I feel like social media and booktok by nature overhype books so much that I am nearly always disappointed.
I really liked seven husbands - the writing is very readable and I was hooked for longer time in one sitting than usual with reading books and story is good. But did it change my life like booktok promised? No. I admit it didn't even get me emotional like all the reviewers promised.
And I worked out the twist very soon into the book - so early that I thought that there was another twist coming. When I found out that that twist was THE twist, it was a little anticlimactic.
But it is a very good fun book to read.

Usually if I can't get it from the library and really want to read it, I'll buy it. Usually if its a new release I want to read ASAP or something a little more obscure and is unavailable at my library.
I like collecting books, just don't have the money to buy every book I read. I also ask for books for Christmas and my birthday.

Right now I have 6 books going at the same time (eek!). I usually have around 4: one digital, one physical, an audiobook and a nonfiction for my degree/work.

You can check trigger warnings for books on storygraph! Most are user/reader submitted.

Me too. I feel like this book will adapt to a show very well!
