Everywhere I go online I am hearing the same thing. “I want Heated Rivalry but make it …”

Sapphic, or baseball, or darker, or more, more, more.

My colleague Rachel Reid’s book and the tv show created from her books have blown up in a way that none of us in our little Carina Press discord could have predicted. We all knew it had a massive fan base among readers – because we are all readers and fans of the books too. I wrote about how it feels watching a colleague go viral for the coolest thing, to live the writer’s dream, here.
