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

These sound like the type of stories I would make up with my Barbies.

This is exactly it! Especially "and then Ryle's sister said she wanted to work at her flower shop for free"

Absence of sense 5-year old playtime nonsense

I saw a preview of the trailer months ago and realized right away it was to do with abuse... didn't think much of it for awhile until my mother started gushing about wanting to go see it recently. I couldn't understand why she was so excited about a dark movie like that until today when she came to me and said that she'd watched the trailer, and she hadn't realized it was about an abusive relationship. I asked how she didn't realize that, and she said she'd only seen a short clip and thought it was a standard romantic movie. Now she's decided she doesn't want to see it. So I guess that's a good thing, but the title alone hints towards what it's about. Eh. *shrug*

God it annoys me that she went from a self-publishing nobody to mega rich and famous because of bloody TikTok ding dongs. The only books of hers I have read is Verity and I’m still fuming about it a couple of years later. She’s just such a terrible writer, with terrible messages, and she kinda stinks of secret MAGA.

Also! She looks exactly like the kind of person who would have a barn door on her pantry.

Barn door on her pantry is so perfectly precisely descriptive lmao

Remember when Colleen Hoover was going to launch a coloring book themed after her book about a woman in an abusive relationship? And everyone was like wtf, and she was like 😭 oopsie, sorry? Now look at this: pic.twitter.com/MvCgpP0Io2

Is that her line or just someone jumping on the bandwagon?

[burntxtoashes]

It was a collab she did with Olive & June

Thank you. She is a vile human. It makes me sad

Wow, cool, glad this is getting a movie. So important to perpetuate this story.

I read Verity. It was horrible. Just like... nonsenically so. The twist is so stupid because it in no way, shape or form could have happened. It was dumb as fuck.
