3 Popular #BookTok Books I Wasn’t A Fan Of

The Silent Patient- Not sure if it is my pattern recognition skills, but knew early on who was culpable and who wasn’t. Loved the pace, but dragged on at certain points. It was very creative I will say!

The Perfect Marriage- Omg, the biggest disappointment! I could instantly tell what was going on. However, it did keep you entertained and would recommend for beginner thriller readers!

Never Lie- This has to be the most popular Frieda book, and I am not exactly sure why. It was fast paced, #but I feel like other Frieda books are far more entertaining than this one.

... Read moreThe rise of #BookTok has brought numerous novels into the spotlight, yet not every popular title resonates with every reader. In this article, I discuss three highly recommended thriller novels—'The Silent Patient' by Alex Michaelides, 'The Perfect Marriage' by Jeneva Rose, and 'Never Lie' by Frieda McFadden. Each of these books has achieved bestseller status and generated significant buzz, but my personal experience highlights some common critiques. 'The Silent Patient' is known for its psychological depth and innovative twists, but I found myself predicting key plot points rather early on, which diminished my reading enjoyment. On the other hand, 'The Perfect Marriage,' while offering an engaging narrative, felt formulaic and predictable. I believe it's a suitable pick for those new to thrillers, yet failed to deliver the gripping suspense I sought. Finally, with 'Never Lie,' a title that many hail as Frieda McFadden's best work, I shared a feeling of discontent; while fast-paced, it didn't offer the suspenseful punch I had anticipated. For those who are passionate about reading and are navigating the current trends within the literary community, it’s essential to approach #BookTok recommendations with a discerning eye. Consider your reading preferences and the buzz around these titles critically, as not every trend aligns with all readers' tastes. Happy reading!
