Hi guys! I never thought a video like this would be on my channel but look where we are!

*insert existential crisis here*

@khyleesi 2 года назад

I got into the romcom genre (in books because I’ve always liked this genre in movies) this year and it’s such a fun world to explore lol. If you’re interested in recommendations, I highly recommend It Happened One Summer by Tessa Bailey and The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren. 👉🥺👈

@marenhumblebee2736 2 года назад

I read all the Helen Hoang books. And I am quite an unusual person myself (sharing characteristics of some of her autistic characters) and my toddler son has been diagnosed with being on the Autism spectrum (like her child), and I am nearly the same age as Helen Hoang- so I can totally relate to her story, what she went through, and some of the stuff her characters go through, too. In fact a lot of the stuff they go through seem like she knows me and copy-pasted stuff from my life and mind and put them in her books... BUT to be honest, while I enjoyed "moments" within the stories in these books (and found them generally entertaining as a whole) ... those moments are always related to the representations of Asian or Asian-American cultural practices- never to the very weak (in my opinion) plots, the also weak-ish romances and the strange (bordering on problematic, because weirdly superficial and too "optimistic") representation of autism. But I am not criticising her, at all, in that regard. I just feel autism is such an annoyingly challenging disorder to successfully represent- especially by only telling stories about such people on the spectrum, who barely even require any assistance in order to manage to submit themselves successfully to the demands of society. Essentially it is ambivalent and she is being ambivalent about it, but somehow that has its problems- still. I just wanted to say: the books are cute, but in every way VERY LIGHT. I don't think they will leave any lasting impressions. I don't think they make good representations of the romance genre to get you hooked further into it. They are not very exciting. Cute, but a little too superficial regarding serious topics (and one of those serious topics being PASSION and LONGING). ^^

If you like the comedy aspect of Rom-Com books more than the Romance you should definitely try To Have and To Hoax by Martha Waters! It's a second chance romance but the protagonists had a love marriage but eventually fell out of love... You could also try You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle the first couple of chapters are a little slow but I had to physically put the book down to laugh my heart out ! Love your channel and have a great day !

@janaesmith9536 2 года назад

I didn’t like the Spanish Love Deception and I even dnf’ed it at some point and then picked it up again. To me I didn’t like the hero’s response to the sexism that the heroine face in their office; especially in the beginning where he basically told her to suck it up and stop complaining that part made me so angry and was the major reason why I dnf’ed it; also i felt no chemistry between the two characters and was tired of the whole “i’m an asshole and act indifferent and aloof to you but i actually liked and respected you all along” trope that the guy had

@caricanread 2 года назад

100000%! I thought the author would try to make it like 'i didnt want to fight your battle for you, im so sorry that i didnt stand up for you' but it was more like 'oh i just didnt think i had to say anything oops thought you were tough lol byeee"

@Hippolyta. 2 года назад

@stephaniem1107 2 года назад

Thank GOD I'm not alone in this opinion. I also found the heroine's attitude toward the hero as pretty grating at the start and is only lessened to mildly annoying at best.

The intro I am DYING. Love this - I'm super excited to get my hands on the Love Hypothesis. I'd also recommend Casey McQuisten's newest book, One Last Stop. And Beach Read and/or People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry, and The Kindred Spirits Supper Club by Amy E Reinhart. They've been my fave rom coms of late :)

@Mylifemyidolsmymusic 2 года назад

Read people we meet on vacation and you deserve each other, they're so funnny! I don't recommend u the kiss quotient books, bc u said u didn't enjoy reading so much steaminess, but the first one is the best, in case you want to give it a chance

@monicamerle1417 2 года назад

Cari: usually the romances that look more light hearted with fluffy illustrated cover are also the smuttiest. Not always but usually, like the Helen Huang books. I prefer second chance trope, friends to lovers, age gap trope and hard hitting emotional ones dealing with heavy issues in the plot and not only the physical attraction, though I don't mind smutty scenes if they're written well. But there's a lot of cringe in contemporary adult romance books nowadays. My favorite ones are all books that I cried with: On the Island (tracy garvis graves), The two lives of lydia bird (josie silver), the idea of you (robinne Lee), beach read (emily henry), the flatshare (beth o'leary), love and other words (Christina Lauren), well met (jen de luca), say you'll still love me (k a Tucker), forever interrupted & one true loves (Taylor Jenkins Reid) to name some 🤗

I’m currently reading the love hypothesis and have not read the last book but can’t wait to see what I think of them. Thank you for the video… really trusting your reviews will match to my taste.

@holly4414 2 года назад

I’ve been waiting for this review!! From your description of the first book I think you’d like The Flat Share. It’s set in London and very cute and funny with a unique writing style for the male POV. Both characters also have lives outside of their romance too which was really enjoyable. I also finished The Spanish Love Deception at the weekend and thought it was really bad for exactly the same reasons as you! The excessive use of ‘baby’ was making me physically recoil at my book by the end. The sexism also just felt like a badly done plot point to create some conflict but wasn’t well developed enough.

cari i love your content and this descent into madness?wonderland? ie: romance books, i am living for!! i recently read project hail mary on your recommendation and it’s not a genre of book i typically read but i LOVED IT SO MUCH!! so thank you. and as a big fan of romance books myself i’m delighted you’re diving in! i was also delighted by the intro of the video, please keep that energy up!! 🤣 i had to pause the video to go to dinner but i can’t wait to see what you thought of one of my faves, red white and royal blue. but even if it didn’t hit you the way it did me, that’s okay too! insert antoni polanski gif here: “reading a book is something that can actually be so personal” love and refreshed by you 💜 OH i also don’t like the pet name baby! although taylor swift does use it a lot which makes me doubt myself because she knows/uses words way better than me so if it’s one she likes maybe it should be allowed!

bahahah thank you so much and enjoy dinner!! i feel like in a song its okay but reading it in dialogue or god-forbid hearing it spoken outloud is BLEGH

alright 🪱/🐌 it is then! i’m so glad you enjoyed red white and royal blue! it is SO funny and THE EMAILS CARI!!! they one hit ko’ed me. i also love the supporting characters their love and willingness to support each other was lovely. my recommendation for another queer rom com for you to read is boyfriend material by alexis hall. the audiobook is divine and had me laughing out loud just like red white and royal blue did. plus its less steamy than rw&b. hope you have a great day 🪱
