It’s just not well written or original at all. Plus the publisher is super problematic in their publishing practices. I get people like it but some refuse to acknowledge the bad parts. Like Acotar got me back into reading but I acknowledge the writing and characters are honestly awful.
It definitely has done well, but considering the average adult doesn’t read above a 5th grade reading level, the writing isn’t noticeable to most people. At least people are reading. Doesn’t make the quality of the book better though. I’m just upset because I went into it really wanting to like it, and super excited. But even with all the chances I gave it, I ended up super disappointed ☹️
