I have to admit, as someone who has been pretty good about understanding Shakespeare recently, I got basically nothing out of Act II Scene II (save for the end monologue from Hamlet discussing his plans for the actors in relation to his uncle). Nothing like a good chunk of an act to humble you, am I right?

I like the more mature feel of EmHen books and love Ali Hazelwood. However, I think Iāll become an award winning author before they ever release books with non-hwite leads.
I would LOVE rom com/ romantic drama book recommendations with diverse leads!
I read one recently I had to DNF because it was a white woman writing from the POV of a black woman and it wasā¦very apparent. Bonus points if itās not āthis is my familiaā, āthis is kimchiā cheesy type of writing!
