Today on #HKHSPod: @joelipsett.bsky.social and @brennacgray.bsky.social find themselves in uncharted waters.
ROSALINE is most definitely NOT a based on When You Were Mine, but it *is* highly enjoyable.
Just don’t call it an adaptation (unless you mean R&J the play)

For my alternate history fan friends, this is really good fun. (If you’re coming to it from the TV show just be aware there’s 100% less sex.)
You’ve got the weekend to speed read MY LADY JANE, the revisionist tome about Jane Grey’s brief time on the throne of England

Since people seem to be (re)discovering Odessa A’zion, lemme recommend Netflix’s one season wonder GRAND ARMY.
Rough, funny, frustrating, and grounded, it’s a great YA series and A’zion is amazing as a <slight spoiler> survivor of SA.

1. When You Were Mine by Rebecca Serle. This is allegedly a modern retelling of Romeo and Juliet from Rosaline’s perspective and it sort of is and it sort of isn’t. It’s a fun read, but don’t look too closely at the seams. We’ll hash it out on @hkhspod.bsky.social.
