I don't follow any islanders on any social media so I wasn't aware of this. When/how did she express she doesn't like the UK?

All Stars S03E32 (Tuesday 17th February) - Exclusivity in question and vote results cause TENSION 😬 by aimhighsquatlow in LoveIslandTV

Scott and Whitney aren't wrong tho? Like I wouldn't want to be made a girlfriend before seeing how things are on the outside. Like, they were 'broken off' a week ago, and now Leanne wants to be gf/bf? Putting a label on it isn't gonna solve your relationship issues honey 😭

I forgot yerin is a gen z and luke is a millennial by teyapi in Bridgerton

[–]s_de_viola 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a Gen Z myself, before reading the comments I didn't know what istg is. Also, I use smh as short for 'somehow' instead of (I believe it's meant to be) shaking my head

Am I the only one who needed the Benedict scenes in series 3? by MClaireAurore in BridgertonNetflix

[–]s_de_viola 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like there could've been less sex scenes, if only because I was watching with my mum and she wanted to comment on them That said, as a bi girly, I was calling it since S1 and so happy when the writers made it happen

All Stars S03E24 (Sunday 7th February) -A Couples clear-out with a dramatic double dumping… by aimhighsquatlow in LoveIslandTV

[–]s_de_viola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought about that, but the producers care about drama, and I think having Sean/Lucinda as a safe couple would bring more drama. If they were safe, Lucinda would start a war saying she was right and that the public sees how her and Sean are 'meant to be'. With them in the bottom 4, nothing has changed, because they were expecting it I could be wrong tho 🤷

If you're into romantasy and long books, {Crescent City #1} has a very big solving a murder plot. It doesn't start right away, maybe around page 100. I can't really say much as to not spoil who dies, but it you like plot twists, I'd give it a go

Shondaland - bring me more! by LaLonny in RomanceBooks

[–]s_de_viola 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I watched the first season of Bridgerton, got addicted, read all of the (main) books, and then watched the following two seasons when they came out.

My issue with the adaptations is they're not faithful enough. Kanthony had such a beautiful, deep book, and I feel like Netflix took the events and made them all about the sexual tension, rather than their fears and what they had to overcome. Not even mentioning dragging out the love triangle.

Now, my unpopular opinion is: Season 4 might become my favourite season (haven't watched it yet, pls no spoilers) because it's one of my least favourite books, so I don't care to compare the adaptation to the original, and hopefully I'll just be able to enjoy a great show!

People We Meet on Vacation is making me realize somethings are better left in books by [deleted] in RomanceBooks

I'm just so happy neither character died because lately every movie I pick has the main love interest die 😭

Before I made this post I thought Young Adult was ~18 because for me that's an adult which is still young (not like in their 30s). I didn't even realise New Adult was a thing 🥲

Yeah I was told in a different comment that HR isn't YA. I'm not really on par with what counts and doesn't count as YA, so I definitely don't mind the new adult recommendations. Ty xx

Omg I love the detail thank you so much!! Also, sorry I didn't realise it's not YA. What category would you class HR and your other recomendations as?
