I feel like Goodreads overinflates books tbh. I read a series that I was so excited for, PAID money for it, only for the writing to be absolute shit. Like the overall plot & world building was exactly what I wanted, but there were such major issues with the writing that it was difficult to finish it. So many current books r like that but if you read an author like Phillipa Gregory, then read something currently popular it’s like night & freaking day, but both may have the same rating!

Because different people have different taste in books
