#omg they used an UNCONVENTIAL OBJECT to have SEX.

I'm just kind of sick of seeing those YouTube videos that talk about what's wrong with romance books and they focus on like. WEIRD KINKS and SHE had SEX with WHO and like.... you're kind of missing the point man.

Booktok romance books aren't bad because they feature kinks you don't like or age gap fantasies or taboo topics.

They're bad because they're badly written. Do some actual goddamn analysis on the FORM of the writing instead of being like.... I think an adult wanting to fuck their college professor is ickyyyy lmao let her fuck that old man its not real

"Oh but what about - " idc. They're in prison? Forced proximity and love as a redemptive force are common tropes in romance fiction that can be used effectively to write a compelling and *gasp* horny story. The book is bad because it is poorly written in that genre, because the characters are terrible, because the world's logic is inconsistent, NOT because it isn't for you. You picked up the gay prison book and then got shocked its about gay men in prison. Incorrect take.
