate to hate i would know cause i hate how dumb this generation is
I think we all owe stephanie meyer an apology
coho is single handedly the worst author in 2022-23
Absolutely.
Her writing reminds me of that one Bojack Horseman episode where Herb dies and they read his manuscript and it’s bad af
If she was that bad she wouldn't sell so many books
Fr
@@beeeeez959850 shades of gray was some next tier trash, how many copies did it sell?
crazy she's so popular when she writes really horrible books :/ I'm not gonna slam people for reading, I love reading and if her books get people into reading then cool, but there are so many better books and authors out there than her. just sayin'
Whatever you're "just saying" is not just saying. They're total facts.
@@ideknic i don't think they are horrible and people can read both her books and the books written by those you claim to be better authors
her books were so bad I cried
You still don't have to be mean if you can't be honest.
I just loved Verity.
Why are the comments so mean? Nobody is forcing you to read her work lol. So strange
Exactly it's crazy how much common sense people lack🤦🏽♀️ and it shows, smh it's so annoying they should infact get a life
I think you'd have different opinion if you actually read one of her books☠️🚶♀️➡️
It's a comment section where people are free to comment their thoughts and experiences. Why you mad?
@@sean1000-7 there’s a difference between criticising an authors work and straight up hating on them lol
@@Twilight-q1g im an old reader and i read verify and it was amazing you don't have to say that . Every book has value and should be appreciated in any category
Her descriptions of characters are annoying sometimes or a lot, but if many people like her, this means that she is a good writer. It is not great to criticize a reader or writers especially if you were a reader !
Watching this makes me wonder as to what kinds of books are selling more than others and for what reasons, whether someone is a fan of Hoover's work(s) or not. To that end, I once asked an industry colleague of mine if Colleen Hoover's books are "Pulitzer Prize Worthy material" in a genuine way, considering ALL the media and social media hype surrounding her. They relied "no" in a quick-witted manner.
@@JavierGonzalez-lp3ke I think good marketing is essencial and also analyzing what kind of books people are into at the moment. There are great books out there for sure, but they might not be considered valuable to the market, not because they are bad but because most people would not be interest in reading them.
All I ask of you Collen is that you please put content warnings in your books stating that the behaviour represented isn't healthy and shouldn't be replicated in real life. Not glorifying it and acting like it's something to be desired in a real relationship, please
@@TheStrangeAffairsOfRoyalSocks when did she glorify such relationships, though? From my perspective, she does the complete opposite by exposing how toxic relationships develop, how complex they are and how the main characters got out of them.
I'll never buy a book written by her, after reading garbage_point of retreat🤢
I grow up having a hard time reading, but her book have help me so much and love this so much.
Same. I find it easy to read :)
i recently found out about her, i purchased one of her books a few days ago the book is verity, i can't wait to read it
I purchased that book Friday and I finally picked it up to read it Saturday morning and I finished it that day. So good. Definitely reading all of her other books. She’s so talented.
Verity is such a good book, one of my absolute favourites!
Her one of few good works
Did you survive?
bro noooooooo it is traumatizing
No one really purposefully becomes a bestselling author… it’s not something that you can control
I guess it's trending to hate her.🤔
Maybe if you took the time to find out you would know. And if you find out and don't see the problem you are a part of it.
and what about it?
Wow, did all these people even listen to the video? Or did they just pick a random video about her and comment (so hateful) without even knowing what’s it about??
I understand, romanticizing abuse isn’t a nice topic to talk or read about. But it actually happens in the real world and so did it happen to her mother AS SHE WAS JUST SAYING in the video!
So basically she isn’t romanticizing abuse, she is telling the story of her mother in a way, maybe because she wants people to be aware of abuse often taken place without even realizing by themselves or maybe she needs to process a trauma she probably got, but who knows?
What concerns me more is the fact that a lot of people enjoy reading about dark romance and romanticize being stalked or killing people… but that’s OKAY??!
So you’d say these characters in dark romance books aren’t toxic at all? Why does nobody talk about how problematic dark romance books can be? And they often don’t even have a trigger warning and if they have them they don’t include all the problematic topics the books talks about.
But we KNOW for a fact her books are NOT to warn ppl but it's romanticising abuse,cheating,r@p3,inc3st and more.SHE LITTERALLY DEFENDED HER SON WHEN HE SA'D A GIRL AND SILENCED THE VICTIM
@@Marrii_i her book it ends with us does not romanticize abusive relationships, it acrually shows how they can slowly develop into something toxic without you even realize it and then the main character is, fortunately, able to get out of it. Why would she write a story romanticizing the abuse her mother went through (the story is about her mother)?
@@Marrii_i as for her son, i had no idea about this, this makes me really sad, actually! Truly disappointing. Where did you get this information from, though? Has it been confirmed and did he get sued (i hope so)?
Colleen sucks.
I think a lot of people would disagree with you..
@@jonathanbaumlerno
@@skibidipopppy I guess it’s why SHE is a best-selling author, and we’re all still in the process of aspiring to be one. A lot of people have a lot to say about those doing better than them..
@@jonathanbaumler just because she’s the bestselling author doesn’t mean she’s good
@@skibidipopppy what makes someone good?
She may be no Shakespeare but if she’s getting the younger generation reading more again then surely that’s a good thing? 🤷🏽♀️
I don’t understand why people are saying such hateful things about Colleen Hoover and her writing. I actually enjoy reading her books. 😊I love both “It Ends With Us” and “It Starts With Us.” ❤
Colleen’s books are what got me thru my 20s. Can’t believe I’m the same age as she was when she wrote slammed & took a chance on herself. Maybe I need to do the same 🥰
What a lovely author feature. I love that she wants to help others.
How they can writer the books so easily but we can't ??? I can't even think to become a writer
So she uploaded All her writings to Kindle app ? And that’s how she got noticed ?
Please keep your therapy reports to yourself an never print it sorry thanks. No hate.
Finished november 9(first ever novel read)yesterday(that makes three days exactly) and i dont know what she puts in her book but imma read more her novels❤️
THAT BOOK IS LITTERALLY ABOUT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND CHEATING WTHHHHH
oh and it's not in a way to warn ppl about it but it's GLORIFYING THAY CONCEPT
This is crazy, throw that in the trash rn
Her writing is so good and her story is very inspiring ❤
Inspired to do what?
@@whattheduck316 to be a writer ❤️
Inspired to be abus1ve? Wow! ❤
@@wiII9w are you ok
Verity is so good! I recommend.
I wish i can read her books i heard they're mostly 18+
I have a story but I want to write a book about my life me end up going to prison how to start
@@ZulfaJacobs-ph1pg maybe you could start by planning what to put on your book and in what order, an then writing one page per day. If you commit to it, in 4 months you will have written about 120 pages! That would make a good book. There are some awesome tips on pinterest on how to write a book. I would gladly read yours if you decide to write it! Good luck, my friend 😘
I haven’t read any Colleen Hoover books, but a select few in this comment section definitely didn’t watch the video.
I love this!!!!
I loved Verity. Lots on haters here.
Y’all can read about Aliens and monsters and be fascinated. Most of her books are fiction.
Take things with a pinch of salt, don’t be so critical. I don’t know about her as a person but her style of writing is addictive.
Whatever anyone goes through, you don’t have to be like “ oh I get DV and it’s not like this. Why is she gaslighting us blah blah blah”.
If you don’t like what unsafe reading, put the book down and move on.
Jena you should add Colleen Hoover’s books to your book club !
Been a fan since I read Hopeless in 2012
why do people hate her??
Im convinced shes high on something everytime she writes..
She's the one of the best author ❤I fall in love with some characters....
💀💀💀?!
@@silvsin_66 Exactly. She’s not one of the best authors. If you think that, then you have not read enough.
Fantastic ❤
She's a sell out and should be ashamed of herself. ❤❤❤
Karen.
Outselling the bible 😂
Is the bible even for sale? I always thought they just gave them away.
She be serious right now
Her story honestly is really inspirational for me and it’s crazy how things have turned around for her 🥹🥹
i know nothing about this woman but i feel bad, like why are u all bullying her, you say you all hate her books so then why doyou keep reading them? pick a side
She defended her son's sa and romantices disturbing topics like abxse in her books
@@wiII9w she what-
@@serenitysubs933 yeah, I know. It's pretty bad
Her prose is bad . Her writing has no style no cadence, all her books mediocre at best and rotten garbage at worst. I only read 3 of her books which are described as her best, yeah they were pretty mediocre
we love colleen hoover
Speak for yourself
who’s we??
@@user-cx1ov6gm1s What did she do? I feel like I am out of the loop
@@DREADLher books are problematic
We?

❤
