ONTD Original: Why Colleen Hoover and "It Ends With Us" is terrible and why you shouldn't see it

[arilicious]

So as this long-awaited movie based on the book "It Ends With Us" is coming out soon, I hate to do any promotion for it, but I think it's important to list the reasons why this book and it's author are terrible, and why you shouldn't see them. I've only read two of her books, this one and "Verity", so I can't comment on her other ones that I know

RYLE????

I grew up with a guy called Ryle (and his brother, Rhett).

That name is giving "Scooby Doo trying to pronounce Kyle".

And I'm sorry to continue being a hater, but the script was adapted by Christy Hall, who just wrote and directed Daddio, in which Sean Penn mansplains daddy issues and complains about his ex-wife at Dakota Johnson for 90 minutes and then [Spoiler (click to open)]she tips him like $500. so lol I too have no hope

as a bookseller, i live for coho slander. i still love the story of one of my coworkers persuading a dad to not buy this shit for his preteen daughter because of the DV issues

[moonisaballoon]

Sincerely feels like the civic duty of a bookseller to do such a thing, well done to your colleague

[captainamerica]

i try my best to recommend other books in the romance section just to steer them from that mess

[howthedaysounds]

Would you happen to have some good recommendations for historical romances? 👀

OP, for this post:

[aristobrit]

I swear she wrote Twilight fanfiction. So many of her stories sound like they came from this particular fanfic author.

[iamkenough]

ngl a lot of people who wrote Twilight/Star Wars fanfiction seem like they were made in a lab. They look similar, have similar values and write badly, yet they made it big lmao

[aristobrit]

Sadly, they aim for the lowest common denominator and seem to always hit their target.

JFC… this shit is horrible! Reading about those books just feels awful. Absolute trash! 🤮
