In my opinion, it is the worst time to be a fiction writer. Especially romance. Everything is heavily scrutinized and it seems people just hate the genre. It saddens me really.

FILM REVIEW: My Fault/Culpa Mía

★★★☆☆ - 3 stars

"I'd do it all with you Noah, you know that, but I won't do anything until the fear disappears from your eyes."

Based on the acclaimed Wattpad story by Mercedes Ron, My Fault (otherwise known as Culpa Mía) tells a Romeo and Juliet inspired tale of danger and love brewed together. Noah is a girl who is forced to leave her life behind and move into the mansion of her mother's new husband. It is here that she meets her stepbrother Nick, who she enters a complicated and forbidden romance with.

With all the staples of your conventional trashy Wattpad romance (including gangs, kidnapping and, of course, an enemies to lovers relationship), My Fault's plot was disastrously confusing, with around twenty different subplots that are difficult to keep track of. Additionally, the scripting was undeniably cringeworthy. Nick calls Noah "baby sis" and "freckles", and proclaims that he just "can't control himself" around her (i.e. he will physically lash out at any other man in Noah's vicinity). While these nicknames add a layer of second hand embarrassment to watching the main relationship within the film, when compared to the knowledge that Nick and Noah are step-siblings with a 5 year age gap, it is clear that dialogue is not the main issue in this film.

Despite this, the casting was perfect and the chemistry between leading stars Nicole Wallace and Gabriel Guevara was outstanding, creating a tense and passionate on-screen relationship between Nick and Noah. The cinematography, too, was great, enhancing the viewing experience significantly. This especially applies to shots relating to the racing elements of the film - an enjoyable subplot which provided dramatic action as a break from the main romance plot - and landscaping shots that showed the beauty of the Costa del Sol (where the film was shot).

Cupla Mía is is definitely one to watch if you're looking for an entertaining romantic drama. It's a film that viewers will likely enjoy or will at least find funny in all its telenovella-inspired glory, providing that you don't take it too seriously.

Supernova (2020)

For those of you who need context, this is the background to what I'm about to tell:

OKAY, SO MY WORK BESTIE AND I ARE ABSOLUTELY LIVING BECAUSE OUR GIRL IS LITERALLY THROWING KNIVES AT OUR GUY FOR TALKING ALL FLIRTY WITH SOME GIRL FROM THE OFFICES NEXT DOOR???????

We have 100% decided these two are our Jim and Pam, and we are fully rooting for their relationship. Like, about a week and a half ago, she was super messed up because she was arguing with her boyfriend, and my work bestie tried to get the details out of her but couldn’t. Which is a MASSIVE red flag because, for the love of God, girls ALWAYS talk shit about men unless the shit is bad enough that you know people are either going to judge you or your relationship for it. So we’ve been speculating that the guy might not be as great as she made him out to be.

BUT THE LOOKS SHE’S GIVING. I KNOW those looks because I HAVE GIVEN those looks. That’s the "this is my private property" look. I LOVE this drama. Thank you for everything.
