i need to ban myself from reading the reviews on GR because if i read ONE bad review that rings well-versed i immediately doubt the book and wonder if it’ll be worth the read even tho it has a decent overall rating (say 3.5-3.9 stars for example)

It’s best to read after! I either laugh in agreement or in disagreement when I scroll through the 1-stars. Plus everyone may hate a book you end up liking, so just read what you think is cool

I only ever read the reviews on GR after I read a book and honestly it’s kinda entertaining bc often the book will have 4+ stars overall rating and then I’ll go and read 1 star reviews for shits and giggles

I never read reviews tbh 😂 it always ruins stuff. Only time I check reviews are when I’m applying to a job.
