BookTok has revived the book industry and while I will always be grateful for that, some of their recommendations are bit..questionable. Especially when it comes to the romance books. Why aren’t cute and sweet romance books not given more attention? BRING BACK SAPPY ROMANCES!
Anyway, here are a few of my favourite BookTok books that I believe were definitely worth the hype. (Note: The below links are all Amazon links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases)
1. One of Us is Lying by Karen M. McManus
Karen M. McManus can do no wrong, okay? Thank you and goodbye. “One of Us is Lying” is a breakfast club YA mystery that follows a group of teenagers in detention. Five kids enter detention…only four of them leave alive. This was one of those books that you can’t stop reading.
2. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
Not everyone is a fan of Maas (or this series) but ACOTAR remains one of my all-time favourite series. This is a Beauty and the Beast retelling with fairies. Twisted, dark, scary fairies. The world-building in this series is incredible so this is definitely worth a try if you enjoy fantasy.
3. The Hating Game by Sally Thorne
We need more recommendations like this. The Hating Game is an absolutely adorable enemies-to-lovers book set in a publishing company. This book has all the warm, toasty feels.
4. We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
Summer, secrets, stealing. That is a basic summary of “We Were Liars”. Yes, like all fans of this book, I am telling you alot without actually telling you anything at all. Just read the book.
5. It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover
Colleen Hoover is reaching a brand new level of popularity thanks to BookTok. And while I know people either love or hate her, this is definitely one of her better works. Trigger warning: This is a book about domestic abuse.
