…I object to “something more” here. There is a way to write romance well and in a way that honors all kind of love, and does NOT pin romance at the top of some imaginary love heirarchy, and this isn’t it. What do you MEAN something MORE? As if friendship enough isn’t sufficient? As if romantic love constitutes a force of MORE love rather than just a _different_ kind of love? NO!!!!

“‘And what if the girl you like just wants to be friends?’ ‘Then you use lunch to convince her that something more is better, Adeline says somber and serious.” Hey friends this is not an acceptable theme in contemporary romance novels. If the girl wants to be friends, we HONOR and RESPECT her DECISION. ALSO (continued in next note)…

THEY ARE BOTH LONELY AND ISOLATED BC OF LARGER SOCIETAL FAILURES. MAKING THEM GET TOGETHER IS A TRAGEDY ACTUALLY. I’LL DIE ON THIS HILL.

Romance as a cure for anxiety is…. A Choice. The thing these characters both want is Connection, and it’s maddening that the only way they can achieve this is via romance. They’d be better *friends*
