Summary
In today’s episode, we’re revisiting some of the most popular fantasy, romance, literary fiction, and classic books we’ve ever reviewed… because honestly? We were WRONG about some of these ratings. From beloved BookTok fantasy series and viral romance books to classic literature staples and modern literary fiction, we’re sharing the books we should’ve rated higher — and the books we may have seriously overrated. We discuss books like Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, Normal People by Sally Rooney, Assassin’s Apprentice by Robin Hobb, From Blood & Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout, Powerless by Lauren Roberts, The Folk of the Air by Holly Black, A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid, Christina Lauren romances, and more.
