“Gabby’s already f*cked because we all hated Middle of the Night” hahahaha if I knew a MILLION DOLLARS was on the line I would’ve picked a different book lmao 😂
I had to watch this video in bits because it is so so so good that I couldn’t digest it in one go. I needed to be fully present, paying attention in every sense, to take this content in. Thank you beyond much, Gavin, for creating a masterpiece. Especially the b roll of us in the introduction. The second it said “featuring GabbyReads” I knew this would be a ten star video
As an asexual person of size who has always felt just a tad unlovable because of those things, this book meant quite a bit to me, it's one of the few times I felt truly seen in a book, so I was glad to hear y'all enjoyed it. I was in tears so many times throughout, really so gorgeous.
Legitimately, no hyperbole, I think this might be the best video I've ever seen on Booktube. Probably doesn't hurt that I read this book in July and it's going to be in my top ten of the year for sure, but the editing, the way you guys all react to the book, the quotes. It was all just a pure shot of dopamine directly to the pleasure centers of my brain. I really really hope you guys do another three of these!
Omg you have no idea how much I needed this joy right now. My grandmother just passed away half an hour ago and I’ve been watching this video to try and not freak out. Seeing this comment made me smile. Even through the tears. So thank you so so so much 🤗
@@KatieColson I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss my dear 🖤 I’m sure she passed on knowing how loved she is, which is all you can really ask for.. love you girl, hang in there. I hope youre Doing as well as can be expected.
I was so glad you talked about it too. I was like “omg I will choose to believe that Gavin knew this had asexual rep and chose it as a gift to Gabby and I” ha
As someone who cannot outwardly convey emotions well, it’s cathartic to watch Katie react to a book she’s loving because it’s what’s bottled inside of me when I’m internally screaming crying throwing up loving a book.
When Katie has strong feelings about a book (positive or negative) it is the best thing on the internet. Her reactions made me want to pick this book up. I love this series of videos. 🧡
Less than two minutes in....'How can we make this a game? How can we really screw someone over? ...I should probably have told Gabby and Katie about that first." Gavin, this is exactly why I watch your full feature films.
Okay I finally read the book so I came back to watch, I literally can't wait. I personally loved the book, 5 fricken stars. One of my favs of the year.
Well…I wasn’t planning to read this book 😆, but now I feel like I must after the energy and exuberance towards this story. The three of you reviewing this book together was perfection! 🫰🏻👌🏼💕
(Gave I swear you to god you killed it on the editing okay, I'm in awe in so much of this video you're incredible) John Wisewell is an icon and for sure got a reader for life outta me. Also this book really does have so many good quotes. The body horror in this book is wildin'. I cannot watch body horror like saw movies but I can read it and not bat an eyelash, my brain refuses to let me see it so I remain unbothered (I still recognize that it's horror though) not seeing it in my brain helps. THE WAY HOMMILY TREATS SHESHESHEN IS IMPECCABLE. I was kicking my feet. You have no idea. When Shesheshen is like "I'm so glad I fell off a cliff" I squealed. I don't do that often. Not me snapping at all the quotes y'all are picking out. The audio book is ICONIC. Not the intermission with Katie when I know damn well what happens but also I had these EXACT thoughts when I was reading it. Look Gav, leave Katie and I to our intermission thoughts okay bestie. Katie's reaction to this book is my exact reaction!!!! I'm so obsessed with it. The supper was my least fav part of the book but omg Gav my brain was thinking the lung was like a grocery store bag and she just tied off this bag with wine and in and shove it in her boot and I'm sitting there like that's gonna bust babe, and not in a pleasing way that's gonna make a mess you don't want. YES GABBY WHEN SHE GROWS A HEART OMG! Omg don't get me started on Homilys family. DON'T GET ME STARTED. Every time Shesheshen is like I wanna eat her mom I'm like yes please do and hurry up with it. She needs to be GONE. Yeees Gabby more great quotes. OMG GAV YOU'RE SO RIGHT OKAY the mom is JUST like Frollo!!!! GAV PLEASE NOT DO THE ROAR LMAOOOO. The asexual rep made my heart scream to the high heavens. I lost my shit. Lmao I love that Katie keeps saying this is written by a man and the way I CACKLED when she was like "this was written by a man named John". It was the most wonderful ending too, it truly wrapped it up in the most beautiful way where they continue to confront trauma and grief. The way they make space and room for each other to heal and grow both literally and metaphorically. That's love. That's real love. I also love the idea that we are all monstrous in our own ways but we are more than just those parts of ourselves and we can learn and grow.
Gavin, this series is so brilliant I'm LOVING ITTT!💕 There's just something so infinitely cozy about seeing a reading vlog from three different readers in one big video! Love the idea, love the execution.✨
3 of my favorite UA-camrs in one video.. Yes please! I didn’t think I was gonna want to read this book but 10 mins in I decided I did. Library hold is in. See you in a week or so! 😂
Woww, this book was on my tbr since it came out, but now seeing you guy's reaction are making me want to read it rn!!! -wait i's DEBUTE???????????????????? amazing!
30 mins into this video- Gabby: just surprised it’s a fantasy. Having a great time. Gavin: Wtf is going on Katie: Loooooooooooooooooove 😂😂 I love this video concept. The amount of time that all of you put into this. Thank you. (And please do it again)
Listening to you describe it as "gross but in a cute and cozy way" on a live show made me really want to pick it up. Otherwise I would have never read it bc of the horror element. But then you said, you were gonna finish the vlog the next day and I thought: Shit, gotta do an all nighter and read the whole thing. And I did. And I have no regrets. I loved it. This video is amazing. Loved all of your reactions and the editing is chef's kiss ❤
I am not a horror girlie, but watching you all enjoy a book so passionately has just made me put this on my TBR list!! Great video, cant wait for Katie's now 🤍
The body horror might truly keep me from reading this - MAYBE I'll give it a try. But I figured I'd come here to say; Gavin editing Katie was HILARIOUS, Katie IS funny and wonderful on her own, but with Gavin's editing - top SHELF. Omg. And Gabby, I absolutely love and appreciate how you talk about elements of books :3 You all three are so fantastic and wonderful and this video was an absolute treat
Watching this was my favorite hour of the week, it brought me so much joy! Incredible editing too, thank you Gavin. The three of you made a very hard day so much better. ❤
I'm only 15 minutes in, but I hope you all love this book!! Gavin, your editing is top-tier, as always lol. EDIT: I am soooooo glad you all enjoyed this book!!!!!!!!! Katie loving this book so much has made me want to read it IMMEDIATELY ~
I'm in that painful spot where I was enjoying the hell out of this video but I had to stop because y'all did too good of a review and now I need to read it.
I love this video (concept) so much! I love that you edited all of your guys' thoughts together because it makes it so much more entertaining! This must have taken you so much time to edit!
Amazing video. I could never read the book because of the horror, so thank you all for reading it for me and giving me this story. I’ve recommended it to all my horror reading friends 😆
26 minutes in and loving every second of it... but if Katie doesn't change her smoke alarm battery soon, I'm going back in time to order her some dang batteries. 😂
When I started the video I had no idea what the book was about or cared about being spoiled….10 minutes in and I had to pause and immediately buy the book so I can read it before finishing the video 😂
haha I'm so sorry. I can't do Horror. Love your videos, but even ya'lls descriptions were too much for me. haha. I'll catch the next one. Love your content.
What a beautiful book. I actually read the parts along with this video and it was so much fun❤ almost like a book club😊 thank you so much for this wonderful recommendation. My new favorite author 😊😊
Haha, I remember talking about this book on your patreon and how awesome and out of my comfort zone it was. I was hoping so much that you’d pick it up because I was sure you’d love it. Never would I have thought that you buddy read it and all of you like it so much ❤ It’s such a skillfully written book !!! I’m ace and there are not many books out there where I feel seen. This one? Oh yes !!
I’ve been looking forward to this! I loved reading this book for summerween. It may not be perfect for everyone but I found it unique, vulnerable and comforting. This is what “cozy” means to me. ❤
I love this video format! I'm treating it like a book club. I just read part 1 and part 2 and watched the first part of this vid. Now I'm excited to finish the book so I can watch the rest of this vid!
“Gabby’s already f*cked because we all hated Middle of the Night” hahahaha if I knew a MILLION DOLLARS was on the line I would’ve picked a different book lmao 😂
Take a shot for every mispronunciation of ‘Shesheshen’ we do. You’ll be dead by minute 8 😂😂😂
Adding the clips of you editing responding to Katie has me dying hahaha 😂
the "she's crazy" comment from editing Gav about katie's constant rereading made me cackle 💀 editing Gav comments are the best
Katie does THE MOST 😂
HAHAHA! I loved that. Tell me he really watches my channel without telling me he really watches my channel 😊
I had to watch this video in bits because it is so so so good that I couldn’t digest it in one go. I needed to be fully present, paying attention in every sense, to take this content in. Thank you beyond much, Gavin, for creating a masterpiece. Especially the b roll of us in the introduction. The second it said “featuring GabbyReads” I knew this would be a ten star video
Gavin your EDITING in this video oh my god 👏👏👏 so amazing and it flows so well!!! 10/10 all the Oscar’s to you
As an asexual person of size who has always felt just a tad unlovable because of those things, this book meant quite a bit to me, it's one of the few times I felt truly seen in a book, so I was glad to hear y'all enjoyed it. I was in tears so many times throughout, really so gorgeous.
Oh I know this feeling!
Legitimately, no hyperbole, I think this might be the best video I've ever seen on Booktube. Probably doesn't hurt that I read this book in July and it's going to be in my top ten of the year for sure, but the editing, the way you guys all react to the book, the quotes. It was all just a pure shot of dopamine directly to the pleasure centers of my brain.
I really really hope you guys do another three of these!
@@theanswerisbooks thank you so much 🫶🏼
Will you do this again? Love
It was so well constructed and edited ❤ same. A new fav for sure
The way I cackled when you segue to “I hope we don’t get tentacle porn” when Gabby and Katie shared heartfelt, cutesy takeaways (part 3 & 4). 😂
Gabby & Katie finishing the book, while Gavin hasn't even started it - too busy making the perfect coffee! Love it
I’m already halfway through the video and the content is amazing!!! Petition for you three to make this a regular thing!
I SWEAR KATIE IS THE MOST CHAOTIC HUMOROUS BOOKTUBER! I LITERALLY DIE AT EVERYTHING SHE SAYS
Yesss she’s so funny!!
Omg you have no idea how much I needed this joy right now. My grandmother just passed away half an hour ago and I’ve been watching this video to try and not freak out. Seeing this comment made me smile. Even through the tears. So thank you so so so much 🤗
@@KatieColson I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss my dear 🖤 I’m sure she passed on knowing how loved she is, which is all you can really ask for.. love you girl, hang in there. I hope youre Doing as well as can be expected.
Every man named Mike is currently on the ground! 😂😂😂
46:30 me and Katie freaking out over the asexual rep is so sweet 🥹😭
I was so glad you talked about it too. I was like “omg I will choose to believe that Gavin knew this had asexual rep and chose it as a gift to Gabby and I” ha
As someone who cannot outwardly convey emotions well, it’s cathartic to watch Katie react to a book she’s loving because it’s what’s bottled inside of me when I’m internally screaming crying throwing up loving a book.
John watching Katie's review like 🧍🏻♂
You’re indeed a surprising blend of horror (after chugging 2 bottles of Prosecco) and wholesomeness (being a cat dad)
When Katie has strong feelings about a book (positive or negative) it is the best thing on the internet. Her reactions made me want to pick this book up.
I love this series of videos. 🧡
Omg BOWEN! Thank you so freaking much. This is so sweet😊
Seeing Katie's reaction at the beginning of this video made me want to read the book! I'll be back in 320 pages 😉
I'm back ! 4 ⭐
Had a great time with this book !
Love Blueberry 🫐❤️
This video concept is genuis. The three of you are iconic. The three of you together are goals.
Just finished it awww I love that we all ended up loving it a lot 🥹 I am also cracking up that Katie thought I wouldn’t like it ahha 😂
I love how in the beginning all three of you pronounced the main character’s name wayyyyyy differently will never not be funny to me😂
I really hope you guys keep going with this series! It was fantastic! ❤
The ace rep was everything
Watching the whole video but still putting this on my TBR, I’m sure I’ll forget everything about it by the time I get it from my library 😂
I have GOT to watch this and find out what the hell a “cozy horror fantasy” is 😂😂😂
Less than two minutes in....'How can we make this a game? How can we really screw someone over? ...I should probably have told Gabby and Katie about that first." Gavin, this is exactly why I watch your full feature films.
5:48 Katie is so funny😂😂
9:19 THE CUTOFF 😂
I LOVED the way you spliced in Katie and Gabby's reactions. Can't wait to see the next video that comes out in this series
Okay I finally read the book so I came back to watch, I literally can't wait. I personally loved the book, 5 fricken stars. One of my favs of the year.
Not Katie’s smoke alarm chirping in all of her clips 😂😂😂
39:00 yessss I also got Shrek vibes from this book!! I wish I would’ve said that haha that’s on point
"Do the roar!" 😂 The youngest sister reminded me so much of Robin Arryn from GoT. Sooo... wasn't too sad about her fate 😅
I love this collaboration together. It was so fun! 😊
lol I love editing Gavin and Katie 😂!
Well…I wasn’t planning to read this book 😆, but now I feel like I must after the energy and exuberance towards this story. The three of you reviewing this book together was perfection! 🫰🏻👌🏼💕
thanks for making me read the book I agree with everything Katie said!
I do love these kind of vlogs, I hope you guys never stop!
THE GAVIN KATIE DYNAMIC IS SO HILARIOUS!! I NEED MORE OF THESE 3 TOGETHER!!
Awwwwwwww this (bestie’s version) vlog series is the cutest 🤗🥹
Katie was absolutely priceless in this collab!
omg I had to pause because i was laughing so hard at the transition at 5:40 🤣 Editing is on POINT!

I love Katie’s face expressions throughout this video. Made me chuckle
while this book isn't my cup of tea, I was invested while watching this video, wanting to know what happens to the characters lol great job everyone.
We love a Booktube Besties Moment 👏🏽
SOLIDARITYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I love this series! Please, please do another round!
Okay that’s it I’m reading this book because of Katie.
Gavin, this series is so brilliant I'm LOVING ITTT!💕

“Oh she’s crazy” 😂😂😂 Katie is me when she gets hyperfixated.
I almost DROPPED MY PHONE cause I thought that cat toy in the background was a giant spider for a second 😂😂😂
@@michellecgb SAME

EDIT: I am soooooo glad you all enjoyed this book!!!!!!!!! Katie loving this book so much has made me want to read it IMMEDIATELY ~
I looove this video series! Please keep doing them! ❤ y’all are the best!
This book sounds so good, I have to stop the video and go read the book before I hear/watch the end 🧑🏫
I’m so excited! Been anxious for this collab since you guys first mentioned it!
I'm in that painful spot where I was enjoying the hell out of this video but I had to stop because y'all did too good of a review and now I need to read it.
Omg this video was so fun!!! Yes, I added this to my TBR after watching only 10 minutes of this.
Love the opening clips where the ladies finish their books in the time it takes Gavin to finish making a coffee 🤣
Just read this with guys you and it was so much fun! Also loved the book😍
I love this video (concept) so much! I love that you edited all of your guys' thoughts together because it makes it so much more entertaining! This must have taken you so much time to edit!
The fact Katie can't get over the fact this book was written by a MAN, "a man named JOHN!" 🤣
This is great, i wish more booktube videos were like this
Katie’s reactions are everything. ❤❤❤
LOVING this series
This video was so wholesome! It's an honor to witness your true friendship in this way.
Whoever "wins" the best read has to make the other 2 read a book the winner picks. Or the losers buy the winner a book!
Amazing video. I could never read the book because of the horror, so thank you all for reading it for me and giving me this story. I’ve recommended it to all my horror reading friends 😆
This has got to be one of the most fun videos I’ve ever watched! Loved it! You guys are great!
26 minutes in and loving every second of it... but if Katie doesn't change her smoke alarm battery soon, I'm going back in time to order her some dang batteries. 😂
@@taintedcrimson I genuinely never even heard it and I edited this 😅
@@taintedcrimson 100% 😂😂😂. I kept thinking it was my smoke alarm then I noticed it was only during Katie’s parts - girl change your battery 😂😂😂
This is such a great video idea, you should do this a few times a year, love it!
i love these collabs!
They're a lot of fun to do :)
When I started the video I had no idea what the book was about or cared about being spoiled….10 minutes in and I had to pause and immediately buy the book so I can read it before finishing the video 😂
Okay this book sounds so
Good!!
haha I'm so sorry. I can't do Horror. Love your videos, but even ya'lls descriptions were too much for me. haha. I'll catch the next one. Love your content.
amazing video, i hope this becomes a regular thing
What a beautiful book. I actually read the parts along with this video and it was so much fun❤ almost like a book club😊 thank you so much for this wonderful recommendation. My new favorite author 😊😊
LOVING Katie's theorizing
This was so much fun!!
This series is the best! I’ve enjoyed the first two videos so much.
And oh boy, you’ve SOLD me on this book. Can’t wait to read it
Haha, I remember talking about this book on your patreon and how awesome and out of my comfort zone it was. I was hoping so much that you’d pick it up because I was sure you’d love it.
Never would I have thought that you buddy read it and all of you like it so much ❤
It’s such a skillfully written book !!! I’m ace and there are not many books out there where I feel seen. This one? Oh yes !!
You convinced me and I just ordered the book, cozy horror? Sign me up!
I’ve been looking forward to this! I loved reading this book for summerween. It may not be perfect for everyone but I found it unique, vulnerable and comforting. This is what “cozy” means to me. ❤
I love this video format! I'm treating it like a book club. I just read part 1 and part 2 and watched the first part of this vid. Now I'm excited to finish the book so I can watch the rest of this vid!
Finished the book and the vid! Loved them both so freakin much ❤😊
Loving this series. Such a great concept
So Kayla should read this
