Booktok & Bookstagram ✿ discussion

I just finished reading it yesterday and I am not a fan at all. I wrote this long review about it which I feel doesn’t articulate my feelings towards the book enough

I bought it yesterday I plan to start it this weekend

I liked it at first. But to me the ending was so stupid. She ended up with the guy that’s the worst possible option. So I gave up and didn’t read that part that’s like 5 years later.

I had to chance their ages in my mind otherwise it just felt icky...

I liked it because it felt like trashy reality tv.

I've read it two month ago. Not a fan.
Not a bad start but really terrible ending. I didn't like who she ended up with, especially not after how she was going throughout the story.

I don't know what this says about me but I actually did enjoy that book, but I do enjoy why choose/taboo books to begin with

"Credence" by Penelope Douglas is a polarizing book—some readers love it for its dark, unconventional romance and emotional depth, while others find the themes uncomfortable or problematic. If you're looking for opinions, you’ll find a mix of passionate fans who appreciate the unique storyline and critics who feel the relationships are too intense or unsettling.

I just bought it and have it on my TBR. I've definitely heard mixed reviews and people either love or hate it passionately. I read the description a very long time ago, so I'm pretty much going into it blind.

Yes. I LOVE it. But fyi, your friends might pick on you because it's somewhat incest, but I don't think it's incest.

I haven't read it, but my friend said she liked it.

I have read it and I really enjoyed it! The more “wrong” it is and the more trigger warnings the better for me… why? I have no idea… but yeah this one got 5 stars from me!

I read and I didn't liked it . The fl is irritating tho

I read it completely blind and bro I was traumatized. Mouth agape, jaw to the floor terrified. 😭

last I read "a smile of betrayal - a novel" it's really fantastic

I am about to start it next!

I hate it

My friends have read it and they enjoyed it but it was a DNF for me. I am just not a penolope douglas fan.

Yes I did enjoy it (audiobook version) but hated reading five brothers. I felt like five brothers was stunt doubling credence.

It was ok, but if people didn't stop talking about it, I would probably forget about it. I find most of PD stuff just ok, nothing great but not terrible. 🤷‍♀️

I really liked it! I always enjoy the age gap trope

It wasn’t for me…found it super problematic 🤷🏻‍♀️

I didn't read the book, but I read the reviews and... nope.

I LOVED it! It was such a moody vibe similar-ish to Flock.

It was a 5-star read for me. It's so much more than people make it out to be.
