"they're just fictional characters" yes but the emotional damage they cause is real

Overall, I really like this story, and I completely got tied up in the story, wondering what was going to happen next! There were a few twists, but the core of the relationship between Nevio and Aurora played out, for most of the book, in a pretty predictable manner, based on who they are and their families. How was it going to change? That was the part that kept turning page after page, and when it all finally fell into place, it was just so right <3

Set in the snowy, folkloric woods, this cottage-core atmospheric, sapphic romance is the perfect cozy fantasy for a younger YA audience. Thank you so much to @pagestreetya for sending me a copy of the book! I can't wait to dive in! A sapphic twist on the classic fairy tale Snow White and Rose Red, perfect for fans of Holly Black The western wood is where Ro's father built their garden, taught her to forage, and told her tales of the faeries who live there—how to summon them, how to protect herself, and warnings of what they are capable of. Now, her father is gone, the garden has withered, and their family is struggling. Her mother and sister want to move into town, but Ro doesn't want to give up the memories of her father and his stories—or the charming village girl who shares Ro's love of the trees. The forest isn't ready to let Ro go either.

One winter night, on her way home from foraging, Ro encounters a bear attacking a fox. She fights the bear to save the fox's life, only to see the bear turn into a boy after her sister shoots him with an arrow. When the boy wakes, he has no memory of who he is—all he knows is Ro's name and that he has to kill the fox. Ro never believed in the faeries from her father's stories, but she can't deny the magic surrounding her and that both the boy and the fox are victims of a faerie curse. She'll have to remember everything her father taught her in order to extract herself from this deadly game and keep her precious fox out of harm's way. #pagestreetya #callforthafox #sapphicromance #storygramtours

Christian: Hi, I'm Ronan Markov's emergency contact.

Nurse: Are you here to pick him up?

Christian: I'm here to remove myself as his emergency contact.

it's the way I'll never have someone who falls in love with me repeatedly and harder than the previous time like Aaron did with Juliette. It's the way I'll never have someone who's so obsessed with me that he wears my hair tie on his wrist for years like Christian did with Gianna. It's the way I'll never have someone who'd go to therapy just so that they can be a better person for me like Noah did with Maya. It's the way I'll never have someone who loves me despite all my flaws like Loren did with Lily.

I could write a dissertation on the effects of p*rn addiction in all these booktok girls and their recommendations - in fact I have, in a full ass 7 minute rant

wait so, will the lust mc be locked out of establishing a long term relationship with any of the ros, or will it just be a bit tougher to establish one?

It'll just be a bit harder. Not only to convince the ROs that the MC is serious this time, but also the MC has to work on overcoming their own vices first. And I'm not allowing that to happen until after the storyline has progressed enough to allow it to bite the MC in the ass first.

So, it'll be a work in progress. Definitely don't expect the Lust MC to be able to successfully settle down into a serious relationship in the first book.

Stella: I like murder mysteries
