I started reading SJM as a teenager and have dipped in and out ever since but I will stand by my opinion that the reason I keep coming back is that I think she does a very good job of writing relationships between characters (like Feyre's found family with the inner circle in ACOTAR) as well as dealing with mental illness. I don't care about the sex or whatever it is that people think makes the books 'trashy', Nesta's mental health journey in ACOSF meant a lot to me, I saw a lot of myself in her and I think it was written really well. Just like Bryce's grief in HOEAB was handled really well.
I loved this!! Funnily enough i’d LITERALLY been thinking about ACOTAR series the other day because i’d loved it when I read it as a teen, and then kinda presumed that they were terribly written due to the way people needed to talk down on them online. But they’re not terrible, they’re just books. And they mean a lot to people and people enjoy them, and that is so good in its own way!!!
The movie clip made me laugh, so I had to look it up. The name of the movie is "Liberal Arts".
the more you know!

This is a great newsletter. Very engrossing, I might be too much of an elder millennial for some of it, though.
