My Wattpad Love

2014Ariana Godoy

4.8/5

Sometimes Wattpad shows me amazing stories that I can't put down. Sometimes it shows me ridiculous shit that I can't stand to read past the first chapter. This story is both- ridiculous shit I couldn't put down. It was like a car crash- terrible, but you can't turn away. Hate on me as you will, but I'm sick of hearing about this story everywhere I go on wattpad, and, in growing numbers, tumblr. You might be thinking, if I despise this novel so much, why did I take the time to read it? Because something that has 15 million reads should be some kick-ass story that deserves a blockbuster pronto. \ Wrong, wrong, WRONG.\ Is there anything good about this story? The original plot? Yeah, that's it. But it's not original anymore because the dodobirds of wattpad have recycled the idea about a thousand times now. The plot is the reason why I clicked "start reading" (and because it had 15 million reads) and it let me down.Oh yeah, some girl becomes obsessed with wattpad and a hate comment leads to a romance with a dark, brooding, sexy emo guy. Did I mention the most popular boy in school suddenly takes an interest to Jules, who is mentioned several times as being "nerdy". I smell wattpad cliche in the air. It was predictable. It was boring. Several times I was tempted to bang my head against a wall because of the sheer ridiculousness. Just, well, everything was ridiculous. The characters, the way they behaved, the over-done dramatic scenes so they just made me roll my eyes it was all so cheesy and laughable. Next, the writing- the grammar mistakes. My God, the grammar mistakes. I know I can't be picky about this, but when your story has 15 million reads at least learn where to put your damn apostrophes. The writing was so simple it reminded me of something the guy who sits next to me in English wrote. Not that it was bad, but it was simple. Unpoetical. she could have enriched the quality of her novel with richer words, better descriptions and a beta reader.Basically, I just had to get my feelings for this novel out there. It makes me want to pull my hair out how loved this book is when truthfully, it's ridiculous, poorly written, and cliche. I tried liking it, but when the MC walks on basically every male character naked and makes point of seeing their "little buddy" (that is seriously what the author called it. Just, no, I can't even.) it makes it hard. I can pull a quote straight from the novel that basically sums up how I feel about this book-"Your story is really girly, don't you think? It is not good if you ask me, I don't understand how it is so famous." And right there is the quote that brought our brooding emo love interest with a dark past into the story. Did I mention it has 15.7 million reads and counting and is being published?
