Warda 😂 what? That makes no sense


message 2: by Dab (new)

Dab Right?? I honestly don’t get why people hate the pregnancy trope so much, I love it! But also, if you hate it so much, maybe just don’t request the arc 🤷‍♀️

Annika That is crazy! I am so over people judging books by tropes instead of actual quality.
Also I totally agree with you regarding why is it such a bad trope? 😂I like it too. If you dislike something, then avoid it. Most 1 ⭐️ reviews are usually purity / content outrage. Let people read and love what they enjoy❤️

Sarah Mac I don’t like pregnancy stories as a general rule, but ffs, it’s not like they’re hard to spot. Don’t request them you don’t want them! 🙄 As for judging/hating solely by tropes, preach it. But this is where we’ll stay until the audience majority returns to reading comprehension skills rather than selecting books via trope lists.


message 5: by Annika (new)

Annika Sarah yes! Reading comprehension skills is something to aspire too! Also sitting with a character’s flaws and bad decisions without going into meltdown mode. Sometimes a character does bad things that we wouldn’t do or like, readers need to create that space without breaking down😁

Sarah Mac Omg that drives me NUTS! Give the story/MCs space to breathe & grow, y’all. Perfect People from pg 1 is so boring. 🥱
