i find it genuinely annoying that despite bridgerton’s success, we’ve not seen a single historical romance book series be adapted since. give me kleypas! give me tessa dare! GIVE ME BEVERLY JENKINS!. like why are we allowed 500 shitty marvel shows while romance readers get CRUMBS.

"I was born in 1997". - boring.- means nothing. "I was born in the year of Titanic”. - arouses curiosity.- the ship or the movie?.- establishes one is too old for Leo.- provides a sinking feeling.

last night I finished this lovely lesbian YA romcom! while I did love it (and the concept of this cover), I gotta say that I’m disappointed by the art of the girls. :(((. the love interest in this book is fat. @ publishing, why did you erase that?
