I plan to read and give my hot take on Twilight at some point for The Romantic. I've NEVER READ IT! But, I'm pretty sure I'll be team Jacob when I do ... if not team nobody ... we'll see. 😂 I wonder what you'd think of my YA novel, SEE DOT SMILE. It's way steamier than your average YA. The protagonist, Dot, is very um ... self-sufficient😉 ... as she's waiting out her childhood BF for her first sexual experience. Meanwhile, she meets the best and most romantic guy on the planet. Only problem is ... sex is not in the cards for him. And yet ... somehow? ... they make it work. The tagline for the book is: "Happy Endings Aren't One-Size-Fits-All" and if you can't tell ... I'm pretty proud of it. 😊💕

Soooooo, yeah. I don't read YA. LOL I stopped once I hit high school, so that Twilight reference was about the movie (Taylor Lautner was so. Fucking. HAWT!! ZOMG). I just watch the movies: Hunger Games, Twilight, Harry Potter, the Divergent series, Shadow and Bone, Mortal Instruments... never read the books, only saw the movies (or watched the TV show). The exception was The Chronicles of Narnia. I read that whole series when I was younger and truly enjoyed the movies. Espesh when Ben Barnes played Prince Caspian. Lordty, that man is fine. And he can SING!!! Not in the movies, but I follow him on IG and he came out with an album and everything.
