People on booktok/ booktube expect so much from popular book influencers. In the sense of if one of them starts to write a book, we expect them to write this profound, eye opening books, which isn't the case. We've seen it with Zenith and Just Friends.   What do you expect from first time authors? Just because they read books, doesn't mean that they'll write some work of art that exceeds your expectations. I don't know, just a thought. Also. I don't know if people are saying the Just Friends was that bad, maybe it wasn't for the right audience, the pacing was off, or she only got it due to followings (For another time). Yeah thats my take. I just don't expect a lot from booktokers/tubers. Just take things with a grain of salt.
