my thoughts on haley pham is that she tries to capitalize on all her interests and it comes off as disgenuine and unauthentic

Unfortunately, I think a lot of people need to stick to Wattpad.

Tiktokers who started reading books 1 year ago (did not grow up reading or pursued English at school/uni) should NOT be writing books. Booktok has truly ruined the quality of books

i’m so sorry but just because someone enjoys reading or writing doesn’t mean that they should be an author 😭😭

I knew it was gonna be bad when she made the cover a drawing of her and Ryan. She seems really self serving in this process, not really for the art.

Why does every influencer think they can write just because they read

I knew it wasn’t gonna be well polished when it took her like a month to write it, then she said she didn’t wanna read it and was gonna hire an editor, then literally like two weeks later she’s saying it being published. There was no time for genuine rewrites or restructuring.

I’ll DNF a book so fast if the author swaps every simple word for the fanciest synonym they can find 🫣 put the thesaurus down

I honestly like her but what has been irking me ever since she said she was writing a book is that her goal is to become a nyt bestselling author. Like… shouldn’t your goal be to, idk, tell a good story? Having a bestseller ≠ having written a good book

this makes sense for haley honestly… she seems like she just went out and wrote a book because she likes reading.. but without the actual work into actually becoming a WRITER

First time authors a lot of the time fall into this pit of trying TOO hard to emulate feelings or emotions they’ve felt before and I think this was the case. Trying too hard to be like Emily Henry and not letting herself find her own voice first

she needs to do some type of course or study on literature. everybody can read but very few can successfully write. it's giving english class storyline

it's a bad sign when a book can be boiled down to tropes like "oh this is a closed-door, second-chance romance, Emily Henry style novel"

I think some of this review is valid and some of it is you just not liking the author lol

You shouldn't attack her personally. Nothing is wrong with learning a new word. Also since it's her debut novel, it's not going to be perfect. But constructive criticism is needed to learn and improve. So I do get the rest.

It rubs me the wrong way that her main motivation is to become a NYT Best seller, when she doesn’t have the passion or work ethic to be deserving of that title. And she probably will become a NYT best seller because of her influence not because of the writing. I think if someone wants to write a book, go ahead, but it does make me sad for the authors who are so deserving of that title. Writers who spend years, decades, working on their craft only to be overshadowed by this new wave of booktok authors who are so… banal..
