Hey Sis! I have been reading a lot and arguing with some of my book baes about characters and authors. I’m getting upset waiting on sequels and wondering about authors who seem to have dropped off the face of the earth.
My BFF (who only reads Deepak Chopra 🙄) looks at me often like I am crazy. I keep telling her that I am not the only one that gets in my feelings when I’m reading my favorite genre…Black Romance.
I always argue that there are thousands of people who are just like me. Her response is always, “none of this is real.” So I created a test to see if I may need some help. Give yourself 10 points for every “yes” answer. Have fun!
