Fall For Us

by Samantha Bee

Too perfectly to be a coincidence. Which should be another red flag but maybe I’m colorblind because it’s feeling pretty green to me. My stalker cares enough to color match the gifts he leaves behind. It’s adorable.

Of course, it’s a fun fantasy. If I have to have a stalker I would prefer a hot one who spoils me rotten and only wants to take care of me, but a stalker is still a stalker.

Reading is a solitary hobby, something you do alone. But being able to talk about it with someone, to analyze and try to predict what is going to happen next, to debrief what we think of each character and their choices, it makes reading so much more fun. More immersive. Makes me feel closer to her too.

“Dark romance books have always been the place where I found those pieces of myself reflected in the pages. The pieces no one else wanted were highlighted and celebrated in those books. Loved.”
