This question gets posted on this sub again and again, and the answers are all different but all the same. It comes down to personal preference.

Sometimes I don’t want to read Charles Dickens. Sometimes I just want to read the reality TV of books, the romcom of books, a book that I can start and finish in a single seating. And once in a while one of these turns out to exceed my expectations. I don’t expect Ted Chiang plot with Anthony Doerr writing. I just expect a romcom with a twist and a nice ending, so I set my expectation right. If Colleen Hoover and Emily Henry is not for you, then they are not for you. You might feel disappointed, or that you wasted your time on them, and that’s fine. Read the type of books you like and don’t worry about the hype.
