Great review, Brandon! I’m so excited to read this one
if this is what yall can accept as “severe ocd” yall have no idea how ocd looks like 😭
i agree with bedriska severe OCD literally left me debilitated ain't no way i would've been thinking about sugar daddies while having a panic attack every five minutes
i love your takes usually, but were you paid for this review?
No, I was not paid, but I also do not support this book. I read it about a year ago and can’t remember the writing one way or another, but yeah no AI is killing the planet and I would never willingly support it.
Once Goodreads allows changes to reviews for this book I will be updating my review to state that.
Wait, so this book was written using AI?
@jeral it’s not been entirely confirmed yet (I’m sure Orbit is going to have to look into it or investigate it somehow) and I read it last year when it was self published and genuinely cannot remember the writing, but at the very least it’s looking like it was at least assisted by ai, if not partially or fully written with it. Frankie’s Shelf on YT made a really in depth video on it that I’m going to watch soon.
You're quoted/ blurbed for this book on Spotify right now
Thank you for this update, I dnf-ed this book when it was first released, didn’t like the writing at all and now I see why it was off putting to me. I also watched Frankie’s Shelf video and couldn’t agree more with what was said there.
Damn! Very interesting and very disappointing. Thank you for the update!
Thanks for the update! It's great that you took the time to so thoughtfully clarify everything.
I read this not too long ago and loved it. I listened to an audio ARC, so I also don't remember the writing much. It's difficult because we can't prove 100% AI was used or not unless the author admits to it. Such an unfortunate situation, but like you said, I hope they at least make a statement. It would look pretty sus if nothing is said on their part.
I'll have to keep an eye on how this unfolds, because I wanted to read it so bad! But I won't *knowingly* read AI. Thank you, I always appreciate your reviews and takes! ❤️
Appreciate the update and your transparency. I always look forward to your reviews
There was a sentence in Chapter 8 after she gets an eviction notice that says "Notice: Five days to pay rent or quit" that had me question how this passed editing but then I was like, well maybe this is a non US phase I am unaware of the meaning?
i was also so disheartened to hear this was most likely AI, it still won’t let me edit my review :(
@maggie I took that to just be a slum-lord not knowing eviction laws
Thanks for this. I was looking up books that feature AI & this review popped up. This is really disappointing.
So disappointing. Once I can update my GR review I'll have some things to say
