Yes, I'll agree that 'It ends with us' should not be taken as a romance book But 'It ends with us' was like the best of her work (if we not compare her to other writers). I really loved how strong she showed Lily Bloom was. She actually tried to show what actually happens when your partner is abusive. You will think of 100 reasons why you shouldn't walk out of that marriage but eventually you'll have to (if you know what I'm Tring to say). And for context Atlas Corrigan is a really good character. And will be my forever favourite.

This is just my personal opinion but I wish most western authors stopped exoticizing Asian and African cultures while simultaneously dissing them. This otherizing is so upsetting and problematic to us. Some of these highly rated fantasy books (as well as books of other genres) have names and words that are so obviously close to actual words of languages from these regions while the authors claim it's entirely their own creation. The stories themselves are entertaining but with a thinly veiled narrative that doesn't humanize instead stereotypes our cultures and diverse identities. It's disappointing how immigrants themselves sometimes celebrate narratives that only portray their cultures in a singular light. At least, Colleen Hoover gets criticized for portraying sexist and misogynistic tropes as romantic.

@h.k.9210
Жыл бұрын
When you compare Verity to the other books on Colleen Hoover's backlist, it'll become very clear that this book was written as somewhat of a "punishment" for the type of woman CoHo dislikes (i.e. the type of woman that could never be a main character in her books). Since Colleen herself confirmed that she was team manuscript, let's safely assume that Verity is as psychotic as she wrote her to be BUT if you strip away the character's selfish psychotic behaviour, it turns out that she's simply an independent, self-indulgent (but not selfish) woman who doesn't prioritise motherhood. Basically, she's the exact opposite of your typical CoHo female lead (dependent on the male MC, would sacrifice themselves and their livelihoods for him with motherhood at the centre of their world whether they are ones or not). To conclude, Colleen is vilifying women who don't believe in what she believes in through amping the aforementioned traits enough to turn Verity into a proper villain and that's why it's inherently misogynistic and further plays into it by pitting Verity and Lowen against one another. I hope my explanation made sense! This is coming from someone who INITIALLY loved Verity after reading it for the first time (this was after reading and hating her books Ugly Love and Without Merit) but changed my mind not long after, it officially became one of the worst books I've ever read after a reread and a lot of self-reflection so watching Hannah's CoHo video and this one after going through it really cemented my change of heart because her criticism is 100% correct.

Besides, it's DARK romance, I don't understand why people read them and then complain that the men are jerks, it's like buying a Song of Ice and Fire book and complaining that there are dragons in it. Hoover's books are not instruction manuals on healthy relationships and it baffles me that people think that they should be. I'm not saying Hoover portrays the things she portrays perfectly (or even particularly well) but the 'Cancel Hoover she is teh misogynist!' pablum that gets spewed everywhere is silly, tiresome and not constructive to literary discourse.

I mean what’s wrong with you people? If you see it as a romance book then you seriously need to get help. Then I went on for years having my doubts about her books and made the huge mistake of reading verity this year. I’ve seen so many people recommending it as a shocking thriller and whatever and even putting it in lists alongside The silent patient. So yeah… huge mistake. Verity was a whole new level of bad.

It feels like cultural colonization from a non-American perspective. You, Americans, failed your citizens of colour but don't appropriate our culture to make it up to them. Yes, Western Europeans have their own sins (just to be clear, I'm not a Western European) but it's up to them to make it right, it's not for you, Americans, to decide how Western Europeans should pay for what they did in the past, ok? You take this high moral ground preaching diversity and open-mindedness but America-centrism and the superiority complex is still deeply rooted in you, you know? Every country, every culture must look like American society, otherwise it is immoral and sinful.

i think you mentioned this in your 5 coho books video, but the biggest problem with her stuff is that they're all toxic relationships put in a romantic light. They aren't the cute and sweet little romcoms the booktok girlies make them out to be. Are the things she writes about worth a discussion (ex. teacher/student)? yes, but the topics require a careful approach as to not glorify them, which, in my opinion, miss vacuum isn't exactly good at (look at how many Ryle simps there are despite his actions which even coho condemns). If she wants to write romance then fine, but she doesn't need to make every book of hers about an unhealthy relationship. You can write a good romance without abuse or trauma as a focal point

I do think, personally, that the fact that there's a lot of Ryle simps that either sympathize with him or turn a blind eye to his actions, is CoHo's fault. Every other book that she has deals with unhealthy and/or borderline abusive relationships, yet those main male characters are the love interests so she writes the story to make us root for them, despite the toxicity. She condemns Ryle's actions (rightfully so) but has other books with the same type of male character yet this time we are supposed to see their actions as romantic instead of abusive, such as that scene where Ryle tries to r*pe Lily and people (and her) condemn the action (again, rightfully so), but in other of her books (many of them) the male character tries to do the same to the female lead and he is forgiven or is seen as a dark romance or is brushed off (such as November 9). If she wants to write romance books with this type of trope (possesive alpha male with toxic tendencies) she can do so, just like Sarah J. Maas does, yet the fact that she can so easily write a book with a toxic and abusive male lead and condemn his actions, yet glosses over abusive and unhealthy male characters in her other books (that are supposed to be romantic) is horrible.

One thing that I absolutely HATED about people’s attitude towards It Ends With Us, is how a lot of people, especially those who had read the book early on when it was just released, want you to go into this book blindly. I have seen so many Goodreads reviews saying things like: “i knew nothing about this books before reading it and I suggest you do the same” or “Trust Colleen Hover and go into this book blindly”. Like WHAT??? People treat abuse in this book as if was some kind of a shocking plot twist LIKE ARE YOU SERIOUS???

Tbh that's what CoHo fans do, I remember like a year ago there was one redhead girl on TikTok who told her toxic relationship with her ex, and there were a bunch of people suggesting to read the book because she looked similar and had similar background, I never watched the video, it was BookTokers (I don't know the right word) who speak out and say how bad this is it
@bethadams8269
Жыл бұрын
That is how you go into a relationship ... blindly. You get to know and love the person and then the abuse is a shock. It is a romance until it isn't. Coho is a terrible writer but the story has heart and a great message. The romance is there but she had to matter more. Her child gave her that strength.
@setrakpap
Жыл бұрын
I’m not saying that you go into a relationship already fulling knowing a person. That’s actually what make’s abusive relationships so scary because they present themselves as being nice but they’re actually not like that at all. However that’s a RELATIONSHIP, and we are talking about a BOOK and I think that people deserve to know beforehand that the book contains a subject that can potential trigger the reader. Saying “go into the book blindly” is just kinda insensitive to ppl who had experienced an abuse relationship before and thought that they were getting a romance books. I think that the message was great but Colleen did not do a particularly good job at writing it.

Back in 8th grade, I picked 'The Selection' as my monthly read. Basically what we do is read one book and do a report at the end of the month. The selection was so popular with my girl classmates. Everyone was talking about it so I picked it up thinking that my book report is going to be exciting since almost everyone will be interested to listen. I wasn't expecting to be really disappointed. Since english is not my first language, it would take a lot of time before I fully comprehend a single page. I try to understand every single word to add it to my vocabulary. And 'The Selection' was the first english book that made me understood what 'cringey' is. I was too upset that after reading it, I decided to read another book to present to class because there's no way I'm ever going to talk about it in front of my teacher.
