my mlm romcom starring a trans boy who joins a secret boyfriend borrowing service and falls for their leader releases in stores today 🥲 it may be goofy, but it’s also very honest about how i felt when i was younger. i hope you like it. look for these editions in your country!

sorry, there’s already a queer story that uses a slightly similar premise, so we’re going to pass. anyways, have you seen that hallmark movie about a white business girl who goes home for christmas and falls for a local boy?

the fact that publishers don't regularly partner with their artists/authors to sell posters of their covers is such a hugely missed opportunity. like do you know how many posters i would've bought of my fave YA novels in high school and college? NOW AT 27?

does harpercollins really not understand that authors—future and present—are witnessing this, and now the last place they’ll feel confident publishing with is the one leaving their employees out in the cold for weeks after asking for the bare minimum?
