These two books have been linked as books 1 and 2 of a series, but they're not -- they're standalone titles. (They do exist in the same universe, however.) I've had a Goodreads Librarian fix this issue before, but now it's come back. Is it possible to stop this from happening?

Thank you!!! <3

Could something be added to series description that would "educate" readers that they are stand alone novels set in the same universe?

Perhaps she could write a "series" description and a librarian could add it?

Brigid (brigidkemmerer) | 4 comments Maybe I'll just add a line in the book description. It's just weird, because it's not a series, and they don't have to be read in order (or together at all). It's similar to Stephanie Perkins' books, starting with ANNA AND THE FRENCH KISS, but I see all of hers are listed as a series, too. Same with Simone Elkeles and the PERFECT CHEMISTRY books.
