This YA book made me unfathomably angry
In this video I have no choice but to wage a passionate, highly personal war against Matthew Crow, author of The Brilliant Light of Amber Sunrise. The novel in question is a dull, misogynistic window into the world of a teenage proto-incel. The Kissing Booth 2 had more depth.

"the vapid kids at the teen cancer ward" is certainly. a sentence
So we are just going to pretend two popular people/I’m assuming athletic people are just not going to have ANY kind of depth of grief after being diagnosed with cancer that could very well be terminal?!? And to not even make Kelly clinging to her superficiality to avoid thinking/accepting her diagnosis?? Oh yes this was definitely written by a man
I love YA novels where the protagonists say and do things that would've made them the villains in a different novel - like in this case, hogging the tv and not letting a cancer patient watch the one show she wants to watch for an hour.
the breakfast club is such an interesting movie for this guy to pick...... what on earth does he think the movie is about if he doesnt get the extremely obvious like, attempt at humanising and understanding that people are more complex than whatever dumb high school archetype you might place them in. the movie literally SAYS ALL OF THAT OUT LOUD at the end.
oh my god that scene with kelly. I want to scream. There really is a brand of sexist YA drivel written by men that OOZES contempt for young girls.
I can attest that I have not moved my face since 2014. I am every girl.
That picture you showed of Matthew Crow looks like a mugshot
Oh my god, I just came from your degrassi video and when you said you weren’t a big channel I figured you meant you had 100-200k subscribers! Keep releasing such amazingly engaging videos and I’m sure you’ll be huge in no time. You’re among the best media commentary/crit. channels I’ve ever watched
I am indeed a girl who spends all her time blowing out through her lips in a stupid pout, like I'm posing for a profile picture.
So the girl who is also diagnosed with a life threatening illness asks to sit in a room for 30 minutes to watch one episode of a tv show and she gets yelled at and told she doesn’t read 😭 i would be calling the nurses immediately wtfff
The next time I feel insecure about my writing, I'm going to remember this exists and feel better about it.
Holy shit, the fade out to the Joker absolutely sent me. Amazing video!
Came here the next morning after watching your Degrassi video in one setting at 2 AM.
Oh no Matt would be listening to The Smiths, calling The Cure a hippie band or something.
Lowkey bingewatching your channel after (you guessed it!) watching your Degrassi video! I never watched the show nor have I read YA in quite a while, but I am always entertained by what you say and the way in which you express yourself, too. You have a very nice voice as well :) I hope your channel can keep growing and that you continue releasing videos for as long as you enjoy it! <3
“topic of cancer” LMAOOOO🤣🤣🤣
I love books w large print, makes me feel so smart 💓
This book reminds me of if someone combined TFIOS with the dust jacket of Field Guide to the North American Teenager without realizing that the protagonist isn’t supposed to be a beacon of intellectual brilliance.
The one dislike is Matthew Crow
the one direction lip gloss bag is so iconic
