    The next time you get a romance kick you NEED to read Abby Jimenez!!! Her and Emily Henry are the reigning traditionally published romance queens for me at the moment

    emily henry has cemented herself as my favorite romance writer by far!! she really grounds her romances and other relationships in the books with a level of reality that just fills me with all the feels and i feel so connected to her characters’ struggles, and obviously the romantic pacing is top notch

      I am also not a romance reader, but having read Emily Henry, she has earned my readership. She has such smart writing in her romance books. Up until her, I had never given a romance book anything higher than 3 stars, I gave Funny Story 4 stars.

    I just did the same thing! Read Book Lovers around a year ago and loved it, then read Funny Story when it came out, and decided about a week ago to just binge all Emily Henry books. I am currently reading Happy Place which is the last one left of her romances. For now, Book Lovers is still at the top, followed by Funny Story, then People We Meet on Vacation, then Beach Read. Funny Story is the only one I didn't do on audiobook, so I might revisit for that experience alone. PWMOV was such an addictive read, though. I did not know I liked friends to lovers until this book.

    Happy Place was literally my unhappy place, because the entire book wouldn't exist if everyone would just Talk. To. Each. Other. I was so frustrated the whole time and just couldn't enjoy it.
    However, I love all of her other books. PWMOV is a fave bc I looooove friends to lovers.

      Yesss I felt the same! Like I still rated it three stars because Emily Henry’s writing, but I did not enjoy reading it because it honestly felt frustrating and kind of bleak the whole time. And the more I thought about the ending, the angrier I got at Harriet lol.

  • @FranFellow731
    @FranFellow731 5 місяців тому +1

    I didn’t expect to love happy place because everyone was complaining about how they just needed to actually talk to each other if they’re really that good of friends. But it made me cry because as someone who had a close friend group in college that all coupled off and don’t keep in touch as well as we used to, it was painfully relatable. You forget what you told each other already, you start being selective with what details you actually need to burden them with. You still think you know each other well, but so much has changed. I know the ending is controversial but I understood why she did it and it didn’t really bother me nor was I surprised.

    I had a really hard time with the friendships in Happy Place. I didn't see them as actually being close in present day, but more that they used to be close and were around each other just for old time's sake. They were all pretty manipulative in their lying to each other and I can't get behind that as any mark of an acceptable friendship.

    I really like Emily Henry but I really didn’t like Happy Place 😬 I liked the romance in it but I got so annoyed at how terrible the friendship group were and the fact that these people who have been friends for like 10 years literally can’t talk to each other about anything and I just couldn’t deal with it

    Girl, you are BREATHING romance in this one, whoa. :D Emily Henry is terrific. Also, for the next time the hyperfixation comes, try Carley Fortune. She's excellent at dramatic romance. Also, the "German show" got me too and season 2 is already announced and oh my gosh, the ANGST it's going to deliver is already making me a little insane.

    emily henry's books is like the best recipe to make a good romcom movie, wraps up so well each and every time even when it is very predictable. my new favorite is definitely funny story! with book lovers second. i did try reading "the people we meet on vacation" but i stopped since its not really that fun?? happy place is the worst book for me, the book felt too real but in the worse way possible, and the ending left me ripping my hairs out

  • @nikkim9014
    @nikkim9014 5 місяців тому

    This is off topic, but because of one of your other videos a while back, I read the Grace Draven Fallen Empire series. You have similar taste in romance as me and I'm obsessed with this series... well I was obsessed with the first one, the second one was lovely but not as good as the first, but I'm commenting mostly because I'm reading the third one now (Raven Unveiled) and that one is more on par with the first in terms of tension and drama and I'm loving it. I think you will, too (I don't know if you ever ended up getting to it). Don't know if you wanted more romance, but highly recommend finishing out the Fallen Empire series. It's Siora/Gharek from the second book and it's *chef's kiss*.
    More on topic, I love your Reading Vlogs even when I have no interest in the books because you're just such a joy to watch. (I generally don't even care for vlogs at all, let alone about books I'm not super interested in), but I still love having you on in the background while I'm cozy gaming. Thanks for the vibes!

  • @maggieprice357
    @maggieprice357 2 місяці тому

    I really enjoyed Beach Read, which was my first Emily Henry book. I’m currently reading Funny Story and I honestly don’t like it as much as Beach Read for some reason. I think I just connected with January as a character more than Daphne. I also find fake dating to be a bit childish in characters that are in their 30s (of which I am also). I can imagine doing something like that in my teens and even early 20s but I just can’t imagine doing it right now in my 30s. That probably makes it less enjoyable to me too. But I still love EH and how her romance books are really more about her main heroine’s personal growth than the romance itself. Her characters are extremely relatable. That opening scene in FS is so cringe 😂 I literally went, “ahhh!” To my husband out loud and had to explain.

Daphne was so relatable and Miles is just soooo nice. He is seriously one of the best male MC I've ever read. 🫠 May I also say, Emily Henry is a pro at writing physical touch haha! The chemistry was insane.

    I started EH with Happy Place and gave it 2 stars. I felt it was very predictable, like a rom com series or Hallmark movie. Rich friend who is the mom of the group, the artist lesbian and the brainiac who doesn’t take care of her appearance, the “broken up” characters are out in the large bedroom, I promise you when I was reading it I kept mumbling “I called it” and I rolled my eyes so much that I ended up having a headache.

    It's so funny that Book Lovers and Happy Place are top/bottom for everyone (for me Book Lovers is my fave and Happy Place my least fave (still 4 stars, amazing)). People who love Happy Love the most tend to put Book Lovers near the bottom. I'll have to ponder that...

      @samanthavelazquez3326 5 місяців тому +2

      all her books have a level of reality that grounds and supports the fun romance tropes (which i love) and i didn’t find book lovers to be sadder than others, so not sure how you will feel about others, but I think they all are worth reading for how well written the romances are. I had most fun reading funny story but I teared up at a part too, that may be best to try next since the premise really is funny

      @Anne-pm4dw 5 місяців тому

      I'd say yes, like the other commenter said they all have more serious issues that are covered besides the romance. But it might depend how depressing or heavy it is depending on the theme the book covers, some might hit harder than others depending on you own experiences, but they all have something like that.
