#yes there was drama

[esli-esli]

I just realized how fucked up most romances are. I've been reading this book, and the MCs got together at 40%ish, so I was like, "oh nooo shit's gonna go down, what terrible third act is coming, I just want the cuteness I don't want angst, aghhh." Ya know, the normal stuff.

But I read on anyway, and it just. it just ended up wrapping up the rest of the story? The one MC had no clue what he wanted to do when he finished college after a year, but he found that out? And all these other bits of stuff that normally goes unsaid at the end of most books?

How is this not the normal experience? Why am I so happy for a book to wrap up all parts of the characters, not just their relationship status? And why do I assume that anything past the MCs getting together is just needless angsty drama?

(It was Goal Lines & First Times by Eden Finley btw, book 3, but a standalone)
