I have never been the type of girl to buy into any literary hype. To a fault, even. I was a child when Harry Potter came out and I had avoided it my entire life, until I turned 24 and finally read it (I’ve read it twice in full since then, and on audiobook). So, this isn’t a brag, but just to show you that I am stubborn and when something is popular I am usually avoiding it.
So CoHo, became kind of a joke for me and my colleagues. I’m an adult librarian, and I would have days where every patron was requesting a Hoover book. My system has all of her books, and there are at least 300 copies of each in the system, that’s how big the demand was. The hype has died down considerably, so when my friend asked me to join a book club, and told me it was for a Colleen Hoover book, and I saw it was available on Libby, I read it.
And since, I’ve read 3 of her books.
So, as stubborn as I am, I’m not a snob with books. It doesn’t take much for me to like a book. I’m not too critical. I just like a book that will grasp my attention enough that I WANT to read it, bonus if it has some unexpected twists and turns.
So yeah, Colleen Hoover is very readable and I understand why she is so popular. I really can’t get enough of these books lol
