#i know that im super bad at communication always but#man!#miscommunication as a plot device is so frequently frustrating#and miscommunication as a character trait so it can be the underpinning of the central conflict?#but then not addressing that at all?#is not the way to go#this is better than the ''rapes his drunk ex'' book i read last year#in fact it was a fun read when i suspended my disbelief about how tiring it is to do hospitality work#but heavens did this book remind me why i used to be allergic to the romance genre#DDDDXXXX#i think part of it too is that in like a dark fantasy or w/e the romance doesnt have to be morally right#but in a romance it all has to be in accord with the reader's values#so it's a higher standard#and i disagree with the authors' views on what constitutes a good relationship#and i think!! talking to your partner about your doubts and fears and where their assumptions are wrong?#i think that's essential to a good relationship???#i think having boundaries and asserting them before you explode or implode?#could actually be part of your journey to being a better partner to them rather than just kinda assumed when you make up at the end#bottoming for the first time doesn't mean you're over your toxic masculinity if you still havent thought or talked abt your emotions???#beyond making a very woke and twitter-approved apology which doesn't! address! the bad communication!!#again i liked this book#it was fun and the trans rep was delightful#but ughhhh
