I did pick this up because of the promise of dark academia and a magic system/world building, and neither was really developed? So it had a bit too much of the not-my-cup-of-tea characters and not enough of the world. Also, English is not my first language, but that hasn’t been a problem in reading books (and papers, and textbooks) in years. The language in this hurt me in a negative way :c I did read ninth house right after I dnf’d the atlas six; if you have no bigger problems with anything on the tr1gger-warning list, I’d kinda suggest that more.

Personally I read for fun and my own enjoyment. And I don't give a crap about people who give bad reviews or say that one piece of literature is just because they didn't personally like it or it wasn't their usual taste. Keep in mind that Jack isn't really a romance reader and probably is not in the target audience. Read what you want, you rock! 😊

I also liked Bunny, but found I lost interest towards the end. The first few times she went to the bunny’s parties, I was so intrigued and was loving it

I read another book called the Love Hypothesis. At first I thought it was the same book but when I heard what was going in it I realised that they’re nothing to do with each other. The one I read was more comedic and was about the LGBTQ+ community and friendships and other things. The author was Laura Steven.

The review of Book Lovers is just so accurate. Not that any other review isn't, but finally somebody said what I wanted to for a long time.

Thank you for the great video and the needed warning about BookTok Jack 😂! Highly recommend the Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion if you haven’t read it already, the plot has similar elements to the Love Hypothesis but the way the narrative is structured keeps you both engaged in what is happening and equally excited about the following page !

Here we gooo, I'm loving all these videos PS: CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR AWARD JACK! YOU DESERVED IT BOY

we hypothesised the book was good. our hypothesis was wrong.

It's so interesting, because I found myself SO much more invested in the Book Lovers couple vs It Happened One Summer couple. The former seemed more believable and what I liked is that she actually gave attention to the other characters (how the lead and her sister got along and exploring that relationship in depth), and I didn't like how the other characters in IHOS fell by the wayside a bit too quickly.

I think one of the reasons why Book Lovers is so underwhelming is because it’s marketed as a romance which is true but it’s mostly about the female lead’s (whose name I forgot) relationship with her sister, and also because it’s kinda meh. Beach Read still remains superior to me.

I would absolutely love to see a video of Jack’s favorite book from 3-4 different authors. Like which Emily Henry book is your favorite? A Best of video if you will with mini reviews/ratings!

Omg I just finished “The Love Hypothesis,” and I love how much you hate it too 😂 I don’t usually feel that strongly about bad books, but this one really brought out a lot of feelings (and not good kinds.) Those are a few hours we’ll never get back…

Jack I love your book reviews. And your comedic timing is genius.

The Love Hypothesis is my comfort book. I read it knowing it was a rom-com, so everything "stupid" that happened in it made sense since it is not a serious or realistic book. It a "dumb reading" where you don't think about anything, appreciate Adam Carlsen existence, dream of coffee dates and learn more about Grad School's life, as concerned by this life people confirmed that it was astonishingly pretty accurate. However, I can understand why it isn't for everyone and people's negative opinions on it, since its quality's opinion is purely based on subjectivity for everyone, me included.

I've read all three of the romances and i think it's so interesting how taste varies because my favourite was book lovers by far i really enjoyed the way it was written and i liked the setting and characters and quotes while it happened one summer felt more bland (still fun to read though but i didn't like the main girl at times)!

Thank you for reccomending Bunny! I read it this past week because of your video and I've been recommending it to all my friends since. That book is CAMP and its amazing for it.

jack idk how to describe it but you feel energized with your comeback to the main channel! hope you’re having fun and taking care of yourself along the way

i legit got the funniest ad break of all time omfg 3:00 Jack: "she'll have to sit on his LAP--" AD: [ sad tolling bells as a medley of stock photo people hold their heads distraught with the text "Jesus was alone too" ] Jack: "ON. His LAP"

It hurts that you hate the love hypothesis.. I loved it.. However I am also in the same academic fields and therefore it's so fun to me. I am not on tiktok but I found it on the dutch version of amazone (bol) and the science aspect made me buy it and I loved it so much. Planned to read it on vacation but I finished it a week before I left for vacation

I absolutely loved my dark Vanessa when I've read it, it's so beautifully written and shows Vanessa's trauma and how it mainly started affecting her as she grew older...a triggering book but definitely a realistic one that shows the corruption of our society and the abuse of power.

"If we don't acknowledge the chaos, it's not happening" Words to live by 😌

"The love hypothesis" was the first book that got me into romance and one of my favorite's. 💀 I can't wait to read the rest of "It happened one summer" though! Im currently reading it right now!

Love these types of videos, hope you do a part 3 soon ! 😁👍🏻✨

I was so excited to watch this and see what you thought of one of my favorite books this year and you ripped it to shreds 😭😭 R.I.P the Love Hypothesis

Yes!! Embrace the cheesiness and enjoy the books!! 😊 To me, bunny was somewhat of a feverish dream/nightmare, and dark Vanessa just broke me

I read My Dark Vanessa right after reading Lolita which was perfect timing for me bc otherwise I wouldn’t really understand the references. All in all, My Dark Vanessa is definitely a book I’ll take with me and will remember forever. It’s shocking that this isn’t a memoir and Vanessa isn’t real although I know unfortunately there is too many Vanessas out there that are and relate to this story. 💔

really enjoyed this video, love that you give a honest opinion with a bit of description of the plot. question: where did you get your harry styles t-shirt from? it's amazing!

So glad you’ve read My Dark Vanessa, remember recommending this to you quite a while ago now. Totally understand the trigger warning, I was forewarned by staff in Waterstones before buying. I got a little mixed up at times with the American school/college system! A fantastic, emotional book.

My favourite thing about moving to London is managing to watch Jack's videos as soon as they're uploaded lmao

I personally LOVED The Love Hypothesis, but I do get your point about some of the cringy moments. I recently read Love on the Brain, and I liked that one even more! Sorry you didn't, but no worries :) I really want to read Bunny, It Happened One Summer, and My Dark Vanessa. You have just bumped all of those up on my TBR!

yess felt the same way! objectively LOTB is the better book, but the science in TLH just did it for me (whereas LOTB is more engineering which is cool too but biology just owns my heart) also a hot man dedicated to science 😮‍💨🥵

I LOVED Bunny. I ended up finishing it months ago and it hasn't left my mind. It is such a fun read.

I was very excited to see your reaction to Bunny. Partly because I love the book itself, but also because it is a weird book. And I personally like weirdness in my books, but also vagueness. I don't want everything explained to me. And yeah, sometimes things are off the rails weird, and it is fantastic. I personally describe Bunny as a bloody axe covered with pink glitter, and it made me realise a subgenre that I do dig but it is hard to describe and hard to find books within it.

Jack: “A big, large, ginormous, huge man.” Me: “Is Jack Edwards describing my type?”

i really liked Emily Henry's writing when i read Beach Read, i am now going to read Book Lovers and I don't know it already feels like it's not as good lol but i'm probably going to enjoy it anyways

Once again, Jack making me fall in love with reading, a video at a time. Also his puns are HILARIOUS

Just today I was thinking to start with something new and the notification of this video popped up !❤️

youre my biggest comfort youtuber ever 💘📚🦉

oh my god i’m so happy that you loved ‘it happened one summer’ !!! my favourite romance i’ve ever read and i honestly don’t think anything will ever beat it

I have never been so happy in my life to discover this channel. It's so hard to get book recs from others because I always end up hating them but this man's book recs have never disappoints. And the commentary is absolutely divine 😂

starting my day right by watching a jack edwards video

Great now I wanna read like 5 more books in addition to the books 131 that’s always there. I really like these videos 😭

I finally read a book that Jack recommended! I've been a viewer since forever but I hadn't actually gotten around to reading one partially because our taste in books is so different. Anyway, would recommend, My Year of R&R is really good!

i loved this video!!! you're the only person i can trust w book recommendations. now i can't wait for second part of Harry Styles book recs!!! and honestly i loved your t-shirt and i need that too❤

I read All's Well by Mona Awad and it was totally chaotic and weird as well. Bunny's been on my TBR for a while now, but I can't decide if I want to buy a print copy or listen to the audio book, so I've been putting off reading it lol. But I guess this is my sign to just make up my mind already! That said, I assume you'd like All's Well as well if you liked Bunny, it sounds like they're in the same ball park of weirdness.

I absolutely LOVED reading when I was young, the feeling of not being able to put a book down and being so engrossed in an imaginary world. It's a feeling that's so unique to reading. But I grew apart from reading since high school. From being too busy, seeing books as 'work' for school, and being distracted by other forms of media like KZread and Netflix, etc., I just didn't see the point in it. Then when BookTok became a thing, I was so curious that I started reading again. After years of not reading for fun, I read... wait for it... A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara... After all those years of not reading, it was honestly the best thing that could have happened to me. I've never felt happier in college since I started reading again, and a lot of it was because of social media and influencers like Jack Edwards who encouraged people like me to read again

I have terrible anxiety and reading helps do much. While I'm absorbed in a book my brain isn't tormenting me.

i’ve read a few of these and it was cool seeing that our opinions aligned!

I'm so happy you liked Bunny. Such a wild book. I love books that keep things open to interpretation.

the only interesting moment in book lovers is when the main character's sister says that they remember their childhood very differently but nothing is done with that revelation at all ! i wish there had been more conversations around that
