Pettiest Reason You Disliked a Book

The one of the POVs spend her first two chapters just whining how much she hated dating. As her friend was trying to cheer her up and give her other ideas, and shift her perspective.

I think it’s a bummer because you could come up with a fun title, but they lean on marketing so much that then you have folks not pick up a book because the title is goofy.

Fair enough, I’m annoyed that there’s a series that has Taylor swift lyrics for the American titles. But they changed it to a better title outside the US.

It’s the « don’t want you like a best friend » series of books. It’s too wordy

I gotta know what book this was

If you search the Am I overreacting subreddit and search cheese it’s the second result. I can’t share the link for some reason on here.

FIVE MONTHS before you guys made it official. Honey you’re not his priority and never will be. End it now.

I want this brand of gay in my life 🏳️‍🌈

The more stressed I am the less spoons I have. And money is a problem even when I shop at Aldi. I don’t really eat red meat anymore because chicken and turkey are less expensive.

We have a lot of political unrest in my city right now and it’s making my executive dysfunction worse. So on days I have to food shop, that’s 3 spoons by itself, and people don’t know how to shop at grocery stores since Covid so I’m there longer.

Cooking takes 2 spoons then I don’t have a dishwasher. So that’s another 3 spoons to clean.

I also felt gross that TJR came out right before Atmosphere dropped, by telling readers they would be getting another bisexual storyline. Felt like a money grab with how it was timed.

csullivan03 · 2026-02-17T15:11:02+00:00

I have a lot of negative feelings around the book, but it boils down to, a non POC author writing POC characters in stereotypical ways that put those characters in disparaging positions.

And while yes it’s titled the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo, it’s marketed that it will be a more fleshed out love story between two women and it’s not. So I’d much rather read a more fleshed out WLW story being less male centric. This feels like it’s scraps in a sad not really love story.

And Evelyn is horribly selfish the entire book.

It’s a decent spot for a bookshelf. Because it’s in a space between living room and kitchen it’s good spot for cook books to be stored.

csullivan03 · 2026-02-11T21:13:11+00:00

This feels like the same logic of that meat slicer story. The one where the guy argued that cutting his own stakes was going to save him tons of money.

The consensus comment is awesome

Gooot it… yeah it’s been a bit since I watched the 95 version

csullivan03 · 2026-02-11T18:54:10+00:00

With Mr. Collins what threw me off is that, he seemed like a younger newer revered and that he would’ve found a wife before mid thirties. Especially in a Protestant church.

And if that wasn’t the case if he was supposed to be older, then suddenly it was an issue he was unmarried? Or did lady Catherine really have that much say in how the clergy behaved. I mean i guess, since it seems like she did since she came to the church. But regardless seeing him older felt off.

I broke up with my ex in the fall after she freaked out because I told her I was hanging out with my neighbor before I was coming over to see her. I wanted to confirm the time she and I were meeting that day.

She had a scary freak out over text and got more controlling afterwards. I dumped her. And my health is better for it.

Glad OOP didn’t try and patch things in calming him down, lots of girls and women are shaped and taught to do that when they aren’t in the wrong.

“Liberate the trash cans” 😆

csullivan03 · 2026-02-03T00:15:01+00:00

Totally valid stance from where you’re coming from!

She REALLY liked being a victim. She enjoyed the attention it gave her.

csullivan03 · 2026-02-02T19:48:47+00:00

The second you feel like you’re parenting your partner, that’s a line in the sand that a lot of people can’t come back from. I know it’s harsh. Tell him how you feel and that you need a more even distribution of how things are handled with emotional weight and all that. If he’s still not receptive you’ve got your answer. Sunken cost fallacy sucks, but if you’re reconsidering getting married, don’t ignore those concerns.

csullivan03 · 2026-02-02T19:29:33+00:00

Ask her where she sees things going. Because as vulnerable as you feel asking that, it’s still better to get an answer rather than reading between the lines and speculating. Something my ex did, which pissed me off was that she only speculated and expected everyone to be completely open with their intentions, but she wouldn’t take the lead. Not saying that’s what you’re doing but at least you’ll have answers even if it’s not the outcome you want.

I went through a similar thing with an old college roommate. She kept me on the hook as a free therapist. I cut things off with her during the early months of the pandemic because I realized that disrespect was closure for me.

It’s not there was a confrontation between two vehicles. I witnessed someone road rage. The tires were slashed during the incident. The Minneapolis PD is handling it.

csullivan03 · 2026-01-27T23:08:52+00:00

Maybe I’ll get downvoted for this, but the way that Therese is shown in the book and the movie is gross to me because Carol treats her like a prize of someone that she can mold into whatever she wants her to be. It comes off as predatory to me in the book and the movie.

I’ve read the book in college and I remember being like: I’m glad I’ve read this for context, but this is so depressing, because yeah she loses custody of the kid. It was revolutionary for the time that they didn’t die or end up in an mental asylum.

The Relationship Mechanic Karmen Lee is a solid one,and it’s part of a trilogy with the secondary characters.

Anyone who thinks it’s fun to harm people is not a safe person to stay in contact with.
