some things regarding heated rivalry
i feel like my head is spinning because i read the books in the fall and really liked them. best books of all time? no way. tbh rachel reid is a very mid writer BUT hollanov's dynamic is interesting snd she does write dialogue really well imo. her issue is prose. but still! good romance books. average romance books. what makes them standout is no third act break up. which is So rare and lovely.
and then i was excited for the show!! like so excited! and then the show was so good! YAY!
but like.
i feel winded by just how much this has broken containment. it's ridiculous how much weirdness has come from this. especially hudson and connor being treated like babies, sex objects, your best friend, all at once. dude you dont know these men! what are you talking abt. and if u feel anything negative abt anything ur a hater. i'm allowed to get the ick that hudson keeps romanticizing smoking. i'm annoyed when ppl i know do it too. it's not that serious! but now all of this fucking weiedness is tainting the show for me. i hate this i wish everyone would shut up now lowkey
