I love your glasses! You look cute and them💜💜

Before I even watch, I want to state that I had the first book because I’m a sucker for fairytale retelling type shit. Never actually got around to reading it. Now in devastated. Before even watching the video.

When you said the guy shows up on the roof and starts kicking a chair in the beginning of the book, immediately I just thought of when sims are angry and kick over trash cans to feel something💀 what is this book

leah sublime by aleister crowley is another poem that in detail describes a passion for farts & stank b-holes. It’s f<3ked & I’ve only ever read it once because it’s so foul

I feel like people talk a lot about the weird age stuff with Atlas and Lily but no one ever brings up how weird it is for Colleen to be promoting a "relationship" with someone who was literally homeless when you met them and you're the only thing standing between them and freezing or starving. Like, young girls are going to romanticize that behavior and not see anything wrong with it but that is fundamentally dangerous and can't really lend itself to consent in much the same way that Lily as a 15 year old can't consent in that situation

Oh no, a 10th grader dating a 12th grader? A thing that frequently happens in real life and is usually not a problem? How terrible 🙄 Seriously, please pick your battles. There are much worse things in this book to get upset about

HATED that book with every fiber of my soul!! 😂

we had the exact same real time reaction at 14:40 😭😭😭😭😭

when i first read this book with an open mind, i just ignore many cringey moments (like actually many) just to enjoy this book. ngl it's not bad that bad, but just executed poorly😭 i can see it's potential, but it's written by her so...

Statistically, anytime a man abuses their partner, they will end up abusing the children too. Personally, it's very true and I wish I didn't have the mother that would turn a blind eye to it.

I feel like I would hate Colleen Hoover, like the energy is rancid

It's so nice to see one of your videos again. I've veen really goin through it and your silly reviews are such a balm to my gay little heart💖💖💖

Did Colleen Hoover got to a JK Rowling Seminar on how to name characters?

How is Colleen so popular?? Yet, the rest of us writers can't get our foot in the door with readers. The heck does this happen??😂😭😭

i get that he was being unreasonable but like ive seen so many videos going over the plot of this book and nobody has mentioned how silly the magnet thing is. like she LIVED in boston. just because a dude from her past slso ended up living in boston doesnt mean the magnet had anything to do with him. i just dont know why the magnet was the big deal and not just the letters/diary or atlas saying the thing in the paper.

The James Joyce letter made me inhale my saliva and cough for a solid fifteen seconds, been years since the written word has given me such a visceral reaction.

love the one blonde Justin Bieber picture you added there

Re: Baldoni directing and playing Ryle -- from what I have heard, he did not originally intend to play Ryle, while he did intend to direct and in fact bought the rights to the movie a couple years ago. Apparently Hoover was the one who wanted him to play Ryle, and as she is the author he agreed to do so.

I’m a fic writer and the idea of not tagging like important trigger topics is so wild to me. Like people will still read your stuff even if they like know the basics of what’s gonna happen, it’s also good to make sure people aren’t getting in over their heads! Tangent over, excellent video very funny :)

I live in Boston and the minimum wage is around 15.5$ and 16$ which is an improvement form 10$ but is still nothing. Specially for a city as expensive as Boston.

Is this the third It Ends With Us book review/deconstruct/gossip sesh I've watched? Yes. Am I going to enjoy it 1000%? Also yes 😂

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this.

I definitely *didn't* illegally download a copy of this book in like 2016/2017, during the peak ibookpile days, with 0 context of the content or coleen hoover and fully judged it by its cover as a romance. But I will say this book was my first (and only i think?) 1 star on goodreads and is the reason I have since refused to read any of her other books and actively recommended a friend NOT read her. everything I read about her after, and more recently with the movie coming out, I'm glad I've stayed away

10:04 Call me dramatic, but personally, I would never speak to Ryle again after this. If it were me, the book would've ended immediately after this scene and be an eighth of the length it is now. Do not proposition me while touching my gravity connectors.

Okay so unrelated: is this the girl who played on Nurse Jackie?

“Lily Blossom Bloom” is a my little pony oc that gets shipped with fluttershy, not a human being

No one else I'd rather hear this summary from bc I'm sure as hell not reading it! It's the way that I had NO idea it was about domestic violence until a few days ago because the trailer and the hype around it makes it seem like a romcom. wth

Ok yeah i’m judging straight ppl rn 16:17

YES i was hoping you’d read this bc i don’t want to but i’m so so morbidly curious about bad books 😂

I think some scientists think that our laughter sound is derived from a play-fight panting sound, which is why it might show up during other times where a harder breathing response happens (like stress)

9:00 If I had copious amounts of money, I'd probably still be working. The difference is that it would be a job I enjoy instead of one to afford to live. I also have Asperger's so I would need to keep a job to help with grounding and routine so I guess that explains the difference

Gurl Colleen Hoover is prime shitty book club content! Just try not to go insane 🙃

I don’t remember the book being this insane and stupid when I read it

There’s so much in these books but I just can’t get over writing to Ellen Degeneres that she was turned on by having him rub cow poop over her arm. Ellen Degeneres is a real person. I want to know what she thinks about this book.

[52:07] If I ever read that a man fought "like he had money" I would think that meant he was pitiful at it, not "gentlemanly". An impoverished person would have had significantly more experience and grit than a rando in an ivory tower. It wouldn't matter if he was tutored in dueling daily, a man who fights to live would have better instincts.

I'm so excited for this I've been waiting for you to read this book😭

This was in the Romance section, so I didn't know what I was getting myself into and I felt so betrayed. That's literally the section for Love and Happy Endings and Safety. I actually went back and complained about the shelving and the librarian was shocked (she hadn't read it) and moved all the books out of the section and put up a post-it with a warning.

*peace and love girlie* I'm in ECE too and can confirm takes so much patience even if you're a calm person and LOVE what you're doing. People who are pretty nice but not that committed or not that patient don't even make it working with little kids, so if you're an emotionally unstable, *angry* person??? Absolutely not. So right, that's 100% unsafe but unfortunately the courts usually do not care if the mother has been a victim of domestic violence and will still give the dad 50% custody especially if they're loaded like this clown and idk if Colleen was thinking about it that cynically but it's probably better for the kiddo in the long run for Lily to get along with him and give him days than to duke it out in court.

Just listening to you talk about this book felt like being in a fever dream

LILLY IS 15????

Omg shitty bookclub posted let's go

i was even more shocked when i found out Collen Hoover wanted to make a coloring book based on this book insane

what are your thoughts on it starts with us?

the ending with their child being left with Ryle alone makes me so mad. i’m an ECE too, and the amount of neglect and abuse i witness and report from parents is so heartbreaking. some parents don’t deserve children, but all children deserve to have proper parents.

lol lol lol, read Ugly Love or November 9 or verity (if your feeling very spicy), i'm sure you'll end up hating her like the rest of us.

Colleen Hoover and James Joyce in the same shitty book club video was not on my 2024 bingo card

Immediate subscribe 😅 you summed it up perfectly lol

WAKE UP PEOPLE WE GOT A NEW VIDEO

so for minimum wage: anything under federal minimum wage which is 7.25 is seen as below minimum wage. so $10 an hour is above minimum wage and is not illegal.

I cringe every time the name “Atlas” is said because I reminds me of reading Wattpad stories (probably way too young) and that is definitely a name a 14 year old would think was a cool bad boy name. I can bet you real money I read a Wattpad story where the male love interest was named “Atlas King”. Also I know someone who owns a Donkey named Atlas so it is just a ridiculous name for a person to me. Also love all the “Ellen photos”. I burst out laughing out load in the car and scared my mom.😂
