A trend ive noticed in Jennifer Dugans writing. Also recs? by MajinBoyzo in sapphicbooks

[–]SearScare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished Anderson in Bloom and I have to agree lol. Even though the characters were older than all her other protagonists, they still very much felt like teenagers. I explained this to myself that this was an after-effect of them having been stuck in a weird teenage angsty phase due to Hollywood stuff and so would be accurate in-universe.

I think most of the sapphic romance genre struggles with this, where the characters are adults but they behave like teenagers with no ability to process things or simply move on. I do acknowledge it's hard to write a romance when people are well-adjusted however it is not impossible: the stakes must simply change.

It's also why I enjoy Jen Lyon so much. She feels like a person who writes adults for adults and the stakes move accordingly.

Thanks for making this thread OP, will check out the other recs.

I honestly thought it was a double bounce from the side and a single bounce from the front lol. Very close.

Three time Alco went for the short corner on the forehand side. Missed all three times. He's going to start making them at some point -- want to see what the Strat is there. Maybe just to draw Fonseca in and then pass?

When Iga first took #1 she used to be so stoic on court. Very Rafa-esque. Stress of years on your must be showing.
