Okay we are doing an #MSWL. So first up: comps. If you have the hilarity of WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS, the romance and squee of BRIDGERTON, or the hijinx of BOB'S BURGERS I want it.

I have a ton of TV I love but it I am trying to think what I want that vibes.

I want a romance that hits you in the feels. I love drama and tension (think Billy and Daisy in DAISY JONES AND THE SIX). #MSWL

A timely reminder before I log off to walk the dog that I have always wanted ace rep (please for an ace romance!!), and also healthy sex ed in books (would it be YA-4 if they discuss how to properly apply a condom and use a dental dam?). Also teens curse. #MSWL

Natascha Morris @SoCalledYALife

So now that you have some concepts, let's talk books I have loved that I am #MSWL for writing comps/voice combs/vibeness

If you are writing a YA contemporary romance, the vibe I seem to hit best is this for #MSWL *Some of my favorite books are not yet published, but if you have read @keliswrites then she is in this group too.
