Let's Talk About Creepy Romance Books | GIRLFRIEND EXPLAINS

It's a piece of contemporary fiction inspired (in every sense) by Andrew Hozier-Byrne, AKA the "Too Sweet" guy.THAT'S WEIRD, RIGHT?!But she's not the only author to pull inspiration from a real person -- or to fan the flames of feral fan culture for the sake of upping book sales. Today, Lindsey and Connor talk about the ethics of writing so explicitly about other people, romantic fiction, questionable marketing tactics, and parasocial relationships.We'll see you next time :)☕️ WANT TO BUY US A COFFEE?→ a lil way to support the show: https://ko-fi.com/hiddenrabbits💡TOPIC SUGGESTIONS→ https://bit.ly/topicsuggestionbox
