This Book Will BREAK You? The Truth About BookTok's Marketing Tactics
In this deep-dive video essay, we explore the psychology behind BookTok’s biggest emotional trends and how publishers are using trauma, vulnerability, and love-bombing to sell books. From “This book ruined me” TikToks to carefully staged crying videos, we’ll unpack how feelings are marketed—and why it matters.

This isn’t a takedown of creators or readers—it’s an honest conversation about how modern publishing and influencer culture are shaping how we choose what to read.

✨ Whether you’re a reader, writer, or just someone curious about the publishing world, this is a video you won’t want to miss.

📌 Topics Covered:

The rise of trauma-core and “cry marketing” in BookTok
Why publishers love emotionally viral books
