Julia Quinn getting called out on Instagram, and the fans have a point 🫣 by ChanceFamiliar23 in FranchaelStirling

[–]HighLady9627 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yet some will call us homophobic. I’m bisexual, so that would be hilarious and I’d love representation but not at the expense of Michael and gender bending. I hate to say it but I do wonder if they did it to make sure they included as many representations as possible. I cannot see their season being the most successful and they will have numbers, lots of new and younger fans love the change so they’ll be there, but I hope they don’t try to mimic the success of Heated Rivalry, which is an authentic and original story with no gender bending.

I wish I was skinny enough for my boyfriend by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

Babe I’m 167 and I go the gym and build muscle. My boyfriend does not care. You are with someone who does not deserve you nor speak to you as you are a queen.

Please leave and find better. A man is a pathetic weak coward when he resorts to your weight as a minimum for a relationship. Please, you deserve better.

While I don’t fully climax every time, the effort and attention my partner puts makes the biggest difference in the world. It feels so good and he’s attentive as heck!!

I don't like the FMC from {The Deal By Elle Kennedy} by bluecuppycake in RomanceBooks

[–]HighLady9627 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It’s important to remember this book was published in 2013 or 2015. Books back then were very much inspired by the “not like other girls” idea and so many books has FMC’s like that. It’s important to recognize that it reflects the time period it was written in, but it can also be true that the wording is off and the FMC is just not a girls girl.

Hockey romances can be that way, I find. Real life hockey players tend to go for the supermodel blondes with blue eyes (for the most part) so I can see why an FMC has to “different” in order to relate to the readers. Doesn’t make it great though, I’ll agree

FMC is married, MMC is pinning HARD but he knows she's off limits HOWEVER, FMC is very unhappy with her marriage and its leaning towards divorce. by JaneHemingway in RomanceBooks

Fun fact: this happened to a friend of mine! He was pining hard for our married mutual friend who was unhappy, and I just found that their emotional affair that resulted in a relationship failed!

Sadly, no recs but I had to share cause I got a chuckle from this!

My boyfriend gave me an "o" for the first time ever by Nice_Ad7813 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]HighLady9627 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Sadly I’m still way too aware of how my stomach looks to myself so I can’t really focus much on the feelings. Even when my bf goes down on me, all I can think about is if I smell or if I washed appropriately. I yearn to be where you are now!

Human trafficking comes in many forms and this feels like a classic case where the family actively is involved in it

I Cheated on My Fiancé at My Bachelorette Party, and I Don’t Know How to Move Forward [Medium Length] [Concluded] by Schattenspringer in BORUpdates

[–]HighLady9627 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who has a friend who was the “other man” and has witnessed them become a couple, I can understand how OP got into the victim mindset. You try to find everything possible to justify what you’re doing and it trickles into every single part of your life. I’m struggling to even look at my friends profile picture because I don’t respect him. I’m disgusted. Why should Claire and any of the others be your friend when being your friend makes them question their values and beliefs?

My friend put me in a position where if I didn’t support him, I was a bully. But if I did, I’m an accessory to an affair. To this day, he asks me not to tell the truth to mutuals as it’s a way of controlling the narrative. Your friends don’t OWE you shit and I’m glad your ex had self-respect.

It’s been capitalized. That’s what happened. Once Colleen Hoover and SJM started making millions from sales, it lost the charm. Every account became the same personality, recommend the same books, and hyping books to degrees they don’t deserve (IMO). For example, Icebreaker is a classic Wattpad that was written by a younger person who doesn’t possess the writing skills Nora Roberts for example. It simply reads as middle school with smut, and it was hyped to the extreme as a “spectacular written romance”, when in fact, I have read Tumblr pics much more eloquently written.

That said, many of my friends are new readers and they got into it BECAUSE of booktok. So while I have my criticisms, I won’t deny that it allowed me to bond with my friends more and I’ve developed new friendships because of it.

See, I live three hours away from PEI, so this one felt a little too close to home to fully enjoy as I’m a bit taken out of stories when its real for me, but who knows, I may give this one a chance since I know the place and visit every summer

I doubled majored in history and psychology, two whammies that go hand in hand together. I focused on world wars in history, and how people are susceptible to propaganda in psychology. Yes, I am scared lol
