But I watched the whole video yesterday and it seemed Completely fine for YT. There's so much worse on here. I guess UA-cam/Google hated the books as much as we did
@@1989TaylorsVersiom seriously. parents are worried about their kids having unrestricted internet access when Colleen hoover is r0tting their brains much more than anything on here lol ( that is an exaggeration but I’d say her books are just as bad, if not worse sometimes )
That’s so fcking accurate 😂😂😂 I read my first CH book last week because the curiosity was killing me. However, after reading it, I’m certain it killed some part of my brain. I feel genuinely less intelligent after consuming it. 😂 it’s wattpad fiction for adults. It’s junkfood reading.
It’s definitely worth noting that in ugly love right after they made fun of their son’s big balls their car went into a river and he died. So that’s the last thing they said to him ❤️ beautiful Oh also they’re step siblings
While I agree with your criticism for the most part, it is accurate that when parents have newborn baby boys the anatomy is discussed. We’ve had 3 and it’s a common conversation 😂 as well as among my friends who have had boys. 🤷♀️
I decided to pick up that book the week right after Ellen's allegations on her ab*se at work came out so imagine how caught off guard i was when i saw her name in that book 😭😭 I literally had to put it down and think about all my life decisions that lead up to me reading it
I was literally like "wait isn't that the incest one?" and then I was confused bc carley didn't mention it and I thought I had fever-dreamt that part lol
The “son’s big balls” quote is even wilder in context 😭 that joke is the catalyst for the car accident that kills their baby like he’s so distracted by the joke and by his son’s big balls that he causes a car accident it’s insane
it reminds of how in the ringu series (i think it was called 'spiral') the main character is performing an autopsy on a man and says 'the testicles looked cutely adorable'
The wildest part of the CoHo phenomenon to me is that she writes these romanticizations of abusive/toxic relationships after having worked as a SOCIAL WORKER.
Yeah, her having been a social worker doesn't mean she was a particularly sensitive one, y'know? This is purely speculation, but we don't know if maybe she draws on former clients' cases for material, and if she does we don't know to what extent. I'd be so upset if I learned that someone had taken my trauma and spun it as a romance (for profit, no less)! That said, as someone with trauma who is surrounded by other traumatized people, I understand how getting bits and pieces of it all out can be cathartic, as would framing it in a way that makes her/her readers feel like they're in control of the situation even if that framing is detrimental in the long run. I've read some Hoover-level drama in my time, and sometimes it helps me process bad stuff somehow. P.s.: I hope this comment doesn't come across as disparaging of social workers, counselors, advocates, etc! Most of the ones I've worked with are wonderful and have saved me during my lowest points. I salute you all!
@@taylordee641 Your comment was very sensitive! I've been through trauma as well and while I've never read a Colleen Hoover book, I like dark romance. That genre would not have been particularly healthy for me when I was still "recovering" from being in and searching out toxic relationship but nowadays I enjoy it.

Hey thanks for taking one for the team and analyzing these pressing matters. I’ve always wanted to know the tea about her but could never bring myself to read the books so thank you ily
Fun extra fact with Nov 9; Ben *assume* his mom committed unalive over a breakup, but we never actually know if the parents were dating. There's lots of signs they were just friends who Ben assumed after seeing they texted each other. And shortly after the mom's death, Ben sees the dad being sad and thinks he doesn't deserve to with Ben's assumption of things, and that's why he starts the car fire that becomes the house fire that ruins Fallon s life. It's only later, right before Ben is seeing the news report about the fire, that his brother goes hey have you read the note, and the note explains no the mom had terminal cancer and didn't want to stick her kids with the medical bills. And just took actions first instead of telling her kids her plan??? Also wild you didn't even mention Ben dating his brother's widow for a year just after that brother died.
I recently made the unfortunate decision to read her book “Too Late” because I hadn’t seen many people make videos on it so I felt a glimmer of hope but I was appalled by how genuinely awful it was 😭😭
@@aislingkennelly850 I NEED to know the story line. Villianise CH's writing as much as possible and call that book shitty please, when you tell me the storyline 'cause I'm a #cohohater to my core
@@daidipyaa omg so basically the book literally starts off with an assault scene (massive TW for that and it’s continuous throughout the book ew) then u learn it’s about a girl called Sloan which is actually a pretty name but anyway and she lives with her bf who’s a drug dealer and she puts up with him and his awful abuse to save her brother who’s sick and she has no source of income 😭 then she’s basically “rescued” by an undercover detective and they start a secret relationship but it’s just so badly written it’s unbearable and there’s no connection to the characters i just hated it so much lmaooo i feel like the actual story had potential but CoHo has zero writing skills and continues to prove that with all of her books❤️ there’s so much unnecessary violence and assault it really added nothing to the story, i’m all for authors writing about dark and even taboo topics if they do it correctly, but she does not. last thing i’ll say is i hated the unnecessary violence against Sloan because it felt like we the readers are meant to root for her relationship with the detective guy who “saves” her, but she’s been so abused and all the men are so awful besides mr. detective that i’m like of course she’s going to like him he’s the only “decent human” in the story, but he still has a position of power over her and abuses that… and don’t even get me started on the lack of female characters and if there are any they’re seen as “competition” unless we’re explicitly told they’re not like the detectives work partner 😭😭 this is such a long comment so i hope it answers your question lol!!
Love how every Carley video gets age restricted for no reason so we get the little sneak peek when it’s up for like 1/2 an hour and then we have to wait for a day gaslighting ourselves into thinking that video didn’t exist and then it reappears so we can watch it in full 🤩🤩🤩
@@iris_0404 It’s about a couple who get attacked and shot at their home by the guy’s obsessive ex-girlfriend. (The ex-girlfriend is shot in self-defense and dies on the spot) When the couple is saved, the girl (Layla) is not her usual self and she’s very anxious (well I wonder why the girl’s been shot and almost killed!) and the guy is just bored with her and cannot stand her anxiety. At the same time, a spirit called Willow appears at their home and starts to communicate with the guy asking for his help to figure out why she is trapped in that house and whether she’s dead or stuck in between or whatever..he allows the spirit to take over Layla’s body when Layla goes to sleep and starts to communicate with it through Layla’s body, and he falls out of love with Layla and gives no shits about her, gaslights her when she’s thinking that something’s wrong with her body and she’s not sleeping enough, ties her to the bed when she finds out what he’s been doing with Willow, and abuses her..all this because he falls in love with Willow (the spirit).. Spoiler Turns out Willow had been Layla’s soul trapped outside of a body while the embodied Layla was his ex-girlfriend’s soul taking over Layla’s body..all this justifies what he’s done to Layla and the abuse he’s led her through because wow turns out she is Willow and they are soulmates!!
@@iris_0404it’s about this guy in a band and he meets a girl, Layla, when he plays a wedding gig and they fall in love. He has a crazy ex who finds out about her and shows up and shoots Layla and the guy kills the ex. When Layla wakes up she’s super different and the guy (forget his name) takes her back to the place they met. Spooky things start happening and long story short, a ghost posses Layla’s body each night and the guy falls in love with the ghost. So he’s cheating on Layla with a ghost in Layla’s body. PLOT TWIST it is revealed that when the ex gf shot Layla and was killed, Layla actually died and her ghost went to the place she met the guy and the ex’s spirit went into Layla’s body. So the ghost is actually Layla and they have to kill Layla’s body in order to get the ex gf out of there.
BUT ALSO Layla post shooting is severely depressed and showing signs of ED. She doesn’t know she’s the killer ex gf. The guy ties her up while him and the ghost Layla figure out what to do
I'm a TA in English Literature (in a non-English-speaking country) and a TON of my students were shocked that I never read Colleen Hoover books and were like 'you *have to* they're sooo good' and I am so glad I never took that advice. Not to say that I don't read other literary trash, but this seems like a lot
The REAL twist of November 9 is not the arson reveal, it’s that his name isn’t just plain old Ben, because that would be too normal, his full name is *Benton*
It's because they market them towards young adult audiences as "romances" and young adults have no notion what a healthy relationship is like (I'm speaking from experience, I would've loved this crap if I was 13)
Glad Carley didn't have to actually read the books to make this video cuz this already must have been torture, imagine the whole thing! Thank you for your service really
1:10 WE HAVE OUR FIRST DEAD IN A DITCH (I live for these, the ditch pile grows, in direct proportion to my love for Carley's work and choice to give up her sanity for our entertainment)
I’m sorry. You skipped over the part in Nov. 9th where after he tells her he is the one that started the fire that brutally mutilated her body THEY END UP TOGETHER. And he knew who she was when he approached her and waited several years to tell her the truth. That book was absolutely insane. Like I genuinely hated it. Now that you’ve told me about verity and it ends with us, I have no reason to give Colleen Hoover another chance. I thank you kindly for your contribution to my reading list🖤
8:02 "THE CHOKE HOLD THIS BOOK HAS ON WOMEN MY AGE, IN THE AIRPORT" 🤣🤪😹 omg girl, I spit up my food listening to this gem of a quote!!!! thank you for putting it out into the either!!!!!!!!
Maybe one day Colleen will get some self reflection and use her wealth to fine an amazing therapist to help her unpack and get rid all of her internal misogyny.
Between uncarley, Nicole Rafiee, A Clockwork Reader, and Casey Aonso, I’ve had way too much Colleen Hoover exposure and now know the plot by heart of all of these books😭
I will never forget when I watched a tiktok about november 9 and was spoiled the “plot twist”. I literally just sat there baffled as to how anyone would read that and be like yes this is romance
amazing beautiful showstopping video as always but carley i can’t believe you didn’t acknowledge that ben of nov 9 fame is not just ben…nor is he benjamin…his full first name is BENTON
I'm so glad I found you. Because those covers look good so I almost went on reading them. There's also the Cassandra Clare ones, so it's very good to know I should NOT read those. Thank you for suffering through them for us! :D
@@uncarley I was joking you know we all just finished watching it for the 2nd time. I figured it was UA-cam or mean comments by how the video started. So I commented exactly what I did yesterday. ❤
I giggled so much at you calling "ashleigh" the Christian girl spelling LMAO. Like I just now Ashleigh leads her church's choir like it's the navy and makes a mean casserole
It Ends With Us was sold to me as a romance book and I had no idea what it was about. It’s so problematic that this story is sold / shown as a romance story. I enjoyed reading about the thought process of what goes on with people’s mind in these types of situations, but that’s it. Edit: I still wish I knew how heavy this book was, before getting into it.
The fact that I cried, sobbed and lurched at these small quotes from the books tells me how much sanity Carly sacrificed by reading them. Sending you lots of love, hope you recover ❤
Listening/watching this at the gym and I’m literally giggling by myself with so many strangers around 🤭 this was so good! 😂 proud to say I, too, have not picked up a CoHo book
I love reading suspenseful dramatic well written books. I have tried multiple times to give Colleen Hoover's books a chance and every single time I picked up one of her books i lost the smallest bit of my will to live
Watching this I remembered a few days ago I was reading smutty fanfiction and at some point my brain went "this b writes like Colleen Hoover" and went straight to sleep without finishing that thing.
Jennifer Coolidge once said that she thinks everyone should watch bad plays and read bad things because once she saw a really bad play on broadway and thought basically ‘if they’re employable, I’m certainly employable!’ But Colleen Hoover is too bad even for that purpose 😂
everytime i feel insecure about my writing im going to come back and rewatch this video because this is like a new york times best selling author, literally one of the most famous YA romance novel authors. And it looks like this.
I gave Coho so many chances. Read November 9, hate it. Read Ugly Love, hate it too. It ends with us, still hate it. I truly, honestly believe that this is for those who missed out on that Wattpad era with the fanfics and the sort. I have read better Wattpad writing than her books 🥲
I read It Ends with us when I was pretty young and didn't have any strong feelings about it, but then in my adulthood I have this weird little fetish where I read books which I know I'll hate cause I want to understand the jokes and oh my god the damages that I've done to myself-
Girlie last time you posted this,I went to grab dinner and when I came back,it was gone. Lmao I live for your book videos. I really miss your vlogs, are you planning on posting some?
@uncarley you don't have to do crazy things with your life to be interesting, I just found them very comforting, but absolutely do what you're comfortable with.❤
Can i just say, carley is a queen for responding to so many comments. Shes a real one. And ive only read one of colleens books, but im here for carley. 😊
I watched the November 9th part while laying in bed without my contacts. So holding my phone 6 inches from my face, I got to see a combo of Carley and Jimmy Fallon and it was slightly terrifying.

Hey thanks for taking one for the team and analyzing these pressing matters. I’ve always wanted to know the tea about her but could never bring myself to read the books so thank you ily
im so happy to save you the time
Fun extra fact with Nov 9; Ben *assume* his mom committed unalive over a breakup, but we never actually know if the parents were dating. There's lots of signs they were just friends who Ben assumed after seeing they texted each other. And shortly after the mom's death, Ben sees the dad being sad and thinks he doesn't deserve to with Ben's assumption of things, and that's why he starts the car fire that becomes the house fire that ruins Fallon s life.
It's only later, right before Ben is seeing the news report about the fire, that his brother goes hey have you read the note, and the note explains no the mom had terminal cancer and didn't want to stick her kids with the medical bills. And just took actions first instead of telling her kids her plan???
Also wild you didn't even mention Ben dating his brother's widow for a year just after that brother died.
the Jimmy Fallon photo hovering menacingly for a full two minutes behind Carley really sets the tone for the video
I just got to that part of the video and… yup… I’m typing this to avoid looking at his face.
Not Colleen giving me the courage to write books again after all these unhinged ones she has. I mean what the heck right lol
I recently made the unfortunate decision to read her book “Too Late” because I hadn’t seen many people make videos on it so I felt a glimmer of hope but I was appalled by how genuinely awful it was 😭😭
literally all her books seem UNHINGED
@@uncarleygirl they are 😭 it would be funny if u know there wasn’t all the ~romanticising of abuse~
@@aislingkennelly850 I NEED to know the story line. Villianise CH's writing as much as possible and call that book shitty please, when you tell me the storyline 'cause I'm a #cohohater to my core
@@daidipyaa omg so basically the book literally starts off with an assault scene (massive TW for that and it’s continuous throughout the book ew) then u learn it’s about a girl called Sloan which is actually a pretty name but anyway and she lives with her bf who’s a drug dealer and she puts up with him and his awful abuse to save her brother who’s sick and she has no source of income 😭 then she’s basically “rescued” by an undercover detective and they start a secret relationship but it’s just so badly written it’s unbearable and there’s no connection to the characters i just hated it so much lmaooo i feel like the actual story had potential but CoHo has zero writing skills and continues to prove that with all of her books❤️ there’s so much unnecessary violence and assault it really added nothing to the story, i’m all for authors writing about dark and even taboo topics if they do it correctly, but she does not. last thing i’ll say is i hated the unnecessary violence against Sloan because it felt like we the readers are meant to root for her relationship with the detective guy who “saves” her, but she’s been so abused and all the men are so awful besides mr. detective that i’m like of course she’s going to like him he’s the only “decent human” in the story, but he still has a position of power over her and abuses that… and don’t even get me started on the lack of female characters and if there are any they’re seen as “competition” unless we’re explicitly told they’re not like the detectives work partner 😭😭 this is such a long comment so i hope it answers your question lol!!
Wow Carley thanks for this wonderful new video that I have totally never seen before! :]
wow thank you so much i love posting new videos that have never been seen
Thank you so much for lifting this weight off my shoulders I will never have to think again about if I should read a Coleen Hoover book or not
im so happy to help
the laughing at their son's balls quote will always be living in my mind rent free (derogatory)
Please read the debut novel of Millie Bobby Brown so we don't have to.🙏🏻😂
idk if my brain cells can take it but i might have to
Yes please ❤❤❤
Love how every Carley video gets age restricted for no reason so we get the little sneak peek when it’s up for like 1/2 an hour and then we have to wait for a day gaslighting ourselves into thinking that video didn’t exist and then it reappears so we can watch it in full 🤩🤩🤩
im being SILENCED
@@uncarley Oprah found dead in a ditch
I feel like her book “Layla” is not hated enough I wish it was in this video, the world needs to know how fucked up it is
May i ask what it’s about ? I’ve seen it a lot and I’m curious
@@iris_0404 It’s about a couple who get attacked and shot at their home by the guy’s obsessive ex-girlfriend. (The ex-girlfriend is shot in self-defense and dies on the spot) When the couple is saved, the girl (Layla) is not her usual self and she’s very anxious (well I wonder why the girl’s been shot and almost killed!) and the guy is just bored with her and cannot stand her anxiety. At the same time, a spirit called Willow appears at their home and starts to communicate with the guy asking for his help to figure out why she is trapped in that house and whether she’s dead or stuck in between or whatever..he allows the spirit to take over Layla’s body when Layla goes to sleep and starts to communicate with it through Layla’s body, and he falls out of love with Layla and gives no shits about her, gaslights her when she’s thinking that something’s wrong with her body and she’s not sleeping enough, ties her to the bed when she finds out what he’s been doing with Willow, and abuses her..all this because he falls in love with Willow (the spirit)..
Spoiler
Turns out Willow had been Layla’s soul trapped outside of a body while the embodied Layla was his ex-girlfriend’s soul taking over Layla’s body..all this justifies what he’s done to Layla and the abuse he’s led her through because wow turns out she is Willow and they are soulmates!!
@@iris_0404it’s about this guy in a band and he meets a girl, Layla, when he plays a wedding gig and they fall in love. He has a crazy ex who finds out about her and shows up and shoots Layla and the guy kills the ex. When Layla wakes up she’s super different and the guy (forget his name) takes her back to the place they met. Spooky things start happening and long story short, a ghost posses Layla’s body each night and the guy falls in love with the ghost. So he’s cheating on Layla with a ghost in Layla’s body. PLOT TWIST it is revealed that when the ex gf shot Layla and was killed, Layla actually died and her ghost went to the place she met the guy and the ex’s spirit went into Layla’s body. So the ghost is actually Layla and they have to kill Layla’s body in order to get the ex gf out of there.
BUT ALSO Layla post shooting is severely depressed and showing signs of ED. She doesn’t know she’s the killer ex gf. The guy ties her up while him and the ghost Layla figure out what to do
@@chloegoulden5094 exactly it’s truly f’ed up
I'm a TA in English Literature (in a non-English-speaking country) and a TON of my students were shocked that I never read Colleen Hoover books and were like 'you *have to* they're sooo good' and I am so glad I never took that advice. Not to say that I don't read other literary trash, but this seems like a lot
The REAL twist of November 9 is not the arson reveal, it’s that his name isn’t just plain old Ben, because that would be too normal, his full name is *Benton*
BENTON
@@uncarley Benton James Kessler…
I've never read her books but im 99% sure half of the reason her books are popular are because the covers are so cute and aesthetically pleasing
yes absolutely they look GOOOD
It's because they market them towards young adult audiences as "romances" and young adults have no notion what a healthy relationship is like (I'm speaking from experience, I would've loved this crap if I was 13)
@@gabrielaharries8149 I definitely had a healthy notion of what a relationship is. I hated toxic romances when I was a teen ( except Twilight ofc)
no they r so tacky
Nice Pfp
Glad Carley didn't have to actually read the books to make this video cuz this already must have been torture, imagine the whole thing! Thank you for your service really
literally googling them was traumatizing enough
say what you want about Colleen Hoover but she does so much for women in literature. none of it is good, to be clear. but boy does she do it!
May you share? What had she done. I wanna know
casey AND carly both roasting colleen hoover is the energy I need in my life
1:50 Just because we disagree, doesn’t mean we have to disrespect each other. Exactly. ❤
1:10 WE HAVE OUR FIRST DEAD IN A DITCH (I live for these, the ditch pile grows, in direct proportion to my love for Carley's work and choice to give up her sanity for our entertainment)
the ditch pile will FOREVER grow
I’m sorry. You skipped over the part in Nov. 9th where after he tells her he is the one that started the fire that brutally mutilated her body THEY END UP TOGETHER. And he knew who she was when he approached her and waited several years to tell her the truth. That book was absolutely insane. Like I genuinely hated it. Now that you’ve told me about verity and it ends with us, I have no reason to give Colleen Hoover another chance. I thank you kindly for your contribution to my reading list🖤
8:02 "THE CHOKE HOLD THIS BOOK HAS ON WOMEN MY AGE, IN THE AIRPORT" 🤣🤪😹 omg girl, I spit up my food listening to this gem of a quote!!!! thank you for putting it out into the either!!!!!!!!
her yearly income has shone so much light as to why she sells these books ... she doesn't have to like them, she just has to write them 😂
thank you for the phrase "lobotomy literature." i will incorporate it into my vocabulary.
'Atlas Corrigan' sounds like either a YA protagonist, or a YA villain.
I did start reading her books when I was 15 and didn’t think much of it and now I finally realize how bad it was
oh no baby are you okay?
the jimmy fallon pic just chilling on the background while you’re talking about Nov 9 is taking me out 😂
Maybe one day Colleen will get some self reflection and use her wealth to fine an amazing therapist to help her unpack and get rid all of her internal misogyny.
I’ve got classmates who love CoHo and I absolutely die inside whenever they say that CoHo is such a good author 😭😭😭
i read verity after hearing that it was one of her best (if not THE best) books, and that was when i decided to never again trust a Coho stan
carley and casey aonso both having collen hoover book videos this month?? the stars are aligned
a collen hoover rant for only 24 mins?? WE NEED A PART 2
Between uncarley, Nicole Rafiee, A Clockwork Reader, and Casey Aonso, I’ve had way too much Colleen Hoover exposure and now know the plot by heart of all of these books😭
I will never forget when I watched a tiktok about november 9 and was spoiled the “plot twist”. I literally just sat there baffled as to how anyone would read that and be like yes this is romance
amazing beautiful showstopping video as always but carley i can’t believe you didn’t acknowledge that ben of nov 9 fame is not just ben…nor is he benjamin…his full first name is BENTON
I'm so glad I found you. Because those covers look good so I almost went on reading them.
There's also the Cassandra Clare ones, so it's very good to know I should NOT read those. Thank you for suffering through them for us! :D
the covers look good!
Whatttt???? Is this the matrix??? Didn't we do this yesterday? I love you Carley ❤❤❤
the video got age restricted so only people 18 and up could view because of my potty mouth so I reedited it
@@uncarley I was joking you know we all just finished watching it for the 2nd time. I figured it was UA-cam or mean comments by how the video started. So I commented exactly what I did yesterday. ❤
I giggled so much at you calling "ashleigh" the Christian girl spelling LMAO. Like I just now Ashleigh leads her church's choir like it's the navy and makes a mean casserole
YES
my mom literally walked into my room during the sex toy ad bye 😭 anyway this was such a fun watch!!
colleen hoover is certainly one of the authors of all time
The up dog slowly appearing behind the text im dead 💀💀 21:01
It Ends With Us was sold to me as a romance book and I had no idea what it was about. It’s so problematic that this story is sold / shown as a romance story. I enjoyed reading about the thought process of what goes on with people’s mind in these types of situations, but that’s it.
Edit: I still wish I knew how heavy this book was, before getting into it.
Glad to know I'm not the only one who started watching this and then couldn't find it at all
the video got age restricted because of my potty mouth so I re-editied it!
Lol nooo! Glad it's back!! I was on the edge of my seat!
watching 1/4 of this, setting up my dinner to eat with it and then coming back to see it age restricted was my joker 😀
literally same
REAL I was saving it for my lunch break yesterday and I had to eat my pasta while watching someone else on UA-cam
The fact that I cried, sobbed and lurched at these small quotes from the books tells me how much sanity Carly sacrificed by reading them. Sending you lots of love, hope you recover ❤
Listening/watching this at the gym and I’m literally giggling by myself with so many strangers around 🤭 this was so good! 😂 proud to say I, too, have not picked up a CoHo book
Work has been stressful and I’m so happy I’m watching this
i love this video so much! thank you carley (i haven’t watched it yet)
hahaha thank you
I love reading suspenseful dramatic well written books. I have tried multiple times to give Colleen Hoover's books a chance and every single time I picked up one of her books i lost the smallest bit of my will to live
SAME! i love suspense and a good pulpy popular book but the writing needs to be theree
Watching this I remembered a few days ago I was reading smutty fanfiction and at some point my brain went "this b writes like Colleen Hoover" and went straight to sleep without finishing that thing.
15:30 jokes on you, Ben is probably short for Bencephilitis
Hilarious that Carley didn't even read the books yet still managed to cook up a roast
Jennifer Coolidge once said that she thinks everyone should watch bad plays and read bad things because once she saw a really bad play on broadway and thought basically ‘if they’re employable, I’m certainly employable!’ But Colleen Hoover is too bad even for that purpose 😂
everytime i feel insecure about my writing im going to come back and rewatch this video because this is like a new york times best selling author, literally one of the most famous YA romance novel authors. And it looks like this.
this is the best content i've watched in the past 3 million years and for that i thank you
THE VIBRATOR AD IS JUST SO COLLEEN
I gave Coho so many chances. Read November 9, hate it. Read Ugly Love, hate it too. It ends with us, still hate it. I truly, honestly believe that this is for those who missed out on that Wattpad era with the fanfics and the sort. I have read better Wattpad writing than her books 🥲
I’m 15 and I have not had a fanfiction phase, and I still think her books are bad.
I read It Ends with us when I was pretty young and didn't have any strong feelings about it, but then in my adulthood I have this weird little fetish where I read books which I know I'll hate cause I want to understand the jokes and oh my god the damages that I've done to myself-
noooo
Girlie last time you posted this,I went to grab dinner and when I came back,it was gone. Lmao
I live for your book videos. I really miss your vlogs, are you planning on posting some?
im not averse to vlogging! my life is just less interesting than before!
@uncarley you don't have to do crazy things with your life to be interesting, I just found them very comforting, but absolutely do what you're comfortable with.❤
Let's not forget that Verity opens with the two main characters witnessing a man get run over and killed
Yessssss I saw the notif for this yesterday but it was gone by the time I clicked. I knew she would be back I had FAITH.
i will NOT be silenced!
Can i just say, carley is a queen for responding to so many comments. Shes a real one. And ive only read one of colleens books, but im here for carley. 😊
I watched the November 9th part while laying in bed without my contacts. So holding my phone 6 inches from my face, I got to see a combo of Carley and Jimmy Fallon and it was slightly terrifying.
