I was disappointed by The Fifth Wave series by Rick Yancey. I thought I would like it because I read The Hunger Games but the end of the series was disappointing. It wasn’t very satisfying.
Any Colleen Hoover bookI heard that it was either liked or really hated and when I started reading one of her books, I dnf-ed it right away! I now truly understand why other readers hated it…
gotta be red queen. the second book, to be exact. Can't go further on that.
Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas, holy moly I swear I never hated a set of characters more. I hoped they all fell to their death from a very high place. Every interesting bit in the first book was skipped over (the entire trial part? The only thing that could have possibly be a little interesting?) in favor of showing our heroine (ah!) lounging and eating chocolate cake. Oh and she is beautiful, and smart, and she is the Most Fearsome Assassin except we don't really know how that's possible since she doesn't do anything remotely fitting of this fame. She barely trains, despite claiming she's not fit (but still she's so stunning, of course). She brags all the time, then complain all the time. The big reveal is so obvious I basically guessed it from the back cover. It's a mess. And not even a hot one - both love interests, because we had to have a love triangle since she's so amazing, are dull. Chaol is even a little creepy. The prince is ridiculous is his obsession for her, completely out of the blue.
Yes, I'm ranting, but seriously, that was bad.

pretty much every colleen hoover book is bad, her best books are somewhat okay
and To All the Boys I've Loved Before the movie is better though
The Spanish Love Deception felt like every other romance book with the basic tropes in my opinion
kiss me. it was a pain to finish the first book. no actual plot. it just felt as an excuse to do smut, and I didn't find that good either
A court of thorns and roses.The series seems to have a huge fan base and I fairly liked Throne of Glass so I started it. I think I finished it? Can’t really remember much of the plot but the characters didn’t speak to me and it felt like it dragged on and on. Maybe I’ll give it another shot sometime. Maybe.
The Cruel Prince-sorry it wasn't for me. I found it to be incredibly boring, and I hated just about every character.And Verity by Colleen Hoover. I see many people feel the same way about her books. After Verity, I couldn't bring myself to read anymore of her books. She's a subpar writer. I think I've read/heard better writing on fanfiction websites and in the No Sleep Podcast. The characters were terribly written and the so called twist? Horrible.
I'm not much of a reader so this book isn't even that terrible, but there was so much inexplicable hype for Places No One Knows, which I just recently read. I think it's my only one-star rating.
It wasn’t too popular but the queen’s assassin by Melissa de la Cruz, it wasn’t horrible but the relationships were really messy and not my type of book.
The book thief.It just wasn't for me and I have no idea how people found it heartbreaking.
Also IEWU series wtf was that coho?
totally matched and tsitp they were so bad i couldn't even get through the first booki loved the cruel prince but i recently reread it and it wasn't great so idkkk
Don't know if i've commented here earlier but nonetheless, One of us is lying.Hey once again, thanks for my year long reading slump, One of us is lying!
so much tsitp and matched slander. why?? anyways I really didn't like the cruel prince I had to dnf it
