“Yeah, sure, he’s the dark and broody book boyfriend everyone wants, but he’s also cringey and a stalker and a not-good person. I can’t defend him, and I don’t understand his hype.”

As a staff writer at BuzzFeed, I write about all things celeb, pop culture, and books.

Some replies are from this thread and this thread as well!

"It's why I sold mine for credit at a used book store… the imprinting on a baby was just too much."

"Rhys just seems like the kind of guy to write a super biased AITA post and then get destroyed in the comments, leading to an update about how actually, he was right, and his sexy, hot wife apologized and promised to listen to him in the future, and is super defensive about how they both laughed about how wrong the commenters from the first post were.

'AITA for being angry with my golden child SL for upsetting my pregnant wife?''

"How that book managed to have so many MAGA undertones without once mentioning Trump is pretty impressive."

"I just read the first book and kinda regret sticking with it. I kept waiting for the more fantasy/paranormal storyline to hit, only to realize it doesn't! And Zade… basically all the things I dislike in a dude wrapped into one. Why is this book recommended so much???"

"Don't get me wrong, I know Hazel is terminally ill, but at least she was honest about it. Augustus could have told her before or after the trip. During it felt a bit wrong for me.

And I felt like he chased after her, even though she didn't want him to, because she's going to die and hurt people because of it.

He told Hazel to come over to his house while Issac was having a hard time with his breakup with Monica. Like, he's chatting up a girl that Isaac knows he likes whilst mourning over the loss of his relationship...

And when something went wrong with his tubes, he called Hazel, telling her not to call anyone and to drive to him. At three in the morning. This is another person who's dying and needs as much rest as she can get. And she's not a medical expert — what if she did something wrong, and she accidentally killed him? How fucking awful she would have felt. And he went to the gas station for a packet of cigarettes. Cigarettes. He only uses them as a metaphor, nothing worth risking his life over.

I don't think Augustus is the worst boyfriend out there, but I feel like he pulled some dick moves. I know when his cancer returns, he hates the fact that he can't do things for himself, and I understand that. However, that doesn't mean he can put other people at risk."

"Malyr needs a permanent restraining order and a long prison sentence. 🤢🤮"
