I fear finding good human books these days is comparable to being sent to Barbatos’ dungeons. If I pick up another book and the random page I flip to is about “big balls”? Please know that my will is to the cat shelters and MC solely, and if a white haired demon claims he has part, kick him in the nuts.

Lily, la vida es algo muy raro y curioso. Solo tenemos unos cuantos años para vivirla, así que debemos hacer todo lo posible para llenarlos al máximo. No debemos perder tiempo en cosas qué tal vez sucedan algún día o que tal vez no sucedan nunca.

Ummmm it’s a trend to hate CoHo now because whenever something or someone becomes very popular, a hate train follows it.

I don’t like CoHo and even occasionally feel myself becoming a little anti-CoHo, but I need everyone to think and analyse critically and logically.

I’ve never read any of her books, but I’m aware of them (very hard not to be). It Ends With Us doesn’t romanticize abuse (from what I know). The real issue with It Ends With Us isn’t necessarily the content or the writing (even though I’ve heard of 15 yo Lilly x 18 yo Atlas???). CoHo’s real issue is her marketing.

Why are all of her books marketed as romance to teenagers and young adults when so many of them are just… not those?

It Ends With Us is her hardest book to criticize because she was very close to actually doing it right.

But then there’s Ugly Love, November 9 and Slammed that really need to be looked at and addressed because… huh?

Again, I haven’t read any of these books, but from what I hear and what I know, this marketing is all wrong. Everyone, say on Tiktok, presents these books as beautiful and complicated love stories which is why so many people believe that CoHo romanticizes abuse in It Ends With Us.

Her including toxic behaviours is never the issue, but more so hardly addressing how they’re wrong is (plus, again, booktok gaslighting the masses into believing these are complex love stories and her running with it).

CoHo deserves so badly to be criticized, but I think we have to remember what’s constructive and analytical and what’s truly just not well thought out hate.
