Yeah I noticed this. I’m the opposite, I can’t read romance books and I like darker themes like mysteries etc

I’m not a writing expert but even I can tell the writing is shit when Evelyn would go “that day I was wearing a pale blue v neck sweater that accentuated my chest with this type of necklace and hairstyle” about something that happened 50 years ago. It really bugged me cause it felt forced and not natural at all.

My problem with goodreads is that I rely too much on their reviews and I could miss out on books I could actually enjoy just because I might be put off by some of the reviews. Though a lot of the negative reviews I was reading were right to be fair.
