Not Your Paradise ~ pt.1
Forget the fantasies of an island wedding with a purple and pink and orange sunset backdrop; unbook your flights. Learn about Hawaiʻi and its people instead.

Unnamed Antagonists and Villains
I noticed a trend in some of my recent reads, in which authors chose to leave the disappointing or downright abusive and criminal men unnamed. I started researching this and expanded it a bit. I haven't read them all, and some don't fit quite as cleanly as my original 3 - Hamnet, A Dowry of Blood, and Bright Young Women, so please let me know if you feel some don't fit well at all, or if you have additional suggestions!!
