How do you tell if a newly released novel or non-fiction book is overhyped?

I know this question might sound strange, and it’s clearly a bit of FOMO. As someone who tries to save both time and money, I dedicate most of my reading list to books that have been published for at least 20 years or are by authors who’ve won major awards (like the Nobel or Pulitzer). However, I’m also aware that many new authors out there may produce amazing works, and I don’t want to wait until I’m old and gray to read them.

What’s your personal experience? How do you figure out if a book has real value or is just overhyped—of course, aside from actually reading it?
