Wedding cake decorated with a bouquet of white flowers. Two teddy bears stand on top of the cake, one wearing a groomsman suit and one wearing a white wedding dress. “A New Adult Contemporary Romance” as the heading. “Project Sugar and Spice” in cursive font. Beta reader comments sit on the left and right: “Man is petty, i’ll give him that!” “Get me into a bakery right this second!” *Screams in bisexual panic* “Lydia, marry me!” “THIS LINE! THIS LINE RIGHT HERE!” “Beautiful imagery! If only I had a kitchen like this!” “I’m tired of you making me hungry every single time I read another page!” “Coming to a bookstore near you!” sits at the bottom as a second heading
