    Co Ho must have a disastrous dating history based on what she writes!

    I agree you should be honest when it comes to books. Also No romance novel should be over 400 pages.

      Reading sapphic romance for the first time was eye opening

      Same. I had thought that I had fell out of love with reading, turns out I hate reading straight romances

    I cannot stand third act breakups! They often seem so pointless

      like you always know they're going to get back together so what's the point????

    New theory! Are good straight romance novels actually written by bi/pan women?

    • @storieswithgeorgiamarie
      @storieswithgeorgiamarie  Před 6 měsíci +16

      Ohhh maybe I need to hunt down some straight romances by queer authors to test this theory!

    some straight romance books are so weird... it's always kinda toxic, sexist and/or abusive. And the spice scenes are also super uncomfortable, very dominant and kinda brutal. I thought im Bi for a long time, even dated men and still could not read straight romance

    I am also reading Icebreaker, going in fully knowing the plot was going to mid at best and so far, it's really mid. BUT, it's so refreshing to have a silly frivolous romance book where the main male interest and his friends are not walking red flags, I can't wait to read the 3rd book about Henry!

    god lesbians moving fast is so true. my fiance and i were long distance and it was so awkward on the first date until i accidentally said i love you and we both laughed at it because we were so scared to say it. definitely say i love you when you feel it, it helps so much to get on the same page. also my fiance's name is Anastasia so i had whiplash hearing her name and pronounced correctly lol

    "This book doesn't mention showers anywhere near as often as I would've liked it to." 😂THAT's exactly the kind of thing I notice in books and it's why I so appreciate this channel. Also, Icebreakers's plot sounds curiously similar to a '90s movie called The Cutting Edge.

    • @storieswithgeorgiamarie
      @storieswithgeorgiamarie  Před 6 měsíci +3

      hahahah I just need ALL the plot holes explained otherwise I cannot focus on anything else

    • @adriagalvarez
      @adriagalvarez Před 5 měsíci +3

      I was thinking the same thing about Icebreakers and The Cutting Edge (the original 1992 movie). That was a great movie.

    I would love to know what you think of the fifty shades series!
    I'm a hetro woman who started reading it before the hype (sadly clueless to what it was at the time!) and I HATED the submissive nature of the female lead. How she was constantly dominated by this controlling man. I got quarter way through and called it a day 😂 yet everyone loved it! Maybe it got better I just never found out.
    I've not actually found someone else who it infuriated... Potentially you (or your comment section) will be my best shot ha!

      @Manabi05 Před 5 měsíci

      Omg i was also so bothered by that, but everybody seemed to loved the book, especially the man !

    I LOVE your book reviews and as a straight woman, your analysis of straight romance cracks me up!! :D It makes me feel normal though because I always wondered if other people were really like this and I'm just the weird one. Thanks for a great laugh!!!

    I've never read a CoHo book, but I've watched so many reviews and my favorite analysis is "Colleen's books would be great if she were a horror or thriller author, not a romance author"

    So glad I have found someone else that didn’t see the hype in book lovers. I swear I couldn’t remember anything about that book even as I was reading it. So boring and 1 dimensional. The only thing I can remember about this book was the bookshop in the small town.

    • @storieswithgeorgiamarie
      @storieswithgeorgiamarie  Před 6 měsíci +2

      SO DULL, I'm being told Beach Reads is better but honestly I think I'm done with Emily Henry for the moment

    • @jadeclifton8806
      @jadeclifton8806 Před 6 měsíci +1

      @@storieswithgeorgiamarie I must admit I have beach read but I don’t know if I can face it. B.K Borison is a better romance author. Emily Henry is over hyped. All tho since I read John Gwynnes shadow of the gods I’ve been on a really high fantasy binge.

    Icebreaker sounds like it was based off the plot of The Cutting Edge, a 1992 film. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cutting_Edge
