    When you mentioned spice in books that really resonated with me. I don’t mind if there’s a little that I can skip and not miss any depth of the relationship. That’s why I love Emily Henry so much. She has spice but the characters and relationships are so well developed that I can skim or skip through it and still feel a deep connection between the characters. I started reading Part of Your World this month after hearing so many good reviews but then I had to DNF because the first 40% felt too much like hookup culture to me that I just couldn’t stand it. More and more romance novels have sex being the main attraction between the love interests.

    • @aurora-cc6hk
      @aurora-cc6hk ปีที่แล้ว +17

      this is why I only read slow burn. I can't get into sex scenes and feel the emotion unless the characters build their relationship first. its much more satisfying to read the steamy scene with all the nice buildup

    It’s kinda nice to see a big influencer with an aversion to spice. Sometimes I feel so alone when I don’t enjoy popular spicy romances and so it’s refreshing to hear you talk about it. Especially how you mentioned that the connection shouldn’t rely solely on those scenes. Sometimes I feel like some mainstream romances are just mediocre plot to get to the sex scenes and those scenes don’t feel sentimental and intimate, they feel borderline creepy sometimes and often feel like they came out of left field. (Tessa Bailey and Ali Hazelwood I’m looking at you….)

      Seriously you’d be (or maybe not) surprised at how much people dislike that I dislike smut lol. People think it’s prudish, and I’m not a prude I just don’t enjoy watching or reading pornography 🤷🏻‍♀️. I loved Sarah j mass books but had to fast forward way too much on the last one. And if I ever buy the physical copies, I will take a sharpie and redact so I can enjoy them lol.

    He has also written some nonfiction essays.

    I also loooove Lynn painters writing too. I have the same thoughts with her adult books; I find her YA so much more captivating. I think it is because her MC in her adult are always a “hot mess express” rock bottom kind of woman, and her YA main characters are typically more put together and trying to be perfect, which I personally relate to more. But same, she’s def an autobuy author for me!!!

She writes historical fiction (but makes it really interesting) about people in the Bible.

I really recommend any of her books, and I think you would love them. 😊

    I felt the extact same way after reading Then She Was Gone. I really enjoyed the book and I thought the plot and the characters were good and well developed. But I could not shake this feeling of darkness after I read it. Like it felt like such a sinking feel even though the book ended with a somewhat happy ending or as happy of ending as it could have been. It just felt too sad afterwards. And like you said that makes sense because the topics are sad but I have never felt this way after reading any other thriller book like Then She Was Gone. I'm glad I'm not alone with this feeling.
