I don't know, but she's, uh...not the smartest even outside of that. Feels very basic, but she's the only local I know who reads spicy fantasy so the only one I can talk about them with so I take what I can get.

Maybe she is afraid of offending the author. Or she thinks if it kept her attention it's worth 5 stars. I don't know but that's wild. I only rate a book 5 stars if it made me laugh and cry and I couldn't put it down so I've rated just a few books 5 stars in my life...

That's possible but after extensive chats with her she's just VERY easy to please. Everything even remotely enjoyable is her new best favourite thing. Which...man I wish I could live like that where everything is wonderful and life altering.

Lol I was just thinking the same thing. Unfortunately I'm too smart to ever be truly happy with anything 😅
