    Watching this makes me wonder as to what kinds of books are selling more than others and for what reasons, whether someone is a fan of Hoover's work(s) or not. To that end, I once asked an industry colleague of mine if Colleen Hoover's books are "Pulitzer Prize Worthy material" in a genuine way, considering ALL the media and social media hype surrounding her. They relied "no" in a quick-witted manner.

      Her descriptions of characters are annoying sometimes or a lot, but if many people like her, this means that she is a good writer. It is not great to criticize a reader or writers especially if you were a reader !
