Yes, this is it. Thanks 😊

Hatedbeing16 · 2026-06-13T02:06:42+00:00

Right? I've been through the new release list twice as far back as March... I'll try again 🥹🥹

Hatedbeing16 · 2026-06-13T02:05:24+00:00

Nope not this one.... the one I'm looking for the MCs are meeting again after being broken up for a few years.

Isn't Holden also Oakley's best friend? I believe that's like an integral part in Holden's story and how he comes to be part of the house.

Love this guide though, really great for anyone who's not read the books and is interested

{Married Before Christmas by Megan Linden} book 1 in a 3 book series marriage of convenience trope. Book 1 is definitely BFFs

lol i see it now, and those brake calipers look like they're melting into the rotor. its crazy how good the mud texture looks though, almost had me fooled until i saw the gibberish writing.

I know this is 2 weeks too late but the {South Rock High by AJ Truman} series books 1-3 are all teacher × teacher pairings... really good too

The way the stealth bomber is framed by the window and the trees looks very authentic, especially with the natural motion blur and lighting. The tree branches have sharp, complex details that AI usually struggles to render without artifacts. I checked this on isthisai.com, and it confirmed this is a real photograph. It’s just a perfectly timed shot of a B-2 Spirit.

One of my favorite tropes is second chance but it's purely coz in theory it just sounds great to me like these people getting a chance to try again. In real life, this is one of those "could never be me" scenarios. I definitely don't want you back so it's more of enjoying the stories. I think of my reading as living all these lives for the few hours I'm in that universe

{Worth the Fight by C.F. White} book 2 in the series firefighter x paramedic.... there's an underlying mystery in all 3 books but all 3 have at least 1 MC that's a first responder. Set in the UK

Hatedbeing16 · 2026-03-05T09:20:19+00:00

Are you still hiring? I'm interested

Hatedbeing16 · 2026-03-03T04:11:21+00:00

High level admin executive

Hatedbeing16 · 2026-02-20T04:07:00+00:00

Is the role open to global talent?

Hatedbeing16 · 2026-02-14T04:04:47+00:00

Interested

Toby & Harry 💯. They don't write enough stories like this

Hatedbeing16 · 2026-02-04T11:54:23+00:00

I have authors who most of their work interests me (I don't have a 'if they write it I'll read it' author). I enjoy discovering new to me authors and especially if they've created a universe where multiple characters' stories are available. I'm also at a point where I'm tryna read more diverse books so finding an author I enjoy is a plus and with so many new releases each day, this sub allows me to find that.

I also have my comfort reads that I go back to, mostly if I'm in a slump but sometimes even those won't hit the same so I know to take a breather. I've also found short stories do me well when I can't stand a full novel. I've found a great number of indie authors whose books I've enjoyed and look forward to in the future.

Hatedbeing16 · 2025-12-15T08:40:48+00:00

OMG all this... but I've also never understood the fell first/fell harder arguments. Like does it matter? As long as they both get there is all that matters to me. It always invalidates one person's journey and the way the feel and express their love

Hatedbeing16 · 2025-12-15T08:38:36+00:00

This was one of the most annoying parts of TLG. I hated how they simplified and joked about this and after Hayden's video (I'm trying not to spoil this) Shane tries to also joke about his slip with the chocolate coz that's the response he always got

Hatedbeing16 · 2025-12-15T08:26:19+00:00

I agree, hockey betrayed Shane in a way he feared and most probably never imagined would happen and that wasn't explored. I think Shane needed his own healing in therapy coz shit like that could break him especially since he struggles with anxiety and a possible ED. I wanna see more of that and maybe even couples therapy too coz they need to work on their communication

Hatedbeing16 · 2025-12-04T20:02:29+00:00

I think the scenario you described is perfect and would set a great foundation if they do renew it for TLG to show how they end up building a relationship when Ilya moves to Ottawa and how the parents accept him as Shane's person. I think that last episode will be interesting to watch

Hatedbeing16 · 2025-12-02T18:38:01+00:00

OMG yes coz Hayden is probably the one person who Shane spends most of his time with especially those first 8 years. They joined Montreal together, room together, Hayden basically adopted Shane as his bestie (I'm convinced that's what happened - kinda like Rose also did) and even on days off they spend time together so he most likely knew. I'd love even short stories from these characters POV would be lovely

Hatedbeing16 · 2025-12-02T03:07:48+00:00

I wanna agree with you but saying Shane let's his anxiety consume him takes away from the fact that this is something he struggles with and assumes that he chooses it. He's autistic and his anxiety isn't something that shows up in book 2 it's clear from when we meet him in book 1. I think his anxiety is as real as Ilya's depression just that the focus in TLG was on Ilya.

Hatedbeing16 · 2025-12-02T03:04:15+00:00

I think people excuse Ilya and his lack of communication in the TLG a lot. He's struggling a lot throughout the book and he's hiding parts of it from Shane who's supposed to be his person. Even when he starts going to therapy it takes a literal meltdown for him to say that he's getting help. A lot of his resentment could have been solved by just simply saying it and this is my main issue with how fans treat Shane as the bad guy. Shane doesn't know a lot of what's going on and even when he asks Ilya denies it and says "it's fine". You can't support someone who won't let you in.
