The fact that Hayden has his head in his hands in exasperation 11 seconds into the video is promising ABSOLUTE ENTERTAINEMENT 😅💯
I am just obsessed with "looks like the kind of guy who would storm the capital" and we ALL KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE GUY LOOKS LIKE.
loved this so much! shatter me is definitely the worst “booktok rec” ive ever read. the writing is HORRIBLE. 😭😭😭

I read it a few years ago, hated it. It read like a wattpad fanfic. Imagine my surprise when last year I saw someone GENUINELY hype this series up

I just got to page 63 and ive been realizing how mediocre the writing is but I kept on because I hadn't seen a bad review yet, I'm so glad I've found people who think the same😅
You could literally explain the entire plot of the story and a couple of sentences, they wrote Juliet so terribly, and she’s literally everything I hate. 😭 I read the whole book and it was absolutely trash solid one star .
It makes me crazy that the book makes Warner so extreme to make it seem like Adam is a better choice when both of them are walking red flags. Also berserk to give your protagonist the ultimate power and but then make them choose to be controlled in every situation possible.
"Pookie's looking so fire." PLS y'all lmao
You guys have noooo idea how entertaining this break down/ analysis is for someone who has never read this, i.e. ME 😂😂😂. It sounds absolutely bonkers, especially the part where they're in a car, with a drugged up toddler, heavy petting, while a guy is driving the car, low key voyeuring them?! What the hell is this book even?! 😂😂😂
“Let’s put some logic” “Oh, we’re gonna DO THAT!??” 😂😂
and if you read the other books it literally gets worse. she finds out that her name isn't her name and it's just so confusing.
I re-read the first book 4 days ago, and it was really such a let down. Aaran Warners shrines / shatter me cult is all over social media, but for what? No idea. The hype is wild for something... so bad.
I LOVE YOU GUYS OMFG i hated this book so much 😭😭everything you said was exactly what i was thinking
I don’t belong here, I love Shatter Me 😭
This book reads to me like when I was in high school and had a crush on someone I would imagine all these scenarios before falling asleep where crazy things would happen and my crush’s sole existence was to fall in love with me 😂😅 so although I have definitely outgrown that phase, I could see how there could be a target audience for this

It's literally Wattpad material 😭 and it definitely falls in the category of people who didn't grow out of their Wattpad phase
I remember reading shatter me and not understanding the hype 😂
I tried gaslighting myself into reading the rest of the series before I finally accepted that shatter me was awful. BTW the audiobook was even worse. The narrator was terrible!
Theres a reason why no one talks about the plot and only talks about warner and julian....jukebox...juliette? Yeah, that's her name lmao. Also nah warner was abusive af i dont know why everyone just straight up forgave and forgot

@@suslarry7 ive never read that book but ive heard stuff. its crazy man. especially since Aaron was consistently sexually harrassing her, stalking her, abusing her and the people around her, forced her to touch not only a guard, but a TODDLER IN DIAPERS just to experiment, grabbed her ripped dress and tore it so he could look at her leg- like what the fuck??

Shatter Me was 100000000% the worst booktok recommendation I’ve ever gotten. Good LORD, it was so absolutely bad!!!
i kind of think it would be fun for you guys to read bride. especially since it's a brand new release. i don't think you've done that yet
I hateeddd shatter me, the writing style was horrible and i got bored easily. Finally i'm finding people with some sense! If you want some actually good book recs, here are some: The Harry Potter series The Hunger Games Aggtm series (A Good Girl's guide to murder) Better than the movies Powerless The Cruel Prince
The way I feel these sort of videos are making me a more judgemental person but it is so fun watching youtube videos where people rant about bad books😀
It’s strange cuz I just read Tahereh Mafi’s new series and it’s largely the same when it comes to world building if not WORSE…nothing happens and we know nothing about anything and it’s all just centered around a basic chosen one trope. Only saving grace is the characters are SORT OF fun
I just got to page 63 and ive been realizing how mediocre the writing is but I kept on because I hadn't seen a bad review yet, I'm so glad I've found people who think the same😅
I LIVE for dbbc videos
Finally I really really hated this book and after seeing all the edits in bookstagram and hype in Pinterest I thought I was problematic one.
Thank you!! I don’t understand why people liked this series! Awful
“…can only be described as someone who looks like they would storm the Capitol…” 😂😂😂
You guys talking about superheros and not mentioning ROGUE was pretty criminal behavior, but it's alright. Also, clobbering time is The Thing 😂 Okay, that's it. Gosh, this was a great episode of DBBC
The pookie comment killed me 😂. Thank you for that Hayden.
I remember loving this when I was like 13 but nothing else 😂 I gotta give it another read for the laughs

Y’all should read Evermore that was my book back in the day 😂

Wait is that connected to the tv show that was there years ago from either nick or Disney?
listen i ate this shit UP when i was 12, but the series is not good lmao
I binged the entire series during the 2020 lockdown - it wasn't well written but I thought it was entertaining overall.
I have to say if you’re planning on reading the next one, Juliette is still in cry mode for like 40% of it if I’m not wrong. It gets better though 😭😭

Nah, the series gets progressively worse 😭 Except for the 3rd book but even still
Shatter me is such an interesting book imo. I totally agree that the book is so bad. I genuinely hated how Juliette was so whiny, she seriously annoyed me. So I can't recommend the book but I do recommend the series. Even just to Ignite Me. By the end of Ignite Me I actually enjoy her as a character. It is not like a 5 star series but it does get good and entertaining.
I read the first three books. Shatter me was bad but compared to the second book it was quite a lot better. The third book was one of the worst things I ever read. If you hated this, way worse is to come
I remember reading this when it was first popular and I semi-enjoyed it? But I didn’t understand the hype and I actively did NOT want to continue the series.
I read this book last year and it felt like a self insert fantasy that was dreamed up in middle school. However, that's not bad, if you take that idea and refine it as an adult. That said, I just put myself on the waiting list for book two and there's like 30 people ahead of me. There's just enough here that I'm willing to give book two a shot.
“It’s official. This is my first 1 star. I’ve given most books 2 stars.” 😹
Nooo how the books are so good
I listened to the audiobook, which was my mistake as well. The narrator gave the main character a very whiny voice. Some aspects of the book were good, but I doubt I'll be continuing onto the second book.
Okay hear me out, for a DBBC omega verse book you could do Bro and the Beast by LC Davis and Joel Abernathy. It’s omegaverse satire. A frat bro gets pulled into his twin’s favorite omegaverse romance novel and finds that he’s replaced the female lead in the book. It’s a series of connected novellas, so they are pretty quick reads and very silly.
Glad I wasn't the only one! I listened to this on audio and I didn't get the hype around this book, I just couldn't get into the plot or the characters
Please continue Throne Of Glass!!
YESSSSS I HATE THIS BOOK
I'm so curious about Shatter Me now. I bought it a few years ago and just haven't read the book yet, but now I think I need to. 😅😂
I've never read these cause I hated the cover. Lmao
I think you guys should read one of the JD Robb books. The first one, Naked in Death, isn't the best but it does set up the characters. As the series evolves, I find the mysteries to be pretty solid with a great found-family quality to the recurring cast of characters.
If you want a new contender for worst dbbc book, may I recommend The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer? I actually had some fun with it because the cringe was so bad I just had to laugh lol
love these! keep'em coming❤
dbbc is the highlight of my day!! please do the folk of the air🤞🏽praying that y’all actually like it cuz it’s one of my faves 😅😂
I love DBBC.
I think they make the girl bookish because it’s easier for the target audience to self insert. Same thing happened in Twilight lol
Don't know if you actually want omegaverse recs, but I've been reading a lot of them lately and Carnage Island by Lexi Foss was 5 stars for me.
Thanks for reading this, you guys, so I don't have to. As always, I was so entertained.
Yeah…this book was a dnf for me 😅
Maybe don’t read this for the DBBC, bc imo it’s pretty good, but you should try out her other series! It starts off with This Woven Kingdom and I believe it’s set to just be a trilogy (but I could be wrong lol)!
I bought the firat 2 books when they first came out due to a youtuber I used to watch. She was obsessed the series. It got to the point that when the 3rd book came out I didnt buy it and gave the other 2 away because the way she talked and even her behaivor towards the author totally put me off the series. Never even read them cause everytime I picked up the first one something made mw put it right back down. Not mad I never read it.
So you’re telling me I SHOULDNT read this for my 2024 BIPOC authors challenge?

So, honest question: is the point of DBBC to kind of “hate on” popular books? Like is the point of it that Chandler and Hayden aren’t going to like whatever book they read?
