if you like romance novels I wrote three virtual romance escape rooms for my library.

This escape room had been created by the Librarians of the White Oak Library District. One quick definition to help The Ton refers to High Society

This is why non-romance people need to read more romance, honestly: will-they-won’t-they is fine but it is not the same narrative as “they did and then they did again and then they keep going but eventually someone’s gonna find out and then they’re REALLY fucked.”

but this? shut the fuck up. guess what, my man, gorgeous young 22 year olds like to fuck. And queer people deserve love stories that are sexy and horny. a "chaste kiss" please be for real.
There’s a way of spacing out the storytelling here that could have pushed Heated Rivalry forward as a will-they-or-won’t-they relationship drama stretching at least through the first season, building up to perhaps a chaste kiss in the first season finale.

I don't even CARE if people don't know this was based off a romance. It's a TV show, really! source material fidelity is not something I care about.

The pitches selling BEST OFFER WINS as a thriller do a tremendous disservice to both thriller readers and people like me who don't care for thrillers because this is not a thriller. It's WEIRD and dark (& imm, darkly funny) and a sharp critique of being an elder millennial in today's world.
