“your 🦅 is mine, your 🦅 is mine, and your 🦅 is mine”
capitalism!
If I hadn't watched the video before seeing this comment I would've thought eagles were part of the plot.
Haven't started the recap yet. Are eagles part of the plot?
@@anidiot674nope, they just censor things wondefully. in credence it was a banjo
WTF IS A KILOMETER!!!!!!🦅🗣🦅🦅🦅❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️🗣🦅🦅❗️❗️
loved this and i'm now very obsessed with the phrase "Central America, Country Unknown."
Awe man, it's gonna be one of those things I randomly quote in conversations and everyone around me is like "wtf are you talking about💀"
@@Misa.misatooh absolutely same
@@Misa.misatothat happens to me sm bro 😂😂
I laughed everytime she said that😂
Yes 😂
EVER since Stephanie Meyer came up with the cool concept of vampire eyes turning darker when hungry, EVERY dark romance guy has his eyes randomly darkening to add to the atmosphere
So that’s where it came from
I don't think that Meyer invented the concept (maybe, maaaaayyyybbbbee the phrasing). Some studies show that the pupils widen when in presence of someone attractive, which in turn "darken" the global apparence of the eyes.
@@aquaChampi yeah you might be right, it's just that the dark romance guys have their eyes "darkening" at truly random moments which do not call for the widening of pupils specifically. i was just joking about the Twilight thing
it's so frustrating, it doesn't even make sense
Oh no, romance has been obsessed with eyes darkening since god only knows when. It's one of those nonsensical ideas everyone just buys into, like how characters can just tell if someone is looking at them when they have no possible way to even get a glimpse of that person.
Alex spending like a decade trying to ruin Michael Chen’s life only for it to *not even be him* has gotta be the funniest part of this book. It’s wild, imagine if batman tracked down his parents’ killer after years and years of searching and scheming and getting clotheslined with the reveal that they actually got murked by weird uncle Al who hogs the green bean casserole at thanksgiving, like can you imagine????
The ultimate conclusion to the fact that Tony Stark is basically the weirdo AU version of Bruce Wayne.
Spiderman-and-sandman-core
Plot twist, it was Alfred
It’s both funny and sad tbh considering he trusted his uncle 😭
Alex is truly giving "you are a normal regular civilian, act like it"
cackling
The best!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I feel like this book would make a lot more sense if it took place in a fantasy world.
1. If it takes place in the past where women are typically treated lesser then it would explain why her brother and Alex both treat her, a grown woman like a child who needs protection. It would explain why she needs a "guardian."
2. If Alex was a prince or something similar then it would explain his absurd amount of power. Of course he'd have insane connections and all sorts of dubious people working for him.
3. I also think it would make his violent behavior and thirst for revenge feel more natural for him at such a young age. And it would fit in the world a lot better instead of feeling just ridiculous and out of place,
4. All the stuff with her dad and his uncle would make a lot more sense. The uncle could've wanted the throne or some other kind of power. Her dad's attempt to kill her would still be a little wild but again, I think it'd feel more normal in a fantasy world.
5. THE RANDOM PRINCESS WOULDN'T BE SO RANDOM.
It's already cliché enough, adding the fantasy element would've made so muchhhhh sense
yes!! if only huang had your brain
Exactly but for some reason these dark romance writers are stuck only writing about our world, and try to get us to believe that this insanity is going on in our world. Like no I don't believe ur highschool teenager has a 6 pack and is the "ruler" of the school. I've been to highschool. There is no ruler and everyone is cringe.
We listened to this book in the car on a road trip and it was wild
Or his sister had an unknown power that shouldn't be left unsupervised. Like your idea makes sense too, but i like a less mysoginistic aproch as i'm sick of those. And this sunshine trope is so annoying most like the other "Emotionless badboy super genius millionare" trope.
The fact that Alex’s surname is VOLKOV, which in Russian volk means wolf (and then there’s the classic -ov suffix) is so funny to me. His name is literally Alex Wolf 💀
Not to be confused with well- known actor Alex Wolff
ALSO not to be confused with Alexander Volkov, the Russian writer who ripped off The Wizard of Oz and made it ✨scifi✨aka my favorite children's book series
not to be confused with the OTHER Alexander Volkov, UFC heavyweight fighter
@@cecilie...whats the name of the book series?
Like the werewolf in the Sims 4
The dad suddenly being a super villain was crazy like a slow clap???? Please
It’s the way her father really just switched so quickly 😭 like imo twisted lies should have been shorter and twisted love should have been longer. There was so much happening
as someone who hasn't read the book this was crazyy lmao but so entertaining, pls do the whole series
twisted love is a rabbit hole into worshipping Ana Huang and everything she writes 😮💨
to me the craziest part is when he started SINGING?? like there’s simply no way😭
I honestly believe this book had to be some tongue in cheek joke the longer it went bc no way someone wrote the male lead like this with zero self awareness, the dude is literally Artemis Fowl if he was written by a kid in wattpad
😊
@@orlafalconer2314 I'm absolutely not finding any reason for that... I just finished it and this is one of the worst shits I've ever read in my life.
Bridget calling Alex stupid and him retorting against that with his ✨️IQ of 160✨️ is SO FUNNY
i once was hanging out with a guy i had met recently and his friend, and the conversation got onto the general topic of intelligence. i made a joke about how insufferable guys are who talk about their IQs and accidentally drop their mensa membership cards at bars bc theyre so desperate to bring up how well they did on a provably useless test 7 years ago. and this guys friend starts cracking up bc the dude was a member of mensa and literally pulled out his card to show me and his friend roasted him for having tried to impress girls with it before xD i hope my filthy read of him changed his ways.
@@Saibellus that's hilarious and I love it
Alex was so dry but ngl he was funny for that 😭 so deadpan
"central america, country unknown" got me every time.
As someone who did date a hyper possessive man and was *literally* stalked by him for months after we broke up, this gives me the biggest ick I've ever felt in my entire life.
I really wish it ended with the FL finding happiness with herself (and possibly the friend from the end of the book who asked her out) and Alex rotting away to his work (maybe even in jail after literally skinning a man alive) instead of whatever this "story" was 💀
Believe it or not, I went to uni with a guy a bit like Alex. He was very rich and was always so moody, and once told me that he had contact who would kill anyone who had “wronged” him (which included a high school teacher who he disliked) because his dad is so rich. He was honestly a bit scary and such a draining person to be around, that the thought of romanticising him makes me feel so uncomfortable. He was quite misogynistic as well and was a walking red flag.
this is terrifying i feel like the only thing protecting us is knowing that alex is merely a fictional man... i hate that for you
its giving strong elliot rogers vibes for really real. just an unhinged rich manchild whose emotional intelligence is so stunted that in his hands, money becomes a deadly weapon.
And then he meets a sunshine girl and he learns “I guess I have hysteria been missing love all my life” 🥺👉👈
I absolutely love that Mike’s Mic unintentionally started an entire genre of unhinged recaps, and I love even more that it’s my favorite genre on UA-cam
This is nitpicky but actually Jenny Nicholson pioneered this trend with her vampire diaries video! Mike's mic was inspired by her
@@Ariarth smh anything to not give credit to a woman
@@Ariarth I just knew Jenny was the one to have introduced this trend
Nikki nasty, Lexi, etc
@@Ariarthlike 5 years before she did vampire diaries she did Troll, which is absolutely insane, and Trigger warning, which is hilarious. Both are definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen them. She didn't do the conspiracy theory style board until later, but Troll and Trigger Warning are both good times regardless.
Can we also acknowledge the fact that “Ava” is ONE letter off from “Ana”?? This might be a stretch but it really feels like just too much of a coincidence and too similar to not be a detail we’re supposed to notice 😭
LMFAO i did also have this thought but it felt too mean to put into the video
Both ava and ana are VERY common names bro, and if it was based of ana I think it's kinda normal I mean if I was a author then I would make a mc maybe similar to me like maybe a similar name or childhood or hobby is it rlly a big deal 💀
@@Njhyxun no cause both ava and Ana are Asian too😭😭
who is Ana??
@@schnabby208 the Author of the book 😭 Ana Huang
I, too, read this book and couldn't stop because of my toxic inability to leave certain things undone. I, too, got exasperated by how much Ana had to remind the readers of how wealthy and smart Alex was. I, too, did not understand the logic of time in this book. Everything was just so bad I had to take notes in my notes app and I ended up with a 17 pages long manifesto on my hate of Alex (tho, tbf, the document would probably be more around 7-8 Word doc pages)
Excerpts from it include :
- Can we stop babying grown ass women, please? It all started with Josh thinking she couldn't survive a year without him, when she has school, a job, friends and a well thought-out routine. Now, this crusty, dusty, musty man got her followed through two different countries and forces himself into her life AGAIN when she clearly said no and even threatened him with a restraining order. Yes, travelling alone, especially as a woman (of colour++) is dangerous, but no more dangerous than being affiliated with that dangerous, rotten-nail looking, white bazillionaire, who has killed and isn't afraid to kill again. Like, she's better without you and most of her bigger problems started with you so just get away for the love of God.
- Alex is my literal nightmare. Imagine having an ex, so rich and powerful, so hung up on you, so jealous of the people around you, you can't hide, you can't fly away from, you can't report, you can't turn the page, you can't find someone else. Plus they so strongly believe they're doing the right thing, they won't back off, won't listen to you, your "no"s and your boundaries (because obviously they know better than you what is good for you?). How do you ever win? How do you ever get rid of them?
Nightmare fuel.
- OH MY GOD JUST LEAVE HER ALONE
I repeat, how is he any better than Ex?? We, the audience, know she kinda wants him back against her better judgement. But *he* doesn't know, he ain't reading the book. So he's just a creepy, taller, stronger, broader, richer, older, more trained, more powerful, straight cishet man following her around begging her to take him back and harassing her and following her places, and talking to her against her will. Just, imagine.
He's the Love Interest of this book.
I'll also never forget Bridget for seeking him out. Sir was done (even though he had her followed, but really, it is the lesser of two evils) but naaaah, she had to go after him to tell him about Ava's business. SMH
- The fact that he wore her out into forgiving him is actually insanity and I ABSOLUTELY hate that
truly it's a canon event to experience this book for the first time and feel like an absolute alien
I liked the first bit of this book but the harrassment at the second half.. all that stuff you mentioned killed it for me. Idk why everyones like this.
@@macymiller3417 truly, I thought it was your run of the mill brother's BFF romance. With the pining, the yearning, the "forbidden" aspect of it had me goiiiing. Plus some forced proximity (by way of said brother going away and leaving BFF in his house neighboring that of MC) and some mild enemies to lovers (in theory) AND an emotionally unavailable love interest (because, for some reason I like that, IN BOOKS) AND AGAIN some smut. It had everything for me to enjoy. Except Ana took all the fun out of those things and threw it out keeping only the most disturbing parts and amping them all the way up. I still can't believe how much she messed it up.
@@macymiller3417i felt the same way, the plot had sooooo much potential but it went downhill when the whole michael thing happened
Your second point would be such an interesting concept for an actually good book, but this one had to go the weird route
Have i read this book? No. Was i planing on it? Also no. Still watched this and now i understand all the old hungarian grannys watching Turkish reality TV. Because this feels exactly like it
i love this comment
Hi fellow Katalin
@@katalinilles1177 Hello Hello. Nice to meet you name twin 😚
That was TOO specific how dare you (I'm joking, my mother is a hungarian granny and she loves Turkish soap operas, so when I saw this comment I was really surprised :dd)
@@Nemamka specific and also very correct
alex’s insanely “psychotic” tendencies actually fall in line with him having a really high IQ lol. people with higher IQs are generally not good at adjusting with situations and often have psychological/social deficits which they’ve never been taught how to deal with efficiently. coupled with his already existing trauma of watching his family get murdered in front of his eyes is so overkill 😭 in another universe this guy would’ve been the zodiac killer of philadelphia
biblically accurate super genius
@@newlynovalmao 😭😭
As someone who had been around a couple "super genius" people (if IQ about 160 counts as super genius) I would say this is partially correct. I notice some of them have troubles with emotions and have anger management issues. A lot of them had peculiar backgrounds and react poorly to the odd environment they're subjected to i.e. make a lot of bad decisions. I know a batchmate who was on top of our grade (mind you, our grade has hundreds of students), I'd say he was somewhat cold and stern, but damn he wasn't as edgy and cringe as Alex is. Dude was still very much capable of feeling emotions, although he was, and I have to admit, a bit of an asshole
love how your name is ALSO alex as you say this . real recognize real
@@jabeeballs I was wanting to comment about the guy I knew who was just like this and was trying to remember his name, and suddenly realised ‘oh shit he was called Alex’ LMAO
The ending of this book holds the spot of the cringiest fictional moment for me. The way I have to stop reading when I got to the singing part still haunts me.
I skipped it 😂I genuinely couldn’t deal with the cringe
god the ending is a horror book like truly scary
Can u pls summarise the ending here
I’ve actually read this whole series, and I HIGHLY recommend doing an unhinged recap of Josh and Jules’s book. It somehow involves…blackmail? A break-in? A painting worth millions of dollars that Josh just happens to have hanging above his bed? Jules narrowly avoiding arrest? A MOMENT WHERE JOSH SHOWS UP AT THE AIRPORT AS JULES IS ABOUT TO LEAVE AND IS LIKE “WaAiT i’M cOmInG wItH yOuUu”
screaming LOL god i am not ready for the rest of this series
Weirdly enough this is the book that I didn’t like from the series, even tho 2 of 4 male protagonist are literal psychopaths and the red flags were as big as a football stadium, those relationships were always consensual in a way, and Rhys imo was the only normal guy there lol BUT when Jules confesses to Josh what she did (under blackmail no less) he forced her to have sex with him so he could “hurt her as much as she hurt him”, nah that moment killed the book for me ngl especially with what Jules had lived through with her ex she deserved better in that moment
What in world is with the airport chase😂😂😂
@@stefaniaurrieta7463 NAH FR that was icky of him. Like bro CHILL AND TAKE A SECOND TO YOURSELF IF YOU’RE ANGRY. DON’T DO…WHATEVER THAT WAS.
@@newlynovaPLEASE DO IT ESPECIALLY TWISTED HATE BC IT GETS VERY DEEP INTO THE PLOT AND ITS JUST CRAZY AND CONCERNING
Sometimes heroes don't wear capes, they have a board of printed royalty free stock photos on their wall ❤
i always use the twisted series as my prime example that saying ''i really enjoyed reading this book'' doesn't mean ''i think this book is extremely well written, the characters and the plot are so well thought out, it should be winning awards''. sometimes you don't want to read a good book, you just want to be entertained and have a good, cringy time while reading it
Yes! I feel this. I enjoyed this book as well but I thought that it is objectively "bad". "Very bad kings" is also a prime example. I kinda hated the book (I was a bit disgusted and cringed so hard) but I was entertained and hooked on the snippets of plot and bought the next book.
This! I’m ashamed to say I liked these books and these were very quick reads for me and were the beginning of my return to reading journey. However I don’t normally read books like this. Nor would I use this an an example to be like “this is top tier literature.” Also want to clarify that I for one would NEVER want an Alex. The guy I would kinda want is Rhys for being a green flag but I wouldn’t want ANY of them. I just liked reading the stories, watching each girl in the group find their love story they wanted. I think too many people assume people who read this book are 🌽 addicts. Which I mean… okay I guess I don’t blame them for that but I promise some of us just liked the plot and love story are very aware of how bad it is but sometimes we can’t get enough 😭 I kinda want to purchase the king series (at least king of pride)
@@lunarialoonatic there is a reason it's called guilty pleasure :)
“is this completely ridiculous? absolutely. but also it’s a little bit rizz” LOLLLLL so true queen, thank you for this work of art
"Enjoy poverty..." That line took me out!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
Same!!!! 😂
The genre of insanely detailed and insane recaps from weird TikTok books is truly grateful for your contribution 😂❤
Can you recommend some other videos like this? Im obsessed
@@sabrinac2197 cari can read has several of these in the same format ✨
@sabrinac2197 shitty book club and crow caller are good channels imo
@@sabrinac2197 caricanread!! she has a lot of this kine videos. mortal instruments series, crave, acotar, the summer i turned pretty etc .
Thank uuu@@byrnetdown6076
Imagine being a camp counselor and walking behind the cabin to find 10-year olds having a book club on this book. 15 of them reading it aloud in a circle. Didn’t even know they could read chapter books 😭😭
excuse me????? that is TERRIFYING
This made me realize (as a person who has read this multiple times not sure how to describe it more and more each time) this video has made me see a perfect description. "If Alex was an ugly dude, this book would have been over by the 8th page."
HELP i didnt expect to be mentioned lmao thank you for taking one for the team because i was this close || to reading these hahaha
!! stop of course i had to mention you, thank you for bringing string boards to the book world 🫡 and for all of the other wonderful content you make, you're seriously a huge inspiration for me!!
OMG this unexpected crossover like what
Ikr, I love this🙃
i would literally call the police after alex did any of this shit LMAO what the hell
Yeah well you can't since he SOMEHOW has connections everywhere and is besties with everyone
@@Karma_j I'll just call Phoenix Wright.
I knew a guy in college who would probably love this book. Spoiler: he literally stalked me for 6 months and continues to message me from new numbers 8 years later after I broke off our friendship because he blew up at me for not wanting to date him 🙃
absolutely cursed
“central america, country unknown.” will take me out every time
“But we’re family!”
“We’re not family, you killed my family”
* The Lion King has entered the chat*
so many people use the word “unhinged” to describe their relatively normal recaps. this-THIS-is unhinged. thank you for your service.
the beef she had with Bridget throughout the whole book is another form of funny😂
also, this video made me realise how the whole friend group is like messed up, they worry about the wrong things and when they decide to help, it’s totally useless or could’ve been way better
Josh's book has a scene that made me so uncomfy and it felt like it was simply put there to make him more morally gray. It haunts me.
Omg I agree! It was definitely an uncomfortable chapter
Which one??? What happened? I don't remember!!!
@@reallynotsure6402 twisted hate when they have that smeggsy scene after he says he forgives her and then says he lied right before he ya know
YEAH OMGG like when it happened I had to take a whole pause
Literally like that was a crime😭
Someone should just take a story like this and make a psychological thriller of it. Make him hot, rich and smart. Make him the classic love interest in a romance book, but she's not interested. She can't do anything about it though. He has her controlled every moment of her life, where she works or who she meets, she can't go to the police because of all his connections. Her friends think he's the perfect man for her and don't believe her. That would be so interesting
You should check out Behind Closed Doors by B. A Paris , what you described is nearly the premise of that book, except she was interested in him from the beginning.
@@Gabrielle-wg4ik I so agree! I loved Behind Closed Doors and yes it was just like this- also "The Wife Upstairs" by Rachel Hawkins has some similar connections
@pelumiadejaiye8654 I'll check it out, thanks 😊
Adding another recommendation: Into the Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes is pretty similar, and it really emphasizes the effects of the trauma inflicted on the main character and also the healing process while still maintaining pretty good suspense the entire time, and it's obvious the author did a lot of research into all of these topics and I think is handled very well. It gets a tad bit unhinged near the end but it's actually well-earned! Highly recommend.
The movie The Invisible Man (2020) has a similar plot.
oh my god I am so glad I wasn’t the only person that thought Alex was such a pick me. “Oh I am not like other guys, oh I am better, smarter, richer feelings suck” that was the vibe i got from the man the WHOLE book.
The use of the eagle sound to censor cuss words and the highly sexual parts is honestly so hilarious and perfect
I read this book and truly TRULY questioned the sanity of everyone who recommended it to me. I have not recovered from this book and I read it like 6 months ago
Any time someone, real or fictional, mentions their IQ, I cannot take them seriously anymore. Additionally, love that I didn't have to read this book to truly experience the vomit comet rollercoaster ride this was.
Alex eating that disgusting cookie and pretending to like it is honestly something I would do.
I never thought that "Guy picking up a call from his sister while balls-deep in a random woman" is a scene I would see in a romance book twice, and yet here we are.
“I’m not above ruining women” dude, I KNOW WE HAVE THE WHOLE BOOKS TO PROVE IT!
this is my new favorite type of content lmao
edit: Ava, Alex, and Josh are, like, the least imaginative, most basic names I've ever heard. especially together.
Honestly, after reading one too many Colleen Hoover books with names like Lowen and Ryle and fucking LEEDS, I will take basic ass names any day. But also, that's not even exclusive to Hoover. I once read a romance book where the main character was named Pepper. PEPPER. And let's not forget Shepley and America from Beautiful Disaster. Yeah, I'll take Alex and Ava. 💀 (though they're still pretty bland tbf)
@@zombieedrea ahh I get that. Leeds is fucking terrible lmao. I think the problem is it's always everyone has a boring name or everyone has a wild one. names should fit the character lol
@@zombieedreacolleen hoover will pull names straight from her ass lmao those names are ridiculous
@@zombieedrea So I am not alone in being baffled by those weird ass names. Half the time I can't even decide if it's the woman or the man based on name. SHEPLEY. Hardin was also really bad.
I honestly think that a lot of Booktok didn't read enough fanfics or wattpad as a kid bc you could get stories on par to this and better for literally no money, really does help assauge any fears of being published though
"central america, country unknown" is going to be one of those phrases i quote daily that no one except me thinks is funny
"Central America, country unknown" shouldn't be this funny
i haven't read this book, so when you say that alex is 'dressed to the nines', i want to believe he's in full elton john getup - the glasses, the feathers, the platform heels - and that he threatens jack whilst dressed like this.
There are too many amazing quotes in this video, but "And he swears vengeance, justice, revenge, whatever, all of those nouns" takes the cake
I need so many more of these. Feel free to do the whole series and save me the trouble of reading them. This plot was absolutely unhinged. In the worst way possible.
I cant wait to hate read this book
The first time I discovered your channel was from your credence video and now I’m obsessed with all of these unhinges recaps lmao
As a reader who does not read romance, thank you for informing me on what the girls are upto these days. I am speechless because of the shock my body just experienced and need some time to recover.
These books are overhyped to hell on booktok and I see them everywhere in bookshops knowing you can read books like these for free on wattpad. I never really understood the hype for these. The female mcs are portrayed as innocent dummies whilst the male mc are walking violators of the Geneva convention. Thanks for this entertaining 1.30 hour vid where you calmly try to explain these bizarre books that goes against every human right. This vid was what Homer was talking about when he was writing the odyssey
YES YES YESSSSS THANK YOU OMG THANK YOU you are so true ans so valid for that
im reading the series rn and WATTPAD IS EXACTLY HOW I DESCRIBED IT 😂
The way Ava couldn't literally do ANYTHING about Alex stalking her bcuz of whatever assets he has is so unhinged😭 and like Ava babes wHY take him back you were doing so well😭😭
This video is definitely the highlight of my week, thank you so much❤
This guy made my jaw drop more than Christian Grey which I didn't think was possible holy shit.
this book was such a wild read and i’m glad u did this so i could relive the wildness. like i didn’t like the book AT ALL. but the twists were so funny that i was so entertained
In just this first ten minutes, this is already the most fanficcy romance book I've never read. Dear god. I am both horrified and deeply entertained.
I literally thought Twisted Love was some sort of self insert because I couldn’t remember if “Ana” or “Ava” was the author/FMC 😭
yeaaah. def. Ava/Ana, both of asian descent.. for sure a self insert lol!
To be fair majority of Ana's books have a female Asian protagonist so I feel like she is self inserting most of her books
truly harrowing. thank you for taking one for the team
I love these videos! Haunting Adelaide is absolutely absurd, definitely a great candidate for a recap
this book was like every bad aspect of wattpad mafia fanfics but published with a bubbly cover
After reading Twisted Hate (the third book of this series), a book that I could not physically finish, or else I would've had to jump off a bridge, bleach my eyeballs, or do anything traumatic enough to erase my memory, Twisted games doesn't even seem that bad to me. Like, trust me. It gets worse than Ava and Alex. Like way worse.
Have I read Twisted Love? No. Did I watch this entire video anyway? Absolutely I did.
I NEED YOU TO RECAP THIS WHOLE SERIES PLEASE
The wall stock photos, the red flags, the organized collage, the vibes are immaculate in this video. I have debated reading this book based off of Tik Tok but, after this recap I think it reinforces my thought that Alex is a walking red flag and Ava is colorblind.
a video i didnt know i needed. this book was an unhinged ride from start to finish
I'm not sure how I got here from the algorithm, but I'm glad I'm here, I was sold in the first 10 seconds. Showed this to my friend, and had a great time enjoying the rollercoaster of this book through you. + 2 subscribers. We both agreed after the "Biological responses can be mastered" line, Alex was a light novel protagonist. Incredibly edgy character.
I loved your energy, your humor, hope to see more of your book analysis
I'm still not over the fact that there randomly is a European princess-diary-style PRINCESS chilling in America without being relevant to the plot whatsoever in a non-fantasy romance novel??? What did the author smOKE????
Immediately subscribed for "Nobody really knows for sure what the line is for dark romance vs normal romance. It's kinda just all vibe"
As someone who read this book and loved it, this is gold cuz it’s so true and funny😂😂😂 I had all these thoughts in my head and still ended the book with “yup Alex is my book husband” even though I could do without the singing honestly.
Im so living for these thorough book breakdowns i stumbled here from Credence and now im binge watching all the rest of the ones you have here on your channel
I'm only 18 minutes in and this is already the best summary ever. I absolutely ate up this book and this series for the sheeeeer "absolutely not, what is actually happening" energy
Josh and Joules book is the least insane... And that's insane to say because it's still wild.
i feel like rhys and bridget’s book was the least insane, they’re my favs (also the only book i liked)
The reading aloud really emphasizes the chaos of this plot. 10/10
I beg you to pleaseee do more of these! I love recapping series before reading the next book of the series! You did this so well!
this style of video literally suits u and ur humor so much! i need more of these asap bestie
Listen I’ve read this (I’ve read all of them, actually) but I am HERE for this video, parked and ready to be fed that premium content. Thank you for your service 🙇🏻♀️🫡
Please do the rest of the books in the series!
I read all four books earlier this year and I somehow forgot how unhinged this plot was 😂
I DNF'd this book so hard. I got to the photographer friend scene and was out. This was such a good watch to understand i was so so right to find the exit door.
I read this entire series and I don’t know if I’m just dumb but I did not know Ava was a photographer 😭😭
These videos are my favourite, please continue this video format . Guilty pleasure watching you break apart books you see as problematic. Gives me new perspective on books I have already read and warns me against books I now have no intention of reading (credence).
the "central america country unknown" bit got me every time
I'm gonna be honest, the eagle cries to cover the swears takes me out of it. Like I just can't help but laugh. I also really like your earrings.
Once I had tried to read the first book of this series, needless to say I couldn't and had to donate the entire series to my best friend who devoured this from the first page to the last
Girl is built diff
I've never heard of this book or series but I am enthralled. Your delivery, voice, and vocabulary tickles my brain. Thank you, girly

The confrontation scene with Ava's dad still keeps me up at night
this is the content I need constantly, and I'm now desperate to find smth similar, but might just rewatch this like a favorite comedy cuz this is just so good.
never read this book, never will, but thank you for this unhinged recap, truly made my day
I’ve had twisted series on my tbr for the longest but found it so hard to get into so thank you for this! Please do the rest of the series or any romance novels for that matter your commentary is *chef’s kiss* ❤❤

I found you yesterday and I never heard of any of the books you talk abt but you make such a great content out of them, you talk very fast which is so great and refreshing to not have to wait 5 mins for someone to get to the point, I love your takes on things and your videos are literally perfect to listen to at work, overall subscribed

obsessed with the way you break down novels and the style of this video! more please!
Thank you for this summary of this absolutely unhinged book. ... As a trauma survivor of parental and relationship abuse who might have, at one point, liked this without knowing how absolutely red-flag terrifying stuff this is.... I just hope every other trauma survivor with insecure attachment styles can learn and grow and heal from.... This kind of stuff. Lol. But hey-- The train wreck was somewhat entertaining. Your deadpan sarcasm and humor in this video helped me get through the whole thing. Keep making awesome videos!
i could never take these type of books srsy, from the writting style to the plot and characters, all of them HORRIBLE 💀
49:16 The plot of this book is so ridiculous and full of plot twists that it’s genuinely entertaining LMAO I’m laughing so hard
