I always do my best to adhere to historical accuracy, yo.

I'm sorry about your tires! Another unneeded pain in the ass, eh? But I'm curious about the het book you read. I bought three 'sweet romances' myself yesterday (one YA and two New Adult, which is a term I still need to look up). So far I loathed the first and am likely going to hate the second, though that's really because the blurb gave no indication of its premise whatsoever, and so far it's another version of The Island. (Which in turn apparently ripped off a 1979 movie called Parts: The Clonus Horror, so it's a rip-off of a rip-off.) Besides that, I've only read three het YA/NA novels so far, and the all-consuming nature of the love part of the story has already gotten old. So far, it doesn't seem to matter what else is going on; the only thing that the protagonists really care about is how losing their not-even boyfriends/girlfriends ruined their life. And apparently het YA romance writers have a thing for boys with green eyes. Which is LOL. At least they're not all called Gabriel or Jake. But now I think I need to buy a DSP YA novel to see if they're different.
But tl;dr: I want to find out your thoughts about the novel you read. :) If you could drop me an email/comment/im/tweet/whatever when you post it, I'd be much appreciative. :D
