Content

Whew.. the girlies strapped in to review booktok's hottest, most contentious sensation: It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover. Between summarizing the plot, suffering through the Ellen Degeneres of it all, and wondering, "WHY HAS NO ONE SUGGESTED ABORTION???", this episode is a wild ride.

content warning: mention/discussion of domestic violence and sexual assault

Comments

Ellie Galt

Roos

I'm only halfway through and this is already my favorite episode of 2023 ❤️❤️

Kaley Alness

Ok I haven't listened yet but THANK YOU I always feel crazy reading/watching something and it's like abortion doesn't exist????

Gabi Gremillion

Can y’all do Verity by Colleen Hoover? It’s better yet equally unhinged

Grace

the stalker element reminds me of a dream I had where I saw eliza and julia leave their house when on a walk and I wanted to say “hi” but I didn’t want them to think I was a stalker who found out where their house was so I just kept walking but I wanted to say hi!!! anyway none of it was real but thanks for reading this book so I didn’t have to

soph

this episode is sooo funny

Macks

Noooo I bought this book for my mom

Lauren Brooks

linsing to this at work and spat my water out all over my keyboard after the UBER! scene

lefthandedscorpio

I would normally wait to listen to a bonus ep on Saturday or Sunday but I couldn’t help myself, this one is too enticing 😫😭🫶

Emma Marion

Before starting this ep I hadn't even heard of this book enough for it to dent my consciousness but 4m in and it already sounds like subpar fanfiction.

Anna Lobmeyer

verity is her suspense novel and that one is hilarious and fun in a thriller setting idk if it’s supposed to be but it’s like watt pad thriller

Ella

Just actually what the fuck, I couldn’t have even begun to imagine that this is what this book would be about

Ella

The Ellen element is fucking insane😭💀😵‍💫

Anna Lobmeyer

also please read a murakami book i need a review i read 1q84 (not that u need to read a 1k page book) and could not believe the obsession that man had with breasts like literally his female characters would only talk about their boobs and wanting other girls boobs and nipple sizes it drove me INSANE would love to hear your opinions on it

Lindsay

Hearing Julia say that she read this book in a day while simultaneously noticing this episode was almost 2 hours long immediately tells me 5 stars without listening.

Meg K

what the fuck why ELLEN

Molly Cahill

The way I was in TEARS laughing at the way you binchies talked about Ryle always taking Ubers. More hilarious book reviews PLEASE! 🤍

Sidney

god tier episode

M

I forgot about the Ellen of it all 🫣

Julia

An hour and FORTYYYYY i’m feasting

Sosse Serpenti

Further bad books reading: Diary of an Oxygen thief, Gothikana, After, Irene Iddesleigh, the Shatter Me Series, would love an Ayn Rand dissection , the Silent Patient, or a book misogyny extravaganza with Carrie by Stephen King, No Longer Human and some Murakami + Bukowski stuff

Greta
>>120804068

No like I couldn’t even finish it it was interesting but sooo ick

Hannah Mitchell

it’s the way in which i know it’s going to be terrible… but now y’all are making me want to read it. i’m a STEMstress and always need do extensive research to come to my own conclusion 🔬👩🏼‍🔬

abby reddy

having never read this book, i feel like i actually don’t need to now. thank you. this was much more enjoyable than actually reading the book y’all are queens

Allie B

Not me crying laughing in cvs over the Uber scene

Cameron

Sadly unsubbing due to finances and the ol’ cozzy livs 🤪 but before I go I just want to say that I really loved this ep. Gonna miss those extra hours of Binchtopia in my ears, be back asap!!

ashley

besties this is some of ur best work. halfway through and i’ve had many a cackle

Kate Ross

I need more book reviews 🤣 I’ve read some CoHo and they weren’t this bad but these are the kinds of feelings I had about The Perfect Marriage (40% through), Things We Never Got Over (only made it to the first line of the second chapter before I was done with it) and Haunting Adeline (under 100 pages). People rave about these books but they’re just so bad

Thomas Pham

What I’m concern is the amount of good reviews it got???

JK

this book was 🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️

Pietra

Isn’t C Hoov pro-life? I thought that was why there’s so many pregnancies in her books (every single one)

Dominique Evans

REVIEW THE FAULT IN OUR STARS !!! not a bad book just kinda corny and a quintessential teen read

Ellen

i did NOT know about the ellen degeneres part and as an ellen i am shonked

Kenzie

If you do this again: please please read verity

Emily West

I’m fucjing cackling

Emily West

Pleaseeeeeee I’m begging read Archer’s Voice for the next one 😭 my book club read it and it’s so fucking weird

Bori Frankus

As someone who cannot afford the Patreon level with the mediasodes, hear u guys discuss a piece of media again made me very happy

Allison M

I’ve been listening to y’all since the very beginning and this was probably the funniest episode you’ve ever put out! PLEASE do more!

Emily Drekmeier

I know someone named Ryle in real life and he’s the worst

Sophie

I was cackling listening to this. Some of your best work truly

Heidi

I read this when I was 13 and literally thought this was the epitome of literature. I am now 18 and am gagged that baby me romanticised their relationship...

Ellen

oh please read STARGIRL and discuss plzzz

Tasha
>>120804068

A man who TRAUMATIZED me gave me a murakami book and idk why it wasn’t an immediate red flag

Shania Davis

I actually really want yall to read one of her thriller books😭I enjoyed them

Tori D

the worst book i’ve ever read is john greens an abundance of katherine’s

Rebecca

I’m giggling fr. Thank u 🫶🏻

Tori D

also i haven’t cackled this hard in a hot second 10/10 episode

KE

Crying at “unhoused boo”

Tess Knoll

BIG agree on the abortion point it always pisses me off when it’s immediately like oh well guess we have this baby now

Jemima McKenna

The scream I scrumpt at the Uber part I was cackling

Emma P

the entire episode all i could think was “ryle ryle crocodile”

Mia Melone

I cackled out loud in a spirit Halloween about the Uber rides

Pietra

The sequel is not good coming from someone who enjoyed the first book 😀

Nina Lalkovic

Do I have to read this book to understand/ enjoy the episode? Would love to listen but cannot subject myself to this

Vanessa Rae

I very much needed this comedic relief after everything happening in my home state maine. This made me laugh for the first time in a couple of days you guys ATE with this episode

mak pate

PPPPLLLLLEEEEAAAAASSSSSEEEEEE read one of the twilight books. My suggestion is Eclipse. I worked at this fuck ass all girls camp for a summer where they stiffed me on my pay and it was a shit show and reading this got me through the crazy. I would love a review of the insanity of the twilight saga in this style, ESPECIALLY following the banger of an episode yall just put out.

bigbootae

My high school English teacher likened the Colleen Hoover craze to the twilight series faze… much to think abt considering the last ep…

✨

I'm so sorry Eliza but I really want you guys to read the sequel. I'm not gonna read it but I really want this plot delivered into my baby bird beak.

✨
>>120823749

For me it's paper towns, I consistently forgot that many people my age loved his books as a kid and have to catch myself from talking shit

ashley

ellen being a major theme of this book was so unprecedented. do u think when the ellen drama happened colleen hoover was like fuckkkkk

✨

Popular book that I personally HATED was Eileen by Ottessa Moshfegh

michaela

i’m so sorry but “her body and other parties” was a DNF for me even tho it’s been all over booktok… interested to know if yall have thoughts on that

lefthandedscorpio

I NEED y’all to review Ugly Love….I’ve heard it’s really bad lmao

emily
>>120828630

i haven't read the book and personally think i enjoyed it more bc of that? the ep is mostly them summarizing the whole plot as if you haven't read it, interspersing short quotes so that you can get a sense of the writing style. and analyzing the themes + cultural appeal a bit at the end. i had and have no desire to read the book, i'm glad i was able to vicariously consume it through this, overall found it to be a v entertaining episode! hope this helps!

Greer Emmeline

If y’all want to dive into a genre that it TRULY bamboozling I would highly suggest looking at the A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J Maas. That lady puts crack cocaine in her books I’m so convinced !!! She has booktok in a chokehold and 17 year old me fell prey to her spell during the pandemic. But also she has SO MANYYYYY questionable themes you could do a full deep dive on like every book in that series. The most recent one featured a man (who is supposed to be perfect husband feminist angel bat) JUST NOT TELLING his wife that her pregnancy will kill her and her baby. Soooo ya. Based on this ep and the twilight content as of late (both of which were so slay) I feel like y’all would absolutely eat it up. And then spit it out 🤪 Some selling points include: - creepy age gaps with 500 year old faerie men - so many unnecessary sex scenes - drugging your girl to “protect” her - locking your fiancé in your mansion to “protect” her - low key some furry vibes?? - lots of themes of mental health but likeee are they handled realistically? - dead beat dads - the main love interest is described to look like the author’s husband omgggg - touching a faerie’s wings makes them come?? PARDON?? Ok that’s enough out of me! Thanks for such a lovely ep!!

Amanda Weymouth

I WAS A ELLEN MEGA FAN WHEN I WAS A CHILD! Please stop the misinformation

Kate Savage
>>120804068

Omg Kafka on the Shore was so unhinged... I have no idea how so many people loved it - like it was actually repulsive in parts!! Which is weird bc i LOVE Norwegian Wood... much to consider

Amanda Weymouth

The most unrealistic part has to be the easy separation. Usually with relationships like this, where the man has a lot money, he will continue the abuse (post-separation abuse) via going in on the victim in court and custody battles and wearing her down completely

anna lewis

i would LOVE to hear y’all’s thoughts on Girl, Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis! I remember when all the girlies were reading this one and it’s roughhh

Tess

will yall review the Britney Spears memoir?

cordelia price

also so real that she would make a good thriller writer - verity is a thriller written by her which i think is MUCH better but still so unhinged

cordelia price

the binchies are so right an ep like this on twilight would be life changing

cordelia price

i think ‘we were liars’ is one of the silliest books i’ve ever read and i’m p sure that’s big on booktok

Kate Ledvina

Walking through my neighborhood cackling crying

✨
>>120830778

Well I didn't finish it, so if you love her other books don't let this dissuade you. I loved "year of RnR" and "death in her hands" but I found this book to be just honestly disgusting and it didn't pick up fast enough to make the disgusting part worth it. Moshfegh is soooo focused on the 'ins and outs' of this woman, like every bit of food, glass of water, pill, piss, shit, throw up, and sweat is THOROUGHLY documented. It was giving ED but not even in a way where I was like "hmm characterization" it just felt like Moshfegh's ED popping up in her book. Couldn't tell you what the plot was because there was a brick wall of disgusting descriptions of non-events for 50 pages at the beginning.

Maddy

Do this again but Fourth Wing 🤭🤭

mari !

review punk 57 by penelope dougless

Kate Ledvina
>>120830778

THANK YOU! I find it so interesting how divisive her books are. I loved year of R&R and hated Death in her Hands. I’ve been debating between reading Eileen or Lapvona next for a while so I appreciate your insight

Ash M

Genuinely trying to understand how anyone enjoyed this book?!

✨
>>120830778

So true - everyone I've talked to her about her has a different breakdown of the books they hated and the books they loved. It's really interesting!!

Karen Fonstad
>>120831121

Ok fair that book is a bit hit or miss but her other book “in the dream house” is honestly one of the best books I’ve ever read would recommend

Karen Fonstad

I had to stop in the street bent over wheezing at the Uber thing ✋

Dianna Cohen
>>120842393

not the binchies talking abt this but maintainance phase has a rachel hollis episode

Lisa

This sounds like a fake book. Every new piece of information I’m like … what. ???

savannah

also pls read verity u think this shit is bad oh god its maybe worse😭😭😭

Erin

The way Eliza read the line after he "slowly pulled out of her" (🤮) 😅

Ryan Setchel

the way that the length of this episode is exactly how long i’m going to be on this train…. just for me

Lisa

“Her indentured servant friend” 🤣🤣🤣

Emma

Kept cackling while on a run that when I passed people I had to pause the podcast

Rylie G

40 min in and obsessed with Eliza’s dedication to saying Lily Blossom Bloom every time

Luca Jacoe

I was wayyyy toooo intoxicated last night and my boyfriend had to bring me home from a party drunk and he said the only thing that calmed me down was when he put y’all on 😭 I was like throwing up to Colleen Hoover talk

Lia Slaystress

Please please PLEASE read an Omegaverse book and review ittttttt. I was cackling at this so much I need some bad furry vibes

sonny
>>120808989

NEED a binchie review of the silent patient!! i had such high hopes for the twists at the end like Eliza with the neurosurgeon thing and that book was exactly what i expected and i was so fucking mad by the time i finished

allie wisniewski

so grateful i didn’t have to read this thank u

sonny
>>120808989

and i have to know what julias psychology brain has to say about the contents of that book

Audrey Ashdown

you NEED to review a court of thrones and roses

madison 💐

unhoused boo gets a whole arc in it starts with us 🤌🏻

Victoria Chung

CREDENCE BY PENELOPE DOUGLAS was genuinely the worst book i’ve ever read. truly insane. i’ve read many booktok books and this one takes the cake.

Melissa Zargon

Please read it starts with us and review it

Kate Kelley

Hearing you guys talking about A Court of Thorns and Roses would be LIFE CHANGING to manyyy

Kate Kelley

Reminding me of the time my grandpa texted me and asked “what are some books recommendations from Colleen Hoover” ☹️

Julia

would licherally pay an extra dollar for more semi-regular bad book content ya’ll killed it

Alexis Visinsky

this book is giving harry styles fanfic vibes

savannah

pretty girls by karin slaughter is incredibly popular and super fucked up major trigger warnings but damn would love to hear yall discuss that one

Natasha stekl

Ok def a different lane than Hoover but Exciting Times by Naoise Dolan could be lowkey interesting to talk about bc it’s not that bad but also the main character really annoyed me and it could lead to an interesting dive into like the lowkey neocolonial nature of expat culture. It’s like one of the top books recommended if you are looking for books similar to like conversations with friends but I found it really different

Leoni

Agree so much with how annoying it is when films/tv shows don’t consider abortion as an option

Miranda Berube

This was one of the funniest episodes I've ever heard I had to stop blending my makeup multiple times so I could cackle

Shannon Doyle

Julia i know it's probs the adhd but pleeeaase work on not interrupting Eliza, I want to hear her thoughts!

Sarah

eleanor & park was sooo popular when i was in middle school and i ate it up at the time, but looking back.... i would love to hear your thoughts on it!

Emily Olson

I NEED to hear you do ACOTAR

Franki

nah cuz every time i’ve listened to sinkhole love i think of atlas corrigan 😭

Luisa Giancristofaro

im not even done w the ep yet but can yall PLEASE do more of these like im obsessed

marisa

This book is just giving bpd ngl

Hayley

Wowee as a mass general dept of neurology employee this is so funny to me. The youngest neurosurgeon in my dept is maybe 45. Never seen one with a stethoscope. They a wear lab coat, suit and tie every day 🤪 no scrubs out of the unit

Erin Valenzuela

Worst book I’ve read that’s popular is either a thousand boy kissed (WEIRD CHRISTIAN PROPAGANDA- about a girl who is dying and has this weird on off again mans and she only kisses him and wants 1000 before she dies) or perfect marriage- really cool concept but AWFULLY written. The dialogue and punctuation specifically- which really speaks to how bad punctuation is, since that’s never bothered me in a book so clearly. The plot twitsts were god awful and the law stuff all seemed very untrue - I’m no lawyer but Can your spouse defend you in a muere case? Lmk in the comments

Nicole Beaumont

PLEASE do the second book! Also a recent god awful tik tok popular book i read was the house across the lake and off the deep end. Both plot twists were unbearable

ssteph

as a resident of butffuck nowhere town new england, i would also think boston is the best place ever if i’d never been somewhere else i’ll give her that

Celeste

Ladies… don’t come for me… but I (and all my friends) too loved Ellen Degeneres as a child. Every day after school. From ages of literally 8-13 probably.

Emily

This is binchtopia at its best, thank u

Helen Weiss

THIS SLAPPPPS! Please please review the „After“ series movies or books or both. Haven‘t seen or read any of it cause I‘m OLD (33) but the clips I‘ve seen are horrendous. It started as Harry Styles fanfic, so… you can imagine the quality. Loved this episode!!! So funny as always. Linsiiiing is a joy 😍

Edna Mode

Can we get an ACOTAR review in the room

Michelle Choi

Popular book that I personally found heinous: normal people by sally rooney

Katelyn Schroeder

banger of an episode ty ladies. Bad book Rec = the Dolly Parton and James Patterson collab Run Rose Run I absolutely hated it

Hannah

My new fav ep

Emma

Y’all my mom just told me about how she’s reading a really good book and loves the storyline and pulled this book out 😩😩 almost screamed

Kira

i read confess by her and it was truly heinous this was in like 2017 prob? before anything lmao but it was recommended and once again strange abuse plot line and saved by another man and i remember being like this leaves a bad taste in my mouth…little did i know this was a pattern never read her again and then suddenly she’s inescapable!!!

Kendall Castillo

Y’all pleaseeee read A Certain Hunger I’ve only ever seen positive reviews about it and i thought it was so so bad I could not finish it. It’s an example of an author using “he inquired” and 1000 unnecessary adjectives with 0 character development

Alaina+Zoe

Pleaseee do more book reviews, this was very hilarious and entertaining. Love your minds

Hailey Smith

I loved this ep!!!! PLEASE review why men love bitches it’s the worst book in the entire world and so popular 😤😤😤

maggie mcdonald

PLEASEEEE read den of vipers. its the craziest smuttiest book i’ve ever read with mafia brother smut??? there’s a whole community of people who love this author and this type of novel and it is wild to me

Hannah

please read verity next

Katie

This is my comfort episode

Nina Caradonna

this format was so funny PLEASE do more

Olivia Neal

not surprised that colleen hoover named her main love interest ryle when she has a son named cale

Sammy Fajardo

Bringing it to a place of abortion, the celebration of death starts and ends with flowers ????

Vanja
>>120823749

I only read looking for Alaska and hated it so much that I never picked up another John green book again

nora cloud

y’all once likened colleen hoover to taylor jenkins reid and i’ve never forgotten that. hope you’ve seen the light 🫶

Jess

I actually thought you were making up the Ellen part as a bit 😭😭😭 there’s no fucking way

✨
>>120893873

I watched her everyday when I got home from school

Angela Gluck

Pleeeease read After by Anna Todd and review

Emily Matthews

I need a movie version of this directed by the two of y’all

rae

ELIZA PLS UPDATE

Raegan Meyers

Constantly refreshing, I need a ghost update Eliza I’m so scared

kiara

can you guys please talk about palestine :(

Charlie Wright
>>120924861

Also not to be weird but I recognize ur name because we have a lot of mutuals lmao hi 😭

Charlie Wright

Fell victim to booktok and read Brutes by Dizz Tate. But it genuinely might be so unsubstantial that it couldn’t make a good episode

Quinn Spencer

I’m so curious about a court of thorns and roses and trust u queens with my life

Lucy

One thing about the girlies critiquing is I’m gonna listen

Kate Ross

I can’t remember if I’ve already commented but so many people loved The Perfect Marriage and it is genuinely the worst book I have ever read.

Robyn

Yesssss! Pls do more book reviews of pop literature

Robyn

ACOTAR time

Luteal Swan

Who did the parasocial obsessions better… ?otessa moshfeighs no name character in my year of R&R who was obsessed with whippi Goldberg? Or miss Colleen Hoover having Lilly be obsessed with Ellen? Lmao

Isabel Alves de Lima

Binchies! The replay ticket says on some pages it’s available for 48 hours and other pages it’s available until November 12 do you know which is true? Can’t sit down to watch until Wednesday so hoping it’s Nov 12 🤞

Kendall Castillo
>>120924861

And maybe I’m being dramatic about a certain hunger, I read it in 2021 but I just remember being shocked because of all the hype around it… I found the author to be trying really hard to be shocking and it wasn’t hitting for me. I saw the comment about the book you read and also think this one might not be substantial enough for a whole ep, but Eliza’s comments about the character being underdeveloped and the author using extra vocab reminded me so much of it I had to comment

Kendall Castillo
>>120924861

I don’t want to deter you though I had a friend who read it and didn’t love it but she also didn’t think it was bad! So maybe just not my thing…if you read it lmk though lol

Annette Le

please read november 9!!! it cracks me up seeing people read it

Kirby Harris

You guys should read After by Anna Todd (Harry Styles fan fiction book)

Amanda Crampton

help I loved getting home from school to watch Ellen in 2007 I was such a 11 year old fan of that bitch 🫣

Haley Raymond

i literally should not have read this book when i was 16

Roni

Stooop bc my moment of weakness when I bought this stupid book was at the airport: immediate regret but I couldn’t return. Also I’m less than 10mins into this episode, but I would totally subscribe if you guys did a separate pod just for reviewing books 💸 💕

Kim Chhina

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE DO MORE BOOK REVIEWS ON LITERALLY ANY BOOK

Cori Litt

Lmfaooo man. This is the birth of a full on wildly popular book review series by you two I feel it in my bones. Stars were born

Cori Litt

many laughs were had please please do more

Maura Dill

Pleaseeee Read pretty little liars queeeeens

Luteal Swan

Also queens I love you very much and I am 1000% pro choice, but it is not as easy as just saying “oh get an abortion” abortions are a process and can be traumatizing for folks in their own ways, even if they chose that. I wasn’t gonna say anything at first but I feel like the abortion comments are really flippant. It’s not always an easy choice..Just something to think about and I loved this ep :)

Sidney Donlea

you could have told me you made up this plot as a bit and i would have believed u

melf

i’m so happy this is so validating <3 fuck these airport ass books

Samika B

I am still advocating for a Sally Rooney episode

Talya Horton

have read 3 colleen hoover books and each time i’m astounded at the pregnancy of it all

Nora bedard

Omg I also hate Justin Baldoni, he made a ted talk about how women are better than men which is so annoying and contributes to this idea that women are like celestial beings who don’t feel anger, shame, guilt and lack complexity

Madeline Goodwin

I still don’t believe he’s a neurosurgeon

kiara
>>120955166

i mean i just looked and there’s zero on elizas. no posts or anything on either her acc or the binchtopia acc

kiara
>>120955166

last night all i saw from their main account were story posts with them in halloween costumes… feeling disappointed

Genevieve Severini

Ladies. I NEED you to read crave by Tracy Wolff. It is so camp.

Helen Meigs

OBSESSED with this episode more please!!!!

ida

plssssssss read a court of thorns & roses

ida

also advocating for a movie review of practical magic and/or mermaids, for the autumnal vibes

Sophie Wingfield

This episode had me peeing my pants. Please do more book reviews

Amelia Teske

you guys the way i finished this episode as i pulled into the barnes and noble parking lot and then walked myself to the doors and there are stickers that say “it ends with us” and “it starts with us” in boom chicka pop font on each of the doors…

Libby Zemke

the plot sounds exactly like after lmfao

maya

truly cannot fathom the fact that i read colleen hoover 8-10th grade lmfao her plots are INSANE. november 9th and maybe someday live rent free in my head tbh those ones are EGREGIOUS

Annip
>>120995623

they seemed to be mostly upset that the option of an abortion was never discussed or even mentioned. of course it’s a tough decision but for lily it wasn’t even considered as part of the decision making

meredith

Can we pls continue to have a binchie bad book club

Hannah

McScuse Me!™️

steverella

oh i CANT WAIT for this one

Georgia VanRy

Colleen Hoover was quoted being like, “ I didn’t know neurosurgeons go to school for 50 years” and that’s why they’re going to be older in the movie.. obsessed with the fact that she wrote her main character as a neurosurgeon without knowing a thing about it

Gillian McPhail

please review call if what you want by alissa derogatis! she is self punish author and advertises this book all over her fucking tik tok. the writing is genuinely horrible, characters are flat as hell and this girl is throwing up over a fucking frat boy. like girl stand up!!

hippienikki

YES CANVA SLANDERRRR 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥finally

Riley Burton

here for the Justin baldoni slander! that man is hot af but he’s so cringe it’s nauseating

Irelyne McGee

Not me spelunking in my mothers audible only to find this exact book

Yael
>>121045475

Lmao yes as soon as they started explaining the “twist” with how the friend is his sister all I could think of was Jane the virgin

Yael
>>120916743

I haven’t read normal people but I couldn’t stand beautiful world where are you !!

Maddie Gardner

please do more episodes like this it was so funny

Annalise Sydney Ashlyn

The worst book I ever read was Acts of Service by Lillian Fishman. It was marketed as a cool wlw book but ended up with the lesbian mc fucking a horrible man the whole time. I’m so mad I read it, it’s sucks so bad.

Virginia Nault

need your thoughts on the alchemist. i am that books #1 hater.

Grace Casscles

Pleaseeee do this for After and talk about fanfic culture in general!!

amelia c

i fear 140 may be my resting heart rate

kendall

Would loveeeee an episode on the Sarah J Mass books (ACOTAR series) but i think the first two books need to be read

Hannah B
>>120961762

I loved brutes but you have to just be there for the vibes, the plot is not there lol

Celeste
>>120904707

omgg!!! its so much worse than you can ever imagine.. i literally cannot believe that book had me reading straight porn in the hallways of middle school lmao

Maia T P

A very divisive one but I NEED your thoughts on My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh

Maya

This neeeeeeds to be a series. Please keep reading absolutely terrible books (specifically ones that book tok is obsessed with because those are the WORST). Anything Sarah J Mass would be so entertaining

Westray

I agree that it's insane that she didn't bring up the possibility of abortion, especially when she wrote in a plotline of a main character attempting to give herself multiple DIY abortions that resulted in one of her kids having a full ass scar on their face and then attempts to kill them multiple times after they're born?? in another book (Verity)

Hope Kerrigan

I fear i did sub to the Patreon just because i heard how good this ep is…

Jessica Santos

Please read the Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood. Worst book ever it makes It Ends With Us a classic literary staple lmao

Ashlynn Long

this is my new comfort episode

Caroline

PLEASE do acotar I’ve never read but watched a full breakdown on YouTube and I need your reactions…you wanna talk about some real looney toons sex shit

Lucy Hemsworth

I may have just got my patreon subscription for this Ep!!! Too excited

Kaylee

Plz do another ep like this, as a girlie deep into booktok I love listening to discourse over some of the genuinely heinous recommendations

morgan
>>120955166

she hasn’t made any posts, but she’s posted a few things to her story

I literally subscribed just for the month to hear this episode and I’ve never spent $5 in a better way. This episode had me screaming in laughter like omg I love y’all so much thanks for being my besties and GETTING IT. The girls who get it get it and Julia and Eliza are the highlight of my day. Literally rip to Colleen Hoovers career cuz she’s finally getting called out for writing shitty books ahahaha

MJ Ingram

this was so good!!!!! i loved this please do more!!

Quinn

PLEASE read The Love Hypothesis (Ali Hazelwood), a THINLY veiled Reylo wattpad fic that got published, and now she’s got like five more books out and it’s Reylo all the way down. There’s a scene where he puts her whole boob in his mouth.

i edited fanfictions freelance between like 2011-2015 and whenever i see one of these new adult/ young adult romance novels i check to see if i can pinpoint which fanfic it’s a reskin of. it’s so much more egregious than people realize and i sound insane if i point it out. this episode is fantastic even if it made me realize how long i’ve been online

for some people, abortion is an incredibly easy choice to make. i don’t think it’s necessarily appropriate to comment on their opinions in a paywalled episode with disclaimers on subject matter. i’m sure you mean well, but i don’t think it’s on them if listeners listen knowing all of that.

Hi indie!! Sorry I haven’t talked to you in awhile I deactivated my ig!! Yeah it definitely depends on circumstance for sure! Sometimes it’s easy, and sometimes it can be traumatic. Especially when it’s involving DV, even if it’s a fictional book we’re talking about. Where I’m coming from: I’ve had people who have experienced abortions educate me on how it has the potential to be a sensitive subject, so I guess from my own bias I am coming from the standpoint of treading lightly on that matter. I do have to disagree on saying it’s not appropriate to comment on their opinions, because binchtopia is all about nuanced takes, and I do pay for the content. I tried to be as nice as possible, and I am not at all saying I’m against abortion or talking about it. I will forever be pro choice and even donate to the planned parenthood in my state. Now more than ever we should be discussing it, all I’m saying is be gentle with the subject. This was just the way I perceived it, but also just because it’s my perception doesn’t mean I am right, also doesn’t mean they are right. It’s all what’s subject to our own reality!!

Victoria Radke

i’m obsessed w eliza’s almost crunchy esque laugh in this episode. i can feel myself now embracing that laugh

Paola, Maya, & Jessi

I think After won the Instagram poll but please please pleaaaase review ACOTAR🙏 After is kind of similar abusive relationship themes (less so than It Ends With Us, but does have more cheating), ACOTAR is like ridiculous fairy kingdom love triangle / weirdo ass “primal” “male/female” logic / light sisterhood aspect, I need your thoughts queens

Mon

PLEASEE read bridgerton. as cheesy as the netflix series is i love it but the books are horrendous and not romantic AT ALL. i’ve read better smut on wattpad when i was in middle school.

Kara

ellen was lowkey my idol but i am now a lesbian who loves late night tv so that checks out

Sophia Forte

Ryle Kincaid??? Is it supposed to be an Irish name? 😭 its a completely made up name, doesn’t exist in Ireland

Evelyn M

PLEASE read looking for alaska by john greene. horrible read

Averi
>>121074475

oh my god i just read that book and it SUCKED. maybe only inspirational for a man with no introspection?? the personal legend shit made me cringe

molly

thank you for your service so I never have to read this godawful book! love u parasocial besties

Evan Tietema

Definitely read Bridgerton, Looking for Alaska, The Love Hypothesis, or anything by Emily Benjamin

Megan

Please read hidden pictures by Jason Rekulak, genuinely one of the worst books I’ve ever read ft a bunch of conservative propaganda

Rocio Sergio

this is my new comfort episode

Rocio Sergio

another absolutely twisted and fucked up CH book is Ugly Love. themes include: light incest, switches back and forth between two storylines in present and past, and another lack of abortion consideration

Kenya Faith

not the boom chicka pop font 💀💀💀

Emily

The way y’all might enjoy Verity 👀👀 also love all the comments saying The Love Hypothesis is horrible bc I feel so gaslighted but everyone saying it’s a must read when I couldn’t even get through like 10 pages ☠️

Clara Clark

The casserole hate was the only thing unwarranted here 😂😂😂

Nathalie Bessette

Book recommendations: All The Bright Places (tried so hard to be Looking For Alaska but is sooo bad and empty) and The Lucky Ones (basically if Colleen Hoover wrote a book romanticizing a school shooting)

malaika

i loved this so much, pleaseeee make this a segment 🫶🫶

ixia
>>121654888

Verity is the one Colleen Hoover book I read and YES please read verity binchies. Y’all will lose it

Destiny

really popular book that i thought was horrible: a court of thorns and roses (actually the entire series lol)

Charlie

i can’t believe Colleen Hoover unironically integrated Ellen Degeneres as a background character

Rachel Blaschke

I used to be a Colleen Hoover Stan so I am really looking fwd to this ep

Ondine
>>121667366

noooo all the bright places is sooo much better than looking for alaska - the movie is shit tho

Ondine

if they do ACOTAR i may read it…

Ondine

PLEASE READ SHATTER ME it’s sooo fucjing bad and def romanticises weird shit

Delaney Gustavson

I feel. The need to say that the Ellen show was my biggest hyperfixation in elementary school. I was constantly emailing and submitting videos to “ellentube”. The Ellen show is a sickness and I was VERY ill.

Julianna Faye

girl if you're smelling toast that's not ryle that's a stroke!!!!!!

Sophia

all women in stem should read LOVE HYPOTHESIS😻 (reylo fanfic turned booktok book) julia as a phd candidate u may actually die laughing

Lee Schmidt

Can I just say as a surgery resident I haven’t touched a stethoscope since my first month so your read on him being a fake-ass neurosurgeon is VALID

Lee Schmidt
>>121991812

also it’s impossible to finish neurosurgery residency before age 30 so this man is a fucking liar

Danielle

Damn I didn’t know what this book was about and it sounds HORRIBLE

Sally Noble

I have to tell y’all I got Colleen Hoover and Colleen Ballinger (Miranda sings) mixed up so this entire episode I was picturing Miranda sings writing this book. I didn’t realize till i finished the episode and looked her up on insta hahaha

Sally Noble
>>122507155

And it MADE SENSE bc Im pretty sure I heard once that Miranda sings and Ellen are friends??

meowmeowmeowe

i somehow got on colleen hoover tok they call her CoHo 😭 Not one hate comment 😭

Haleigh

I will say that as a child, I loved the Ellen show and watched it all the time after school

Milly

LOVE IT

Calín

Girls. My WORST ex from college dumped his girlfriend and she posted “the way my last relationship was the plot of It Ends With Us”. UHHHH NOOOOO!!!!!! Ryle is not slay

Hen

I’m late to the conversation but I feel it’s important to say as someone who’s left a domestic violence situation. Having a main character be so irritatingly vague, meek and one dimensional is insulting. Quick side note: In no way should anyone have to put up with an abusive person but telling someone to leave isn’t helpful and usually further isolates the victim.

julia!

y’all should read one of the reylo romances that are super popular right now!!!

Maddiee

pllleeeaaassseee review verity please

Amanda M

Julia being surprised that a child could realistically like Ellen Degeneres is so funny to me because I was so obsessed with Suze Orman, the lesbian personal finance expert of the 2000s. I made a Mii of her on my Wii

Ava

I subscribed to the Patreon for this. Tried listening before bed but was laughing so much throughout I had to save it for the next day. LOVED it

Chiara Eleonora Ghetti

PLEASE review Layla, another from Colleen Hoover... truly a psychotic and horrifying read...

Madilyn Warner

Olena Malich

Mathias Niss

Boston has pretty alright public transportation uber is NOT necessary

Maria Alvarado

Begging for the Verity bad book club episode

katbebie

I love you Julia and Eliza. When these books became popular, I thought to myself, ‘am I the only one who thinks these books are problematic…’ and I always know I can count on you girls to confirm and expand my beliefs. Just subscribed to Patreon after 3 years of listening to you. So happy I did. Please come to Toronto for live show. ❤️

Ainsly Puckett

Pls read my ‘heart and other black holes’… disgusting suicide romance y/a novel

Lily Ana Verna

Sarah Harmet

jaden.edu

Meisha Tailor

Watched the film tonight and was cackling thinking about this episode, I know it’s not that different to reviewing the book but would love to know your thoughts on the movie and surrounding drama teehee xxx

Also went and saw the film today and returned to this. Honestly Julia’s take on Justin Baldoni still holds up in a way but like. His corniness is (I think) a huge part of WHY he’s taking the message of this book so seriously. Idk idk idk
