what the fuck kind of crack does this woman put in her books ???? why are all her books masterpieces? why does she have 0 flops??

everytime she writes she comes up with a new unique tale and works her magical words to give us these gifts.

i usually don't use this account to rate 4/5 ⭐️ books, those go on my other account, and i mainly use this account for 3 stars and less.
but i just had to post my reviews of her books here to show that i'm not actually a hateful bitch as i appear in my reviews

Hmm...I don't know how to feel about this book. I don't think Olivie Blake's writing is personally for me, seeing as this is my second time trying her books (but to be fair, I DNF'd the last one I read), and the story sure was something! Toxic and kinda weird but that wasn't what bothered me. Where I sorta lost the plot was the Dzhulyia (pronounced Julia...girl be so for real on that spelling) story line. Like. Be so forreal. This was marketed to me as a fantastical Succession type story and it sure did feel like that show, so that means every character was actually the worst person you'll ever meet and oh boy did that deliver! The siblings were a mess and I did eat that up. 

I just don't think the style of writing is one I can genuinely enjoy. The plot was good enough, but Olivie Blake you have may fans and I am simply not one of them!
