Hot take that I know a lot of people will disagree with: the bar for YA books has dropped so low that Ali Hazelwood is a popular author.
No hate on her as a person (idk sh*t about her), but I read two of her books (one by accident and one to make sure I didnāt just picked a bad book. Mind you, they were two of the more popular ones) and felt I was reading 2010s Wattpad stories written by pre teens. They were SO bad, that two years later I havenāt bought a single book without first reading 2-3 chapters online to make sure I wasnāt falling into a booktok scam again.
