It is such a palate cleanser. I was an avid fanfiction reader as a young teenager and I was a sucker for all the cheesy romance tropes. SJM books satisfy that same itch. I know her books get a lot of hate for being bad writing, cliche, etc. but I indulge in them when I just want to read something and not be able to put it down because I must know what happens next because the cliffhanger or the horrible sex scenes or the tension leading up to them is so unbearable (cringing).

Idk they all got 5 stars from me simply because I couldn’t put them down and because the characters were so fanfiction-y.

A few pages into Nevernight.

The weird narration style and the back forth between POV’s from paragraph to paragraph was insufferable. Also the very graphic, tasteless sex scene at the beginning was a big no for me.
