We’re confessing ALL our bookish sins! 📚👀 From popular authors we somehow still haven’t read, to books we secretly love despite the questionable reputation, to series we *may or may not* have lied…
Do you want me to go first? So my first one is that we run a dark romance book club, but I think I've discovered that I love dark worlds and settings, but not actual dark romances.
Oh.
I think we need to unpack this.
[laughs]
Yeah, 'cause I mean-
What-
... bullying was never my thing either.
Oh.
Okay.
But I've read books with bullying, and I, like, kind of liked it when they turned into not bullying-
Yeah
... kind of thing.
But I'm realizing more and more, like, when you say Insatiable is dark, I'm like, something like that does not bother me.
Like, I'm fine with trauma.
Okay.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, that's it.
I like trauma.
I don't-
That's fine
... or rather, like, I don't mind trauma.
Most dark romance is about trauma.
That, that counts as-
But not between the couple themselves.
