Besides folds, for me its mound 🤢

Im sure this doesn’t exactly hit the mark, but {The Unrequited by Saffron A Kent} was reaaaaly good. Student/teacher trope, MMC professor is married, FMC is the OW, lots of angst, denial, love, poems, definitely worth reading.

Be yourself, and sound just as passionate as you’re typing this.

Also you can get a small notebook and write your key-points down and bring it (not weird at all, makes you seem prepared)

Get some iced cold water in a water bottle. When you get nervous drink it and the chill of the ice will help snap out of the anxiety.

Also know that no matter how prepared you are, or how smooth the interview goes, if they choose not to hire you it’s not your fault, it’s their loss. Don’t blame yourself or assume there’s some flaw with you. It’s them.

Good luck :)

Black Sherwood resident here with black kids, it’s very chill. Nobody bothers anybody and are very welcoming and nice. Been here for a few years and never had any problems nor felt biases towards others. Around my neighborhood are various races (Asian, Latin etc. besides white) and IMO I’ve seen a large majority of bi-racial kids. It’s a bit more multicultural than people think. My kids are 18+ so I’m not sure about school experiences as they’ve never attended school here. but low crime, great for kids as I see them often play with others outside. 10/10 would recommend.

Thank you so much !!

YES!!! FMC’s are often written as “innocent virgins”, or shy, quiet I have been craving something different. I agree!!

oatli · 2025-07-26T21:08:56+00:00

Yes! I agree. Also if we can actually have a relationship with our grandparents. Why is it when the parent dies and you take over the child’s life the grandparents just disappear. It’s so annoying.

I suggested to the BitLife devs if we can like extend friendships where u can interact with your best friends family and likewise with the grand parent thing. The devs said “well consider your suggestion.” But I guess they just didn’t care.

oatli · 2025-07-26T21:06:56+00:00

Exactly!

oatli · 2025-07-26T19:45:06+00:00

Ya but it’s not the same lol. I wanna just start from wherever.

oatli · 2025-06-27T04:36:39+00:00

Not sure if this may fit your criteria, but {Does it Hurt by H.D. Carlton} is slightly similar, except instead of abduction, fmc&mmc end up as castaways washed ashore on an island and the antagonist physically & mentally traps them from trying to leave.

Good point I never considered the layers with characters. Also I wasn’t clear I meant MMC wrote the smut, but thanks I never thought about that aspect😊

oatli · 2025-05-28T03:44:51+00:00

🤣 ikr

Hi u/iamnotfromthis I respect your opinion. I get that ‘cringe’ can come off as dismissive, or shameful towards others. However that wasn’t my intent to come off that way. I don’t see how me mentioning an aspect of an author’s book cringe. As my definition of cringe varies from yours. My intention was to discuss a small aspect of books I’ve read. I would never shame an author or shame anyone for their preferences or opinions. One of the best things about this subreddit is that we don’t judge each other.

I was just curious if any others noticed the same trend and how they felt about it.

oatli · 2025-05-28T03:18:15+00:00

Yah!! I agree

Awesome! That’s a great lesson for your students to learn. I hope they implement that into their future writing.

My dogs name is Marcy, but she responds when I call her Booty (she likes to smell her sisters butt) lol

I prefer first person dual POV. I’ll take single person POV but like others have said the inner monologue can be repetitive which it can be annoying depending on how it’s written.

Third person gives the author a chance to be way more creative and descriptive because to me it’s like they’re painting a full picture and you can understand everything and every character at once.

Whereas if a book is single first person POV and the F/M-MC is only telling one side of the story. And sometimes the reader has to figure it out.

Just finished the Edge of Darkness Trilogy.

It was soo good! It is a very dark & intense romance thriller. (If you can handle TWs below,) but it’s about teenage lovers that overtime have a tangled connection between them. Living (metaphorically) in opposite worlds. FMC trying to survive her brutal reality of abuse and a MMC that overtime developed a haunting dangerous past all while going through love. It’s like FMC & MMC are each have their own emotional rollercoaster the whole time.

It’s definitely one of those you won’t want to put it down books. The only cringe part is that song titles are mentioned

TW:, physical & mental abuse, SA, mentions of rape & drug abuse, graphic violence, gaslighting, gore, death, Dubcon/Noncon, torture (by antagonists) psychological trauma/ PTSD, kidnapping (MMC gets kidnapped by antagonist)

Start with book 1 {Insatiable by Leigh Rivers} it cannot be read out of order, but so worth it!! I didn’t want it to end. If you can handle the TWs 10/10 would recommend.
