Macey Camp Lmao! I can’t wait

Marlow Did someone seriously make a movie out of this garbage heap of a book?


message 1704: by Macey (new) - rated it 5 stars

Macey Camp What?


message 1705: by Taylor (new) - rated it 5 stars

Taylor Emerick If you're talking about After....
Considering it was literally an international sensation, and the most read series EVER on Wattpadd with over 1 billion views before even being published, with over 30 million copies now in print just in the US, and the movie opening # 1 in 17 countries and going on to become one of the highest-grossing independent films of 2019... I think it has worth to a lot of people. Also the movie has suuuuch a beautiful soundtrack guys.

And if you're talking about The Selection movie in production...
Why are you even in this group when you clearly rated the book 1 star lol..

No one likes all of the same books, which is why there are literally a million different ones out there. I don't support book shaming because a book might be really lame for you, but be beautiful to someone else. To each their own.

Also LOL The Selection is literally like the bachelor, and has it not been made clear that people love reality romance shows. 🤣 It's not my favorite book series, but I will definitely check out the movie lol. Okay, back to listening to the After soundtrack on repeat 🤣

Taylor Emerick Btw, Happy Almost Christmas Eve guys!!! Merry Christmas Eve Eve lol!


message 1707: by Macey (new) - rated it 5 stars

Macey Camp I completely agree with you Taylor. Also merry Christmas Eve guys!!


message 1708: by Taylor (new) - rated it 5 stars

Taylor Emerick Merry Christmas Eve!!!!


message 1709: by Marlow (new) - rated it 1 star

Marlow Merry Christmas Eve! I totally get why people don't like it, and I don't have a problem with romance. My problem with this series is the horribly persistent stereotypes and the lack of consent.


message 1710: by Macey (new) - rated it 5 stars

Macey Camp Are we talking about After? Because I’ve only watched the first movie, and it was consensual. If we’re talking about the selection it was also.. consensual so I’m confused


message 1711: by Taylor (new) - rated it 5 stars

Taylor Emerick Lol I'm a bit confused too. Unless we mean The Selection girls being semi-forced to participate? I haven't reread recently though.

Any Macey movie 2 was a lot better, and really really good!!


message 1712: by Taylor (new) - rated it 5 stars

Taylor Emerick I just put on After again xD


message 1713: by Macey (new) - rated it 5 stars

Macey Camp But they had the option to sign up for the selection so I don’t really see how that counts 🤔


message 1714: by Marlow (new) - rated it 1 star

Marlow I'm not talking about the movies at this point. What I mean by consent is America getting asked if she's okay with being hugged, kissed, ect.. When Maxon just randomly decided to kiss her, not only was she not expecting it, but there was literally no way that he could have know if she would have been okay with it. There are tons of other examples of non consensual touches in these book which is super ironic considering the author decided to address rape... but then again, the way she did it was definitely pretty messed up as well, seeing as she explained the man's actions by saying, "I'm not sure they have very many women with them, if you catch my meaning." Umm... what? Just because someone doesn't have a significant other doesn't mean that they get to go around raping people.


message 1715: by Macey (new) - rated it 5 stars

Macey Camp I read it when I was younger. I will have to reread the series to see what you mean.


message 1716: by Holly (new) - added it

Holly I think I missed all of that as well, so I suppose if I reread it I'll have to pay more attention. I wasn't a major fan because I saw it was listed under "dystopian" but didn't have anything I like in a dystopian. And I wasn't preparing for it to be like the batchelor, lol! I think if I had known what I was getting into I would enjoyed it far better 😂
Also, I'm late, but Merry Christmas!!!! I hope everyone had a fantastic day!


message 1717: by Macey (new) - rated it 5 stars

Macey Camp You too Holly! And same actually, I don’t try having high expectations for a book when I start it so that really helps lol


message 1718: by Marlow (new) - rated it 1 star

Marlow My expectations for books are lack of blatant bigotry so I'm usually disappointed. :)


message 1719: by Macey (new) - rated it 5 stars

Macey Camp Oof


message 1720: by Holly (new) - added it

Holly Lol! I hadn't realized how picky I was until about a year or two ago. Before that, I thought I was easy to please when it came to books! 😂 So...then what books do you like, Hayden?


message 1721: by Macey (new) - rated it 5 stars

Macey Camp Lol yea I have a certain genre I’ll read. I try other books but it’s a rarity


message 1722: by Holly (new) - added it

Holly That might be my issue...lol I like to try random things, even if they aren't a genre I usually go for. Lol but if I don't I get tired of my favorite genres...


message 1723: by Marlow (new) - rated it 1 star

Marlow I really love Ivy Aberdeen's Letter to the World, Girl Made of Stars, The Seeds of America Series, Redwood and Ponytail, The Raven Cycle Series, all of Rick Riordan's books, The War That Saved My Life Series, and The All for the Game Series!
