It encourages people to harass others for no reason. You think you're in the right but you're not. You are just as bad as them as you are perpetuating a negative stereotype of people.

It makes me so sad/mad that Colleen Hoover books are SO popular. I fear that so many young people (specifically girls) are going to read the books and then get into abusive/toxic relationships and not recognize it because Colleen Hoover told them that “that’s romance”. When I was 13 I read a romance book that featured an emotionally abusive partner but it was framed as romance. Then I ended up getting into my own emotionally abusive relationship. I truly think if I hadn’t read that book I may have realized sooner that I was being abused.

That frustrates me so much, also!! And it's not that we can't have books with toxic partners. In fact, the whole genre of dark romance revolves around really toxic (and sometimes a little abusive) partners. But in that genre, you're usually going into it knowing that it isn't even close to real life! That's its whole shtick! It's like dagger-to-throat enemies-to-lovers. They lay it out so that you know it isn't real life (and often include trigger warnings in the book or on the author website). With CoHo's books, she writes it as if these are all situations that could reasonably happen in real life, which makes impressionable young teens assume that is how real life works. If CoHo wants to keep writing books like this, she has to do better to ensure that everyone who reads it know THAT ISNT HOW REAL LIFE WORKS!!!

Why is it controversial? That‘s like saying assault is controversial, or money laundering. Someone in a powerful position altering someone’s body without their consent in a medically unnecessary way while they‘re vulnerable and under their care is inherently wrong. Also, it doesn’t „happen sometimes“ as that sounds quite unintentional, a medical professional makes a conscious choice to hurt a patient. Please, I don’t intend for this to sound rude, I just feel the language here doesn’t fit when we‘re discussing violence. I bet we both feel the same about this practice (not good, to put it lightly) so that’s why I‘m commenting.

Facts re: episiotomies. I listened to the doctor and nurses decide to do an episiotomy and they left to get the implements while I was in active labor with my firstborn. It was quiet and I just caught little bits of it. No one spoke directly to me about it. My daughter came into the world while they were gone, and a single nurse was there to catch the baby. When the doctor came back, she wordlessly started setting up her tray for the episiotomy, and the nurse had to get her attention to point out that she was holding my baby. I was 20 years old, in pain, numb from the waist down, and hadn’t had the guts to speak up, but it shook me that they were preparing to cut me open without my consent when I was fully conscious and capable of making decisions about my own body. This was in Portland, OR in 2006.

The first "love interest " offers this but is fully up front that it's transactional. Body for safety. It will in the middle seem like the pair are maybe falling for each other but the actual love interest is always around. Trying to gently nudge that what they need isn't stability but change.

@Jayce Bechtol Ooh, it does sound interesting, and I'm sure many people relate to the false sense of security some men seem to provide when, in reality, they take full control over their partner's existence. It can also be a good twist on the love triangle trope. However, it can just as easily go the Hoover way: a fuckton of exposition, one-dimensional characters/relationships, and not enough consequences for everyone's actions. But I believe in your writing skills to pull it off. You seem aware of the mind games in place and how they intersect. Sounds like you've got it all planned out, which is more than you can say about Hoover, so more power to you! And if you ever need the unbiased opinion of a stranger, or if you get published, feel free to drop by this comment section and let me know! I'd be happy to help anyway I can.

I like the *idea* of the poetry thing. A character narrates about his love interest throughout a book and only when he speaks of her or interacts with her does it do that. Then something happens, they have a falling out or there's an accident or what have you, and it suddenly stops. They drift apart, they leave. Then maybe something else happens long, long after, and they reconnect. At first it's normal, but the spark starts to come back, and after a while the poetry bit starts again and it's a nice happy ending. But this ain't it, chief. #1 it requires a little more effort than just having some line breaks to properly deliver the impact and not just make it a cheap tactic. #2 the book is bad and doesn't earn it back. You can't just do it again with another love interest, that defeats the entire part of what made it special to begin with.

The assassin in angels and demons. straight up savage scawy Arab. Added bonus Dan Brown managed to write that before 9/11 and it was trendy to justify the US having propped up Bin Laden in the first place because can't have the commies getting the opium poppies, we got an opiod crisis to get going

I remember getting an audiobook of The Lost Symbol, and omg that one had some dumb, dumb moments (and also the problematic writing of women). I know one part had paragraphs of text describing a drive between two places and I had to fast forward through it. I was kind of astonished to read on the back of the box that it was slightly abridged already. I also distinctly recall that the main character missed some pretty obvious symbols/clues in the story that even I guessed...even though he's literally a symbologist.

Well, I have a degree in English Literature and, while you're not doing an "academic" analysis, I'd say you're still doing a critical analysis. I would classify most of your book videos as doing "character analysis" since you tend to focus on the characters and how they interact. You specifically point out how terribly they're written which is a valid topic; just because the work got published doesn't mean it's any good.

Idk the details but there was an experiment on rats or mice that kind of show that these rats only used drugs to escape their miserable reality. The ones who had everything they needed to live did not want to do LSD or whatever it was. Wholeheartedly agree with giving homeless people money, even if it means it’s for drugs.

These books make me wrestle a lot with my beliefs. On one hand, I’m extremely anti-censorship. I also believe most adults can see that relationships like these are not healthy. I quite like dark stories so I understand the appeal. On the other hand, CoHo’s books aren’t promoted as dark stories and that really rubs me the wrong way. Although most adults can use critical thinking, that doesn’t mean CoHo’s books aren’t hurting women. It’s like how so many older movies showed men forcibly kissing women. That made young men believe it was okay to do so. CoHo’s books are telling women that they should be emotional punching bags for men without ever once implying this is unhealthy in the narrative or promotion. I’m very torn. If there’s were just marketed as dark, I wouldn’t bat an eye. However it’s clear that CoHo doesn’t realize her romances are unhealthy and that’s where these books lose my forgiveness. Anyone else a bit conflicted? 😅

I'm conflicted, too. It seems like it's up to readers to warn younger people about how books like CoHo's can be harmful, but it feels like it's just not enough sometimes. Even the covers of her books look like any other romance, they're deceptive. The best way might be to teach younger people critical thinking and to be more discerning about what they read. It's hard because people will always slip through the cracks.

I’m gonna be super honest here, as someone who interacts with the public on a regular basis, you are MASSIVELY overestimating the percentage of adults who actually have any critical thinking skills whatsoever.

I dunno if it was just excluded from the video but... it's disturbing to me that when his *infant son* dies, all Miles thinks of is still Rachel, as if she just lost a dog he gifted her or something. It'd suck even if it *was* a dog, but my dude, my guy, that was your SON?! Your newborn son. And he doesn't talk or think about it. Naa, that's Rachel's grief, and he's grieving her having grief, and that the relationship is ruined.

I didn't read the book but listening to her review, it also struck me as odd that he saved his gf, but not his son? Did he TRY at least? Rachel chastises herself for not saving her son and Miles tells her it's not her fault but he doesn't seem to blame himself even a little (not saying it IS his fault but most people would think that for at least a little bit). It genuinely feels like he only cared about Rachel, the son was only something he accepted because he was a byproduct of Rachel and would solidify their relationship (I'm not gonna say baby trap, but...) and the moment he had to choose he chose her and didn't even think for a second about his son as long as he kept her. Weird.

The only time he grieves for the son was at the very beginning. He was drunk when Tate found him because the day was 6th anniversary of his son’s birth, but even then, he’s moaning about the ex-stepsister!

Regarding having sex too soon after birth: After the placenta detaches, it leaves a huge gaping wound on the uterus. It takes weeks (6-8 weeks usually) to heal properly. The bacteria on a penis can cause an infection, which can be fatal. Even if you have stopped bleeding, the wound can still be open. Just leave your vagina alone (or leave your partner's vagina alone!) until your 6 week PP visit with your gyno. Sex isn't worth an infected uterus.
