funny funny haha, i actually do not read dark romance for this exact reason. i find the characters to either lack chemistry or lack depth, and i'm quite into realistic character portrayals. i'm not even a non-fiction or just romance kind of girl, honestly (prefer my romance in the form of film), but here are some fictionish books i've read recently:

100% Match by Patrick C. Harrison III

The fall by Camus

Opaquely A by Curtis Eggleston

A Potrait of the Artist As A Young Man by James Joyce

Paradise Logic by Sophie Kemp

Ilya: that's not true! I did! In the shower!

Shane: I introduced myself to you at world juniors!

Ilya: that wasn't a move! That was normal introduction!

Shane: Ilya, baby, when have you ever known me to initiate a social interaction with a stranger?

I've been thinking about this for a while and wanted to put together a tandem read chapter list for these two amazing books. I haven't actually done this yet but maybe when I finally get my hands on the physical copies of these books? (the new covers are great and i can't wait!!)

0. Halloween with Ilya (posted here on Rachel Reid's website, a short and sweet story taking place before the start of The Long Game)

1. TLG ch. 1-16 & first half of chapter 17 (ends at "At least this day wouldn't be total garbage.")

2. RM ch. 1 & 2

3. TLG the rest of chapter 17

4. RM ch. 3 & 4

5. TLG ch. 18

6. RM ch. 5 (here we have the first really overlaping scene described in both POVs) & ch. 6-7

7. TLG ch. 19 & 20 (This is also a good place to read the short story Countdown, available here. Too much stuff happens later on to fit this anywhere else.)

8. RM ch. 8 & 9

9. TLG first half of chapter 21 (ends at "Coach laughed and clapped him on the shoulder. "Yeah, but not in Ottawa."")

10. RM ch. 10 & 11

11. TLG rest of chapter 21

12. RM ch. 12

13. TLG ch. 22 & 23

14. RM first half of ch. 13 (ends at ""Yeah, I can't bring myself to care about that right now."" - We're getting into the plane part of the storyline, which is pretty crucial for both books, so this is gonna be a bit difficult, but stay with me. I figured the description of events in Role Model took precedence since it came out first and this is all the fans knew before The Long Game came out.)

15. TLG ch. 24

16. RM rest of ch. 13

17. TLG first part of chapter 25 (ends at "impossible wait" - That's not strictly chronological, but it felt like the best place to interrupt this Role Model bit.)

18. RM ch. 14-15 and first part of ch. 16 (ends at "Happiness, he supposed. "Me too."")

19. TLG rest of ch. 25

20. RM next part of chapter 16 (ends at ""I like those show-off goals of yours a lot more when we're on the same team."" - I know it's getting even more complicated! Stay with me! Hold my hand!)

21. TLG ch. 26

22. RM rest of ch. 16 (finally done!) & ch. 17-21

23. TLG ch. 27-28

24. RM ch. 22-23

25. TLG first part of ch. 29 (ends at ""And we will make sure to embarrass your old team that night."")

26. RM ch. 24

27. TLG rest of ch. 29

28. RM ch. 25 & 26

29. TLG ch. 30-39 + Epilogue

Wylan: You want to become my husband? The person who is statistically most likely to murder me?
