So we all know we shouldn't judge a book by its cover. We know better. But we still get sucked in and deceived.
For example, on the cover is this buff, muscular body. Sexy as fuck. You'd do them. I'd do them. The bodies that grace many covers are of males real age about mid 20s to 40's.
And yet, the fucking story is bout some 15/16 yr old teenager. MOST teenage boys DO NOT look like that nor are they built that way. Or worse...the person is in their mid 20's or 30's and there is a pic of some baby faced teen.
The let down.
Oh, I swear...if I see one more Hemsworth/Somerhalder/Tatum/Evans/Hartley cover I might lose my shit. The whole wide world internet of images the same damn celebrities keep getting recycled. Damn. Forget Hollywood. Be creative. Try models or actors from countries outside your own. I love googling models from Asia, South America, and Africa. There are soooo many sexy people out there that break the blonde/blue(green), black/blue (green) stereotypical male/female lead character.
