Disrespectfully, I couldn’t give two shits about an author’s opinion on another author’s book- JUST GIVE ME THE SYNOPSIS ON THE BACK!! I shouldn’t have to pull my phone out to google what the book is about

I might be the only weirdo who prefers it on the inside flap. Because I am a complete psychopath and sometimes pick up a book just because of the cover or title and don’t want to know anything about it lol
😂🤣 Agreed. I don't even know if those other authors are sharing their real opinions or are paid to just say they loved reading it.. Or if they even had the book in hand at all 🤣 I want synopsis and tw, not publicity 😜
I also find that, in the horror space at least, all of the authors are known to each other and are often friends, so I can't really trust their judgement on whether a book is good or not. It's like getting your mom to leave a quote.
Same deal in fantasy and romance. I’ll see posts of them at writing retreats together even and then whadya know a year later they both have glowing reviews on each other’s covers.
