When a book is so bad it makes you hate reading

from Booked & Bothered

Red Rising by Pierce Brown (pt 2)Tired of pretending that “diverse” bestseller wasn’t a hot mess of tokenism and plot holes? Yeah, us too. That’s why we buddy read books and absolutely demolish them (with love), diving deep into whether women and queer characters actually get the representation they deserve or if we're just getting fed the same tired bullshit in a prettier package. We’re here for the messy details everyone’s too polite to mention — brilliant writing or basic bullshit, coherent plot or complete chaos, dimensional characters or just disappointment.. We don’t do nice just because a book is popular. The best conversations happen when you’re honest about what sucks, because that’s how you figure out what actually slaps. Come for the spoilers, stay for us roasting that "life changing" book that was really just 400 pages of your life you’ll never get back. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
