Could Have Been Romantic
Camilla EvergreenMy rules are simple; allow me to list them for you.
Rule one: no matter how perfectly adorable Bianca Jane Taylor is,do notogle her. Rule two: no matter how hard I fall in love with her,neverlet her know. It Life isn’t fair, and it doesn’t make sense. When Bianca is invited to Florida for a family reunion, the idea ofmytiny, beloved boss leaving me for three weeks propels me into inviting myself along. It’s just a trip. Spending weeks living together while navigating her less-than-wonderful family isnotgoing to reveal my secret. I won’t let it. Because I know the facts. Loving her is selfish, and I have the list of reasons to prove it. Even so, I can’t stop. Could
should be simple, but if being a black autistic in a world built for
white neurotypicals proves anything, nothing is as simple as it should
be. Your tone of voice is neverquiteright. Your expressions are neverexactlywelcoming. And the girl you like happens to be asexual and aromantic.
Have Been Romantic is a laugh-out-loud, friends-to-lovers, closed-door
romcom with neurodivergent characters, forced proximity, and a unique
special interest in one another. Swoonfully sweet and heart-melting.
