I don't believe in banning books, but destroying individual copies u don't want to put back out there is fine. There's probably better ways to do it than burning

Ah, I get that. It was just my theory as to why ppl hate her specifically. I think a lot of ppl who talk about bad tropes in books (romance especially) need to be more consistent with their call-outs, tho. And I dont think that anyone who enjoys them is necessarily in the wrong or doesn't understand, even teens. As long as it's acknowledged (like in ur example) ppl should be allowed to like what they like.

Maybe I misinterpreted, but I thought OP acknowledged that and was asking specifically why her books get more hate than other books that do similar things and don't get called out. Ik her books have a lot of bad tropes that don't get called out in the text; the one I was talking about had it explicit within the text the "love interest" was supposed to be abusive, hence the mis-marketing, and why i thought they might get more hate. Sorry if I worded that wrong.

Idrk. I haven't actually read them, but I heard someone complain about her books being kind of mis-marketed. For example, there was one about an abusive relationship (i think Nov 9) but it was heavily marketed as romance that they didn't feel came in until the end (when MC got with someone else). Idk if that has something to do with it? Or maybe ppl just need a new Twilight to channel all their frustration into.
