Whole heartedly agree
printing this out to go on my wall of favorite goodreads reviews
This review is funnier than 100% of the book.
This comment was funnier than the whole book itself
Ava, why are you going on every negative review and leaving rude comments?? its not a good look. like i said in the other review i saw you comment on, everyone is allowed to feel however they feel about the books they read. its not up to you to dictate how someone will review a book.
Best review I've read all year. Bravo.
@Ava reviews are not for authors. They are not “critiques” to help authors grow. That is not the job of a reader or even an advanced copy reader. Authors can get critiques on their own. And who put you in charge of giving your opinions on reviews? If you disagree, then just move along.
@Ava, have you ever stopped to think "am I tone policing"? I'm sure that would save you a lot of time
Why hating on a youth pastor? What does that have to do with this book?
This seems to be an unnecessary attack on Christians. What does this have to do with the book?
This is the best review ever LMAO
I agree with you Ava and Carolyn. What does this have to do with a youth pastor?? And isn’t the point of reviews and early readers to…review for the author??

*shrug*
It’s great that Ava has had a friendly youth pastor, but that doesn’t really matter in this context. It’s a joke, based on the premise that many Christian youth pastors are uncomfortable and unfunny. So that’s the joke. It’s using a stereotype. Saying “well MY youth pastor is funny!! :(“ doesn’t really matter. Because the joke uses a stereotypical youth pastor, not your personal experience.
Also yes, this is a funny “attack” at Christians, because Christianity is very problematic. So it’s okay to use them as the butt of a light-hearted book review joke. It’s not that deep. Moving on.

So, Lo, I am of..."I'm not reading this. I'm never going to read this. I would apologize but I'm not sorry. I already read Assistant to the Villain. I have suffered enough. I encourage you to talk about your feelings and this experience with your youth pastor and maybe they can help you work through whatever it is you have going on so you can find peace.
Gromance wrote: "Then don’t read it 🤦🏽♀️🤣"do you think I wrote this review before I read the book or do you think i read the book and then wrote the review. Which scenario seems more likely.
Yup, I agree with you.

Niah, your review is fantastic, and these comments are a trip 🤣. Authors who don't know the first rule of the internet (never read the comments) are bound to make fools of themselves.
I DNF’d at 3% I kinda am curious now all the Cristian pastor comments. 🤷🏻♀️
I read your review, then DNF’d at 9%, and I see your point exactly
Succinct and so wonderfully accurate
idk if i should be offended by this or not bc my youth pastor is the funniest person i’ve ever met 😭😭

LOL this is so savage and actually laughable as a comment. I spent my unfortunate childhood among countless youth pastors most days and I can say as a matter of fact that this book does not at all have that vibe. If it gave cringe Chrizzo vibes I never would have gotten through it. I know it’s just your opinion, but I’m actually so insulted on behalf of this book that I’ve enjoyed so much, that I felt the need to comment this.
Your attitude in the comment make your review mean far less. Truly gross behavior.
@kayla don’t take it so seriously 😅i’m a Christian woman and found it funny
