You might be tempted to argue with Rebekah and say that it was marketed as an action rom com, but you would be wrong. When I, a person who is very heavily invested in romcoms and essentially hoovered up all the gorgeous marketing of this movie, left her opening day screening….

Any time an article reads that the subject “couldn’t find a romance novel so they wrote it themselves” and it’s not so hyper specific that it’s down to the type of underwear the characters wear, then it’s a lazy shoddy PR piece that’s insulting to the writer’s peers.

One of the reasons that I wish everyone would stop referring to Romance as smut and porn. It’s not because I’m some pearl clutcher who doesn’t enjoy a well done sex scene. It’s because once y’all start collectively calling it porn, that’s the first step in banning it.

Barnes & Noble saved themselves by changing the format for which they allowed their stores to stock and used the pandemic to reorganize their assets.
