Elsie Silver is definitely much more of a conventional romance author than Colleen Hoover- I think it’s interesting she’s been such a big success because I don’t think her books are that different than anything else out there. They’re basically trope driven small town contemporary romances

I often say I spend more time reading about books than actually reading books, so I get the hyper fixation on specific authors. I'm not a BookTok person, so I'm not inundated with novel-hype.

I appreciate you take on things.

Thank you! I feel like it’s now coming out how much undisclosed paid advertising that booktok has in its midst, which makes me feel better and worse?
