She really takes the edge off. With books, there are like a couple of authors who are like trendy and viral and everybody reads their book that comes out. And I find that more often than not, like it's not worth the hype. But Ellen Hildebrand like is that bitch for a reason. Not all of her books are the best books ever. A couple of her books are the best books ever, but all of her books are good.
