"I don't just fall for any boy who's nice to me" Let's be for real here Charlie Spring I KNOW YOUR LIFE I'VE LIVED IT.

Charlie does remind me of when I was his age. In fact, there are still moments in my life as an old decrepit man that I still have anxiety when outwardly straight people talk to me and are nice to me out of the blue.

I'm sorry, but it's hard to feel sorry for a white person from the South, especially after the results of the last election.

Thomas Harris was definitely influenced by the success of The Silence of the Lambs movie. There's a conscious display of the male officers eyeing Clarice now.

Why don't you know anything about the traditions of your kingdom when you're the daughter of the Emperor?

So basically what I am getting is this is partly the story of a domestic abuser and the woman who enables him.

Why censor the word damned?

That is a good conflict!

We're almost done and the final conflict still hasn't happened and I'm a little apprehensive.

That barebacking felt earned, in fairness

I appreciated that everything isn't magically fixed just because the leads reconnected.

okay now we're cooking with gas

Banter and wordplay is good!

Banter and wordplay is good!

Maybe it's because my last romance read by an American author was Celia Loren's Dirty South, but this already seems like a better written one with a more layered look at the parent-child relationship.

You can do better than this

Learn from this Tiffany

A part of me wishes this was spicier but also understands why it isn't

"as English as croquet and colonialism" BITCH

"That you believe yourself capable of guarding the front door as well as the back, at the same time." GIRL

The shady comments about bi people hahahaha

This is very Notting Hill which I don't mind I love Notting Hill

Okay this scathing depictiom of a crypto bro is good hahahaha

It's feeling like another coming out book

Oh a gay Swiftie. Ugh.

Granted I am not intimately familiar with Hollywood but are morality clauses still that strict post-COVID? Even pre-COVID Chris Evans' dick pic didn't lose him his career.

I like that at least one of the characters is a struggling gay and that we get to see a gay neighborhood being threatened by gentrification. Also the acknowledgement of COVID.

Good start so far!

A newspaper publishing novels? In the PH. Girl please

This is giving self-insert fic the way Dan Brown does with Robert Langdon
