BookTok is a big place. While there are books that get mentioned over and over on BookTok, there are also TikTok accounts that recommends books beyond the Colleen Hoovers and Taylor Jenkins Reids of the world. I would actually spend some time looking for TikTok accounts that focuses on books that align more with your own tastes. BookTok has some good recommendations but you might need to dig a little deeper to find them.

Ya, I feel like people to judge booktok go straight for Colleen Hoover and Taylor Jenkins Reid specifically but don't think about the other extremely popular books like Song of Achilles, The Secret History, and A Little Life, where it takes slightly longer to get into but has a drastically different vibe than Ugly Love or Daisy Jones
