Hi I hope you're well, I just wanted to rant a little bit about the lack of logic in some humans. I was scrolling on Snapchat and I stumbled into the viral trend of ranking your books and in the comments section there was some comments that instigate a boycott of certain books because the author is supposedly problematic so I did some research and found some reddit post the books are about domestic violence and some people take offense because apparently it romanticize the abuse since the offender is not written as purely evil but has a tragic past so people assume it means the author is making excuse for the abuser when it's actually portraying the generational cycle of abuse with abuse kids that never escape the abuse or never understood the wrong in the abuse they live became abuser later they also criticize that the books are called romance since it's about abuse but they seem to forgot that domestic abuse means either child abuse or abuse between lover hence the romance label since the start of domestic/marital violence doesn't happen before the relationship is well established and it's often hard for the victims of domestic abuse to first realize and then admit they are being abused but even more to get away because you actually love them and believes it's just a bad pass or because they make you feel like you are the problem not them so all the people thinking that domestic abuse/violence is full of visible red flags from the start need to do more research about DV/MV. The fact that these kind of books are deemed problematic but the ones like Haunting/Hunting Adeline, un jeu si cruel and De Verre et de Cendre from the extrait I saw on YouTube that are actually romanticizing sexual/physical assault by labelling as mature/dark romance only get positive feedbacks by the majority of readers and is even promoted to teenager under 16 years old is disgusting and hypocritical.

            Exactly, Klaroline was never written as some deep, endgame love. They were just stepping stones in each other’s storyline, but the fandom turned it into something way bigger than it ever was.

@vixscribbles yeah Klaroline was never supposed to be serious it was always about being a step in each other's path, Caroline realizing what kind of love she actually wanted and Klaus realizing it's not that fun to always be the villain but the fans can't accept that and act like they were robbed of the greatest love story when it was never that deep since Steroline was already planned, the writters just didn't have idea yet to when they would make Steroline happen.

            I totally get where you’re coming from. The Maze Runner has that effect once you’re into the world, it makes you want to dive back into reading. And honestly, getting lost in Harry Potter fanfics is such a mood, it happens to all of us . Plus you’ve had a lot going on with your formation and everything, so it makes sense you didn’t get the chance yet. Taking the books with you for Christmas sounds perfect, you might finally get the time to enjoy them properly.
