I started reading A Novel Love Story by Ashley Poston last night, and this also fits the bill.
Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez: Age gap romance where heroine is newly split from a long term DV relationship. Funny Story by Emily Henry: Heroine dumped by her fiancĂŠ after his bucks night. An Unnatural Vice by KJ Charles: Nathaniel's partner died many years ago but he's still not over it.
I love this, thank you! Particularly the first "what to expect" as a way to get into it.
Like @snakeling.bsky.social I'd love to hear more about editing, specifically when you disagree with some/most/all of the copy edits. How do you decide what to let slide versus what to stet, and does that change with trad v self publishing?
Cover reveal! Four friends. A cursed country house. And a weekend away that has lasted a century. THOROUGHLY DISENCHANTED is a cosy fantasy, out in December and available for pre-order now (link in first comment).
You really, really do. â¤ď¸
Ha! For me it's Murderbot and Will Darling.
