Congrats on getting Creator of The Year Jack ! INCREDIBLE (and well deserved)!
The newsletter was so cute and fun to read. Maybe I'm a little biased because i love your content so much but honestly I'm so so soooo excited for the next one and the next one and basically I'm excited to hear everything that you have to say through your videos and newsletters. OHMYGOD i cant wait for your novel. Ik it's gonna aweeesoommeee and it's nt even written yet lol. All the very best and i loved it. Even though my opinion probably doesn't mean much but yea had to put it out there. ❤️
my school library made a “booktok made me read it” shelf. they may not be “intellectually sophisticated”, but they get people who don’t usually read into reading, and a person reading is a person reading regardless what they read
wow, i wish my school at least had that for other people
100% -- also, they're just books that other people enjoyed! no shame in getting recs from tiktok!
It’s a crazy way to get people to read. If it’s working
agreed! there’s so much booktok hate but making reading accessible is a good thing in my book. people who hate the proliferation of “easy” books just want to feel like they’re better than everyone else 😭 like everyone’s reading journey has to start somewhere!
That’s such an awesome and original concept for school libraries! That’s awesome.
"If your attractive you can do what you want and if your not you'll end up in jail" Summing up the romance genre

@@danevans551 fr 💀 I read "It Ends with Us" and realized I am never reading another one of her books.
@@danevans551 I wish more people would realize this when reading her books. It's like they gloss over all the problematic things that the male character does because they're attractive. It's so weird and icky.🤮
imagine being the student in that lecture and seeing a student sit on your prof’s lap the whole entire lecture. I’d drop the whole class 😂😭

@@muskaan3711 That’s directly where i’m headed to after getting out of class
It wasn’t actually a class it was ted talk in an auditorium and heroines friend made her sit on his lap cause it was way too crowded and no seats available.
@@joellem625 What book is this?
The more puns he makes the more I’m convinced Jack is that weird uncle at christmas that you see once a year who never knows what is going on but tries regardless to fit in at the kids table
Exactly 😭😭
omg i want jack uncle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH MY GAUD- 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is it just me, or is listening to Jack discussing books that he absolutely despises a million times more entertaining than when he actually likes the books!? Love your videos and love you Jack ;)
I feel the same way when WithCindy does book rant videos on books that should never have seen the light of day 😂 Entertainment at its finest, truly 😌
Yess sameee
something about book rants makes me smile
So, confirmed that's why I love them both and only watch them. Not saying other booktubers are wrong it's just when they rant about books they give so much comic relief. With their puns and all. That's the only reason I hope for bad books so both of my favourite booktubers read ut and make fun of them
if so then we should make him read After.

Same, almost made me read the book just because of that line XD
HAHAHAH
“If you are attractive you can do what you want, and if you’re not attractive you will end up in jail” that’s why you should alway apply the Danny DeVito Rule, where if changing the actor/character to Danny DeVito made the character a psycho, they were always a psycho (eg. Christian Grey)
OMG I love this 😂
i’m ACTUALLY dying
this is a great rule
Poor Danny DeVito 😭😂😂😂
If you change the actor to Jack Nicholson though, the character will become a psycho even if they weren't one before... 😝
Jack: “…ADDISON RAE-TING…” Me: “You’ve reached the height of your powers of punnery and can get only better from here.”

Lmfao agreed 😂
My copy of the atlas six has that printed on the front cover (or, I think, it says “viral tiktok sensation”). I should have been warned by a sticker like that; i really dislike the book. I’ll just take a sticker like that as a warning in the future…
@@annikania2682 I was planning to read that book. The pilot seemed interesting... Why didn't you like it?
@@nafalii4202 I hope this is spoiler free enough; It is very much a character-driven book, and I personally didn’t like a singe character. They somehow also don’t really have any really strong motivations to do what they do, at least for the first half. I did pick this up because of the promise of dark academia and a magic system/world building, and neither was really developed? So it had a bit too much of the not-my-cup-of-tea characters and not enough of the world. Also, English is not my first language, but that hasn’t been a problem in reading books (and papers, and textbooks) in years. The language in this hurt me in a negative way :c I did read ninth house right after I dnf’d the atlas six; if you have no bigger problems with anything on the tr1gger-warning list, I’d kinda suggest that more. It’s still not a 5 star read, but it was a lot more of what I was looking for.
My Dark Vanessa started off as the author’s PHD thesis which I love and also makes sense when you read it. The themes are so well done.
That's so unique wow! Love that they turned into the book.
@@agirlwithajournal Another author who started writing their book or at least about their book as a thesis was Madeline Miller who was planning to do her masters thesis on Patroclus and Achilles but instead rewrote their story as a novel and published it.
Would you recommend reading Lolita before reading My Dark Vanessa?
@@bennyzink3832 no, i did that and i find my dark vanessa very annoying at times because they writer refrences lolita wayyyyyy too many times. I get that the main character likes lolita and it obviously is a parralel to this story but it just became cringe how many times she refrences humbert... i still have to finish my dark vanessa tho so maybe i will come back and change my opinion who knows!
@@arshiyaamreen5808 that’s incredible!!
I don’t have tiktok so I can’t really say much about the specific books recommended on there, but what I will say is that I’m forever grateful for the impact it had on international bookstores. I’m from a non English speaking country and before booktok, my bookstores didn’t sell English books at all. Now they have a huge English books section thanks to booktok popularizing international authors in my country and it’s just great for someone like me who prefers to read English books instead of ones that were translated into my language
I feel the same! I work in a bookstore too and we're so happy about all the children/teens reading again. Before booktok we had a few young people every day but now about 35% of all our customers are young people buying booktok books!! It's lovely to see so many people read!
exactly! I live in Vietnam, before booktok hardly any bookstore here sells English books except for classics, so I always had to read online. Now bookstores are stocking so many English books that just makes me so happy
wow, that's really interesting to know, thanks for sharing!
Omg yes! I noticed that too (in Germany)
That’s so true. I couldn’t find English books in my bookstores too but now it’s really easy to find popular books
a romance book originally being fanfiction is a big red flag generally

@@sadpowie can you please recommend me some, iam new reader and have no idea where to start
I LOVE the love hypotheses but I also agree with all the criticism/hate this book gets. why? because it really wasnt great. why do I love this book? Because I had the BEST time reading it!! I felt like a 14 year old again who is reading without asking questions. it was great. it's very hard to explain but I've been craving this feeling lately
Me too!
Yes!!!
Finally someone said it!!!
I'm so glad I'm not alone with this 🥺
same!! reading it was sm fun
I always feel validated when Jack highly rates a book I already had on my TBR, anyone else lmaooo
That’s me waiting for him to hate a book i also dislike so i don’t feel alone 😭
Same! For example, I felt so relieved when he said he really liked It Happened One Summer, as if I needed his validation to keep loving the book lol, weird 😂
@@irenehm I saw him loving the book a day before I started IHOS and it made me relieved that I may enjoy it too 😍
My dark Vanessa is one of the best books I've ever read and I will definitely never read it again. It made me realise how much I had in common with vanessa. This book opened my eyes to the idea that I may be a victim. So yes, really great book but also one of the most horrifying things I've ever read.
I hope you're doing ok now ❤️.
Hope you're doing well, Conny. sending much love and support your way❤️ I agree with your sentiments about loving that book but not wanting to reread it. I failed to finish it twice and would always stop at her and the teacher's first time.
@@soumyatarinimishra5908 that scene was so horrible, so hard to get through. I also think I could never read the book again, it made me realize too many difficult things about myself. However, it is one of the greatest masterpieces I've ever read and I applaud the author for making it clear that they were NOT depicting a love story, but an abusive one.
I used to read but during college I just stopped. It was like 6-7 years of barely reading anything. Then I got curious about Love Hypothesis on tiktok. I read it in one day lmao. After that I "remembered" the joy of reading and started reading again. I probably read like 25 books since then. I know LH is not that good and cheesy in hindsight but I got a soft spot for it :D
Yeah,I get that. For me it's Book Lovers. It got me out of the reading slump and I love it.
Omg exactly the same for me too!
I totally understand because same here!!
SAME
"Good" is subjective. If you enjoyed that book then you can say it is good and do not let anyone tell you otherwise. Not every book has to have top-notch writing and unique plot to be enjoyable. Personally I read for fun and my own enjoyment. And I don't give a crap about people who give bad reviews or say that one piece of literature is just because they didn't personally like it or it wasn't their usual taste. Keep in mind that Jack isn't really a romance reader and probably is not in the target audience. Read what you want, you rock! 😊
I had the complete opposite reaction to Book Lovers and It Happened One Summer. Couldn't even make it past the reading sample for the second one but absolutely devoured Book Lovers. It's funny how different tastes are
I think that if Jack read Book Lovers first, his opinion would be different, or if he read Bunny, then one of the romances, then My Dark Vanessa, then another romance. Every booktuber that I follow that reads romance didn't like It Happened One Summer that much (and one or two even DNF). I LOVED Book Lovers, I bought the English edition, and I'm gonna buy the translated version to my first language as well.
I totally agree with you! It's so weird because I usually have the same opinions as Jack but
Yeah I enjoyed book lovers! Probably if Jack didn't read one romance book after another..
agreed, i thought jack would enjoy book lovers way more cos i loved it
Same! I enjoy the hell out of Book Lovers. I don't hate It Happened One Summer but I genuinely cannot remember what it was. I really can't remember. it's that unmemorable to me 😭

Not me scrolling the comments just to see if anybody else had noticed

literally i came all way down to see any comment on it
Iconic? Haha ok, just a few years ago people would be bullied for wearing something like that to school 😅
“If I had a nickel for every time …I would have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice” did Jack just seamlessly quote Dr Doofenshmirtz
Yes he did and I was looking of this comment!😂
nah I read the love hypothesis, was so disappointed, couldn’t stop talking about how much I hated it so my mate snatched it from my room and set it on fire in her fireplace🙂

Holy shit why
@@Hudoosha_2007 idk man😭😭
😂😂
She's a real one
i love emily henry’s books and her writing and though your criticism may be valid, i will die on this hill
Me too! Beach read and book lovers are two of my favorite romance books I've read in the last few years.
okay The Love Hypothesis wasn't the greatest but i will give it props for getting me out of my reading slump 😅 it's one of those easy reading books i picked up with absolutely no expectations, just for fun
Same here!!
SAME it's been about five years since my "reading era" and a friend recommended me this book and after reading it i was like wow i don't remember reading being this fun lmao
for me, book lovers broke away from the typical trope because it was about finding or redefining love in more than one relationship. it was just as much about the sisters' relationship, if not more, than the romance itself. also being an adult woman with a younger sister made me get into my feelz.
not gonna lie, most of the times when I read a romance book, I am absolutely in love with it and give it 5 stars, then the more I think about it how horrendously cringy some lines are, that I cringe so hard and I lower my rating :')
no shame in loving the cringe!
We are the same person bruh
To me it's the opposite. Romance is hard to read and them somebody asks what is it about, and I think about the characters and only then notice how interesting it actually is.
i also disliked strongly the love hypothesis, i just didn’t see how they really bonded? the book felt so long yet i felt like i learned so little about the characters
I think fanfic just doesn’t translate well into published fiction. I’ve read some amazing fanfic but there’s something about fanfic-turned-books that makes them stick out - TLH, red white & royal blue, even if you can’t tell the fandom you can just /tell/
@@ajknight8640 I don’t think red white and royal blue was a fanfic
@@sunbeam42 I’m so so sorry you had to find out this way but it was a fanfic of the social network. Like the movie about mark zuckerberg featuring jesse eisenberg and andrew garfield 😭
@@ajknight8640 Where did you read that?
Its poorly written thats why. I compared LH with the kiss quotient (more or leas same fake-dating premise) but the kiss quotient is objectively written better. The LH meanders and monologues and is just… childish. Really. Adults dont act this way highschoolers do. So thats why its awkward to read
jack giving the love hypothesis 2 stars absolutely validated my feelings about this book
i fear if u keep releasing these i’ll end up with way too many books on my tbr
Lmfao already too late for me 😂
too late for me. stay strong soldier
You mean you don't already?
Out of Context Jack Edwards: “If we don’t acknowledge the chaos, it’s not happening.”
you chose looks she chooses books - all of us not just obsessed with reading but watching others read 😭
I read another book called the Love Hypothesis. At first I thought it was the same book but when I heard what was going in it I realised that they’re nothing to do with each other. The one I read was more comedic and was about the LGBTQ+ community and friendships and other things. The author was Laura Steven.
Is it worth the read?
@@anabashkimi4803 I’d definitely give it a reread if I didn’t have other unfinished books to read.😊
I read this one too! Wasn't what I was expecting at all but I'm glad I kept reading, it was really good in the end. :)
I was gonna buy the Love Hypothesis book cuz of all the hype. Thanks to this video I can now save my money.
Good choice, don’t buy it! I did and i still regret it😂
she's a real one for that
If you're interested in reading fanfiction you can find better ones than the love hypothesis
It's more of like wattpad smut.
Bro if u wanna read smit u gotta read a funny one. Like lines like there's no chair u gotta sit on my face or smth. Weird,toxic smuts turn u off.
I love how he says he is scared to critique Booklovers but then proceeds to fully roast it for like an entire minute
as he should
I’m so happy you read My Dark Vanessa, I read it over the summer and it broke my heart and put the pieces back together again over and over. I’m so happy you liked it :)
Yes me too, heartbreaking, the way she thinks she is ‘special’ throughout the book too then realises she is one of many.
I feel like there's often good and bad book recommendations on TikTok. We all have our literary preferences, so it's best for us to read the blurb first before proceeding with further caution.
My Dark Vanessa is one of the most challenging, but best books I’ve ever read. I think it does such an amazing job of showing how complicated it is being a victim of abuse. I also liked Bunny, but found I lost interest towards the end. The first few times she went to the bunny’s parties, I was so intrigued and was loving it
I have always trusted Jack’s taste in books. But after everything he said about The Love Hypothesis, he’s on the very top of my TO BE TRUSTED list now.
He said the same thing that Cindy (read with Cindy) said, but she liked it, and he didn't, rating is s subjective
exactly..i trust his taste in books so damn much
My Dark Vanessa is one of my favourite books of all time. The subject matter is so incredibly heavy but so well done. I read it like a year ago and I still think about it to this day! Just an absolute masterpiece.
As a biology major I loved the Love Hypothesis because of the lab references and just the fact that there’s finally a book about being a scientist who can experience romance that isn’t just having intimate relationships with your textbook. While I don’t agree with with Jack’s review, I do have to say that that lap scene was not it and so uncomfortable to read 🥴
On a side note, that Addison Raeting joke needs to be thrown away into a dark hole and never be seen again. -1000000000/5
Same I'm chemistry major wanted to switch chemistry to computer as i didn't wanted to pursue higher studies on chemistry now look at me preparing for PHD entrance😅
I also liked it🙂
Ahhhh Jack! I missed these types of videos
me too! i'm excited to film more stuff like this in the next few months :)
I think I manifested this video getting posted. I finished sobbing after Hamnet ended and I thought “god I need a pick-me-up, maybe there’s a new Jack video?”
Jack absolutely wrecked me by recommending Hamnet and I love him for it
Hamnet HURT.
The love hypothesis defence club!! It wasn't made to be a literature masterpiece lmaoo its just for fun
CONGRATULATIONS! So proud of u for getting the award!!
we hypothesised the book was good. our hypothesis was wrong.
The best fake dating trope story (movie) I've seen is in a CDrama, Upcoming Summer. I only realised it was a fake dating story the third time I watched it. It's not a book but the trope was really well written in that one.
When Jack was explaining the storyline of My Dark Vanessa, it gave me literal goosebumps.
Bunny by Mona Awad is incredible and im so glad you liked it!!! the person who narrated the audio book is absolutely phenomenal and could not recommend it enough!
I really liked loved hypothesis but when i listen to jack's thoughts, it makes sense😂
Hey I knew it was shallow wish fulfillment fanfic but that’s what I wanted and the audio was free on yt so I clean half the apartment great deal I can’t like listen to art while I clean I need fanficsh stuff it’s great it’s either that or true crime and somehow I’m all out of TC
Same, I love it and didn't find the lecture part weird and actually really felt kilig about it haha (I guess I didn't really care about the academic stuff and I was just focus on their relationship 😆) but I still love it despite hearing Jack's thoughts about it which makes sense.
petition for you to finish solving cain's jawbone.
YES
I’m so surprised you liked It Happened One Summer and yet felt disappointed with Book Lovers. Had the opposite experience here, but to each their own 👀 More Jack reading and reviewing popular books on booktok please!
i legit got the funniest ad break of all time omfg 3:00 Jack: "she'll have to sit on his LAP--" AD: [ sad tolling bells as a medley of stock photo people hold their heads distraught with the text "Jesus was alone too" ] Jack: "ON. His LAP"
Excited to see what you think of Bunny! I need to re-read it for this season
Glad you enjoyed it!!😂 that book is definitely a fever dream, and just…wild
Here we gooo, I'm loving all these videos PS: CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR AWARD JACK! YOU DESERVED IT BOY
The review of Book Lovers is just so accurate. Not that any other review isn't, but finally somebody said what I wanted to for a long time.
Literally HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THIS MAN???
Jack I love you sooo much… but you broke my heart when you said you hated the love hypothesis. Because I love that that book soo much, but I also love you and value your opinion sooo much
SAME!
I totally understand how you felt after reading Book Lovers but I would really recommend Beach Read by Emily Henry, I feel like it's such an authentic story and the characters are really well developed, it also has a lot of the same elements that are in It Happened One Summer!
Except it’s way better than It Happened One Summer lol
Thank you for the great video and the needed warning about BookTok Jack 😂! Highly recommend the Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion if you haven’t read it already, the plot has similar elements to the Love Hypothesis but the way the narrative is structured keeps you both engaged in what is happening and equally excited about the following page !
Love these types of videos, hope you do a part 3 soon ! 😁👍🏻✨
Oh the dream to have a job as cool as yours reading books for life, I’m cherishing each video you make & your synopsis are always ever so helpful!
It hurts that you hate the love hypothesis.. I loved it.. However I am also in the same academic fields and therefore it's so fun to me. I am not on tiktok but I found it on the dutch version of amazone (bol) and the science aspect made me buy it and I loved it so much. Planned to read it on vacation but I finished it a week before I left for vacation
Thank you for reccomending Bunny! I read it this past week because of your video and I've been recommending it to all my friends since. That book is CAMP and its amazing for it.
Jack I love your book reviews. And your comedic timing is genius.
"If we don't acknowledge the chaos, it's not happening" Words to live by 😌
Omg I just finished “The Love Hypothesis,” and I love how much you hate it too 😂 I don’t usually feel that strongly about bad books, but this one really brought out a lot of feelings (and not good kinds.) Those are a few hours we’ll never get back…
Loved loved loved this video. So funny and witty and charming as always, great snappy pacing, nice variety of books and your sandwich analogy at the end was the cherry on top
really enjoyed this video, love that you give a honest opinion with a bit of description of the plot. question: where did you get your harry styles t-shirt from? it's amazing!
I've read all three of the romances and i think it's so interesting how taste varies because my favourite was book lovers by far i really enjoyed the way it was written and i liked the setting and characters and quotes while it happened one summer felt more bland (still fun to read though but i didn't like the main girl at times)!
I was so excited to watch this and see what you thought of one of my favorite books this year and you ripped it to shreds 😭😭 R.I.P the Love Hypothesis
I LOVED Bunny. I ended up finishing it months ago and it hasn't left my mind. It is such a fun read.
It's so interesting, because I found myself SO much more invested in the Book Lovers couple vs It Happened One Summer couple. The former seemed more believable and what I liked is that she actually gave attention to the other characters (how the lead and her sister got along and exploring that relationship in depth), and I didn't like how the other characters in IHOS fell by the wayside a bit too quickly.
I think one of the reasons why Book Lovers is so underwhelming is because it’s marketed as a romance which is true but it’s mostly about the female lead’s (whose name I forgot) relationship with her sister, and also because it’s kinda meh. Beach Read still remains superior to me.
THIS THIS THISSSSS! This is my biggest complaint about the book! The book is about sisters! And they just forced the romance in! Kind of like little women if you think about it! If you have seen/read it! But I feel like the team knew it wouldn’t work if they didn’t market it as a romance book!
I was very excited to see your reaction to Bunny. Partly because I love the book itself, but also because it is a weird book. And I personally like weirdness in my books, but also vagueness. I don't want everything explained to me. And yeah, sometimes things are off the rails weird, and it is fantastic. I personally describe Bunny as a bloody axe covered with pink glitter, and it made me realise a subgenre that I do dig but it is hard to describe and hard to find books within it.
"The love hypothesis" was the first book that got me into romance and one of my favorite's. 💀 I can't wait to read the rest of "It happened one summer" though! Im currently reading it right now!
Same! I read it in one day because it was so good.
Sameee
i love the love hypothesis! yeah i can acknowledge that from a technical standpoint it's not the best piece of literature but i read it in a time when i was going through a lot of worries and stressful changes in university. it was so fun and easy to read that for a while i felt like i was back to being the young book-lover me instead of the depressed med student that i was who hadn't enjoyed a book in ages. after that my love of reading came back and i've read a couple more books since then (and life has been pretty uphill as well!). so ya this book has a pretty special place in my heart
Jack: “A big, large, ginormous, huge man.” Me: “Is Jack Edwards describing my type?”
“My dark Vanessa” is the reason I’m in a reading slump rn
oh absolutelyyyyy to your review of Book Lovers, I'm so glad you spoke on it!
The Love Hypothesis is my comfort book. I read it knowing it was a rom-com, so everything "stupid" that happened in it made sense since it is not a serious or realistic book. It a "dumb reading" where you don't think about anything, appreciate Adam Carlsen existence, dream of coffee dates and learn more about Grad School's life, as concerned by this life people confirmed that it was astonishingly pretty accurate. However, I can understand why it isn't for everyone and people's negative opinions on it, since its quality's opinion is purely based on subjectivity for everyone, me included.
My favourite thing about moving to London is managing to watch Jack's videos as soon as they're uploaded lmao
Totally agree with what you said about the love hypothesis. Also the scene when he pushed that track was so stupid i literally hated that scene
I would absolutely love to see a video of Jack’s favorite book from 3-4 different authors. Like which Emily Henry book is your favorite? A Best of video if you will with mini reviews/ratings!
Just today I was thinking to start with something new and the notification of this video popped up !❤️
I absolutely loved my dark Vanessa when I've read it, it's so beautifully written and shows Vanessa's trauma and how it mainly started affecting her as she grew older...a triggering book but definitely a realistic one that shows the corruption of our society and the abuse of power.
Once again, Jack making me fall in love with reading, a video at a time. Also his puns are HILARIOUS
oh my god i’m so happy that you loved ‘it happened one summer’ !!! my favourite romance i’ve ever read and i honestly don’t think anything will ever beat it
Yes!! Embrace the cheesiness and enjoy the books!! 😊 To me, bunny was somewhat of a feverish dream/nightmare, and dark Vanessa just broke me
I am SO glad you liked My Dark Vanessa! I haven't stopped thinking of it since I read it in 2020
So glad you’ve read My Dark Vanessa, remember recommending this to you quite a while ago now. Totally understand the trigger warning, I was forewarned by staff in Waterstones before buying. I got a little mixed up at times with the American school/college system! A fantastic, emotional book.
i really liked Emily Henry's writing when i read Beach Read, i am now going to read Book Lovers and I don't know it already feels like it's not as good lol but i'm probably going to enjoy it anyways

Bunny's been on my TBR for a while now, but I can't decide if I want to buy a print copy or listen to the audio book, so I've been putting off reading it lol. But I guess this is my sign to just make up my mind already! That said, I assume you'd like All's Well as well if you liked Bunny, it sounds like they're in the same ball park of weirdness.
starting my day right by watching a jack edwards video
I just finished 'Bunny' tonight, and I had *such* a good time with it. I'm glad you did, too! 😁 'My Dark Vanessa' is on my TBR, but... I think I need to work up to that one. XD
I finally read a book that Jack recommended! I've been a viewer since forever but I hadn't actually gotten around to reading one partially because our taste in books is so different. Anyway, would recommend, My Year of R&R is really good!
I read My Dark Vanessa right after reading Lolita which was perfect timing for me bc otherwise I wouldn’t really understand the references. All in all, My Dark Vanessa is definitely a book I’ll take with me and will remember forever. It’s shocking that this isn’t a memoir and Vanessa isn’t real although I know unfortunately there is too many Vanessas out there that are and relate to this story. 💔
