The most overhyped book on booktok

Hii and welcome to diaryofanoverthinker today I will be talking about a book that i think is overhyped on booktok. So my fellow reader sit back relax and enjoy. 

What book?

The book series that I think is overhyped is the Shatter Me series by Tahereh Mafi now before you come at me just read the whole blog and try and understand why I feel this way. 

Phase 1 :Why I think it’s overhyped

So I wanted to read the series for awhile because everyone on booktok was like omg its an amazing book and obviously everyone was obsessing over Warner and I was like I’m definitely going to read this book. I finally got down to starting it when pretty much everyone in my class well all the readers started reading it and that’s when I decided ok I’m actually going to read this. I finally finished it like 2 weeks ago after a lot of procrastination after/during  Restore Me.

 Now I read the novellas and the books and yes it was a good book and some of the plot twists were just shocking and honestly at firsts I was like ok this is good but after Ignite me things started to change….

 The thing with book series are after awhile of reading it can get  a bit slow and even boring especially of there’s more than 3 books. After awhile I was kinda over it and I just wanted the series to be over or get to the good parts because it was getting a bit annoying. 

 Honestly I think the fact that people always go on about how amazing it is got me over excited and my expectations exceeded reality. 

Phase 2: My thoughts on Warner 

Now a big reasons why I wanted to read this was Warner and everyone being all like “omg he’s amazing” and then when they like Grayson from The Inheritance game they call it post Warner depression or whatnot I highly disagree. Firstly Grayson is NOT like Warner the only thing they have in common is their blond hair and full suits(no disrespect to Grayson he is an amazing character).

 Look Warner is cool and I get he doesn’t like people and he cares for Juliette/Ella and his father abused him but he can be really mean heck even Kenji agrees with that. Now don’t get me wrong I like Warner he’s a good character and some stuff he says is really relatable and he adds on to the story not to mention he’s actually really nice to James which I love but in my opinion he isn’t as great as booktok makes him out to be. Honestly I think kenji is better and other books have wayyyy better characters E.g Cardan, Ravi,Grayson,Jameson, Jase etc.

P.S no hater if you like him this is just my opinion I have loads of friends who think he's amazing

Phase 3: Juliette/ Ella

This is where everything comes together now she is the main character but she gets really annoying at a point in the series and then I just want the reestablishment to kill her or desperately want to get out of her POV because it’s the worst one. Honestly I really think Kenji and Warner are amazing for loving her because I wouldn’t save her when she got kidnapped both time I’d just leave her. So this is probably why I didn’t like it that much because like I hate the main character but that could just be my

Conclusion 

In conclusion it’s not that bad I mean it is a good series it’s just overhyped and Warner is really overhyped and he is an amazing character but like the hype just not worth it. So I’d definitely say you should read it but I don’t think it needs that much of hype because there are way better books that don’t get a hype and that’s unfair.   

Well that’s all for today please remember this is just my opinion so it doesn’t mean it’s right or wrong so please don’t hate me because I didn’t like the book as much as everyone else and I hope you enjoyed it.
