"He is literally just a guy. Hit him with your car."

AKA, a selection of "book boyfriends" that actually suck. Featuring red flags ranging from an emotionally unavailable Irish lad to a man who locks up his wife in an attic.

romance books with reflective surface scenes where they watch themselves or each other 👀

Fiction reads that include Somnophillia or its lesser known cousin Parasomnia.

Parasomnia: disruptive behaviors or events that affect your sleep. You might walk, talk or make physical movements to act out a dream or sleep sexing.
