Does anyone else have a particular book that, if someone you follow gives it a good review, you have to unfollow them immediately, or is that just me and I'm a horrible person?

⋆☆☽ Kriss ☾☆⋆ There are probably some books that if I saw someone state they loved it and it seemed to me like they're praising/accepting/loving some aspect or several aspects that I found ethically problematic and immoral (or even just ignoring and denying them), I would unfollow/unfriend, maybe even block.

I'm not someone who is going to have much of a true problem with a deviation in opinion (which is probably pretty harmless and just persona taste), but divisions/deviations in ethics are things I can't overlook.

Kara V. A Court of Wings and Ruin is NEW ADULT/EROTICA but Goodreads editors won't tell you to include it in the choice awards wrote: "The wild, all the books that promote rape."

Yup! I unfriended someone because they gushed over a series about a gymnastics teacher who's 30, who sleeps with his student (she's 15 at the start of the series, and 16 when they sleep together. He also has a fiancee that he lives and has sex with). Sorry, but that's child molestation, and I'm not here for it.

Yeah, I'm not gonna unfriend someone because they love Kristen Ashley books or are huge into BDSM. That's not to my taste, but it's just personal preference and I can deal with that. But there are books that are just morally wrong (see my response to V above), and I'm not fucking with people who think it's okay to stan books about child molestation, rapists getting an HEA, or abusers marrying their victims.
