How many times have you read this sentence?

Dylan had blonde hair that hung just past his blue eyes.

Dylan ALWAYS has blonde or brown hair, blue or piercing green eyes, and a well-sculpted body. And so does everyone else!

Not only is Dylan unoriginal, he’s totally forgettable! When Noah is searching through a sea of young men for “Mr. Right,” we need some distinctions!

Try mixing it up a little. Maybe Dylan has a scar on his right cheek; not big enough to be ugly, but just enough to make him a badass. Maybe he has a tattoo of a humming bird on his left bicep. Maybe his stylist slipped with the scissors and his hair is a bit lopsided (which, of course, doesn’t take away from the speck of brown in his gorgeous green eyes!)
