I love how the Epilogue for Lights Out by Navessa Allen (**spoiler warning**) wasn't like all the other romance book tok epilogue. I find they all end with this "We have 5 kids and we still have lots of sex because we want lots of kids" and for me that always kinda kills the story. I always find that seems a little too propaganda-ish. Like thats the only reason for a relationship is for kids. Allen has Josh and Alley talk about having kids but the epilouge really hammers home the idea that their perfect ending isn't this hertonormitive have kids image it's the fact that they are together, happy, they get eachothers quirks. Nothing wrong with wanting/having kids I just don't like feeling like that is the reason for these relationships.
