Stephanie Meyer got a lot of hate back in the day as well, maybe even more than Colleen Hoover tbh

For ostensively the same reason but in my opinion, Colleen Hoover is worse. I’ve read two. I read the first because it was everywhere and on lots of lists and it was horrible. Badly written badly plotted with terrible characters. I read the second in case the first was a fluke. Nope. I read Twilight for the same reason (it’s popularity) and also thought it was far from good, and the plot was also problematic at times (having to do with the creeper Edwards treatment of Bella mostly) but I could at least appreciate what teen girls liked about it. There was at least a story there.

I seriously do not understand who is loving Colleen Hoover. She writes psychopaths who victimize others and then have sex. There’s some abuse or murder and more sex and then it’s over. Who is enjoying this? If you’re there for the erotica, there are way better ways to get it.

Twilight was ridiculed mercilessly for being so crappy. Now it's Coho's turn.
