I Blame BookTok: How Gen Z Accidentally Became The Most Literate Generation On The Internet

You said "I'm not a reader" and then bought 17 books in one week.
Same. Blame BookTok.

I Blame BookTok is the hilarious, unfiltered, and painfully relatable deep dive into how Gen Z accidentally became the most emotionally unhinged-and most literate-generation on the internet. From fanfiction to fantasy, spicy tropes to annotated breakdowns, this book unpacks the chaotic rise of BookTok and how it turned reading into a lifestyle, a personality, and sometimes... a coping mechanism.

If you've ever:

• Cried in the fiction section

• Highlighted every line like it's scripture

• Called a fictional man "my Roman Empire"

• Said "this book changed my life" and meant it

This book is for you.

Written with heart, humor, and just enough feral energy to feel like your group chat with book besties, I Blame BookTok is a love letter to the stories that saved us-and the community that made reading cool again.

Perfect for fans of Book Lovers, Funny You Should Ask, and anyone who's ever said, "I'm just going to read one more chapter."

Warning: Contains emotionally devastating annotations, mild obsession with morally gray men, and a high risk of being seen.
