Dear readers,
It hurts to say this, but I think I’m going to unpublish PBF soon. This was a hard decision to make, but I feel that the way that I portrayed Maxon and America’s relationship was wrong. I was living in an abusive household when I wrote PBF and TNP as a kid, and I internalized much of that behavior as “normal” because I didn’t understand the reality of what was happening to me at the time. Now that I’ve grown older and separated from abusive family members, I see that relationship is incredibly toxic and absolutely not in the spirit of the original series.
I’m not sure if I will be able to revise this piece as it has been a long time since I read the series and I’m not familiar with many of the characters I wrote about anymore. But I don’t want to perpetuate these messages I don’t believe in as I know that The Selection has a younger audience. I will try my best to revise and republish, but I can’t make any promises at this time.
All that being said, I would really appreciate your input on this as my readers.
