I haven’t read Coleen Hoover, but I’ve handed out 5 star reviews to my trashy, guilty pleasure books before. Like if I read a book that really pulls me all the way through it, that’s a 5 star book imo. It can also apply for works of great literature that tell something powerful, but I’m not holding on to my 5 stars for the kind of books I read once a year or less frequently.
Murderbot Diaries, the Scholomance series, and the Saint of Steel books all get 5 stars in my goodreads
