These authors have all books on Goodreads with 4.00+ ratings! My blood boils whenever I see a young reader in denial about their quality. Typically they might rate their book 3.5/5, then round it up to 4 stars. I've seen stuff like that for other genres too, but it's festering in the YA genre specially.

I find some highly rated "classics" to be crap. Does that mean I want ot top anyone esle from reading them? Nope. Iy means I won't be reading them. I will not read something I do not like. But if anyone else wants to read what I think is dreck, feel free.
