Very cute, and the characters were well thought out and created, i dont often see female characters in romance books having anything but faults but this one avoided that!

Ignite by Melanie Harlow
Did not finish book. Stopped at 35%.

well first of all i absolutly hate when people make up words for random things people do, like emophilia means you fall in love often WHERE ARE YOU PULLING THIS OUT OF, and second she just got called childlike too often, like my brother in christ if she acts looks and talks like a child is this just an excuse to date a child legally. You can write good romcoms while still being feminist and portraying women as anything unfeminine it wont hurt you i promise. also it is a giant red flag in any book if the main characters have to verbally drill the tropes into your head for you to like a book, like im sorry if i open a fantasy book to see a character going "its almost like were enemies to lovers" i am burning it on the spot what happened to showing not telling (reasonable request) and not putting every aspect of the book spoiler non spoiler wise in the SUMMERY?? why are you giving away every plot point just so people will read your book i DONT HAVE TO NOW.
