Every single one is hilarious and chaotic. The run-up to her daughter's engagement and marriage was like something out of Real Housewives. But this? THIS? The story of her new son-in-law's um...not arm?
Excerpt from Maria Kroll's letters from Liselotte on page 84. Fontainebleau 25 October 1698 My daughter's journey is progressing happily. I had a letter from her today which she wrote in Chalons. It will be a hard day for her today, because this is where she officially leaves the King's house and becomes a wife in earnest. She and her husband are to sleep together tonight. That will seem very peculiar to her. Although my daughter finds her Duke attractive, she says she is feeling very apprehensive at his coming to collect her; she says she's so beside herself with fear about the night that she is all of a tremble and hardly knows what she is saying. She may not be all that wrong, one hears such strange reports of our son-in-law. Apparently once, when he was taking a bath, the man who was washing him said, 'Would His Grace move his arm so that I can wash His Grace?' It turned out that it wasn't his arm that was in the way at all, but, by your leave, quite a different thing. I am incredibly impatient to hear how the first night passed.

The Kamala Harris book is so excruciating
“I wish I could have gotten the message across that there isn’t a distinction between “they/them” and “you.” The pronoun that matters is “we.”

SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE is warm, cozy, & out today. I hope you love it! 💗

The story: A cranky baker's erroneous obituary brings the woman who got away back into his life--& now he needs to convince her to stay.
The heat level: steamy!
The baked goods: plentiful!

www.harpercollins.com/products/sec...
The illustrated cover of SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE by Olivia Dade (subtitle: "A Harlot's Bay Novel") is a warm peachy pink, with golden light coming from an overhead light fixture. The picture is set in a bakery, with racks of golden-brown pastries and loaves of broad. In the foreground, a pretty fat woman with long brown hair is sitting on a table, with a handsome fat man with ruddy hair and a beard standing between her legs. She has a hand tugging on his apron, and he has a hand on her thigh. They are nearly kissing and gazing at one another with desire and adoration.

I’m rephrase this for you so it’s not placing the solution on women’s shoulders. “Maybe community is the solution” find friends you fucking losers.
