#not just in an aromantic way or a mlm wlw solidarity way btw. just. some m/f partners who love each other platonically would be just as cool

More "marriage of convenience" and "arranged marriage" AU's where the characters do end up falling in love, but platonically. Normalise platonic love.

Book Club? Book club.

I have recently read and fallen in love with Kenna Jenkins' "Burn the House Down" and I need others to read it too because I am going FERAL bc I have no one to talk to abt this book—please some of y'all take me out of my misery and enjoy this with me. It's got a little something for everyone, too! Some of the features:

The 1st woman President (in 1945) who ISN'T demonized for wanting power

Messy mother-daughter relationships for those with mommy issues

"Love as a religion" casual queer blasphemy all over the place

Folklore vibes

a racist sexist Senator gets called out and shouted at in middle of white house foyer

A well-done and thematically enhancing pro-choice subplot

THE WHITE HOUSE BURNS DOWN

Political Hozier vibes

Wlw/mlm solidarity AND wlw/mlm hostility (2 for the price of 1!)

The tragic arc of ambition destroying everything Janine holds dear for all y'all Succession gremlins

Alternate history that ISN'T about the nazis winning

Complex drag queen character who is more than just comic relief

Attention to fashion and queer history!

A satisfying redemption arc for my fellow angst-with-happy-ending simps

aromantic rep

Indie published!

Complicated, well-developed queer main cast

Both-ways bearded marriage btw secretly lesbian president and her gay congressman best friend

TWO GODDAMN BREATHTAKING PLOT TWISTS AT THE END
