@imp i kinda get wanting a “mary bennet but more interesting” romance for all the bookish awkward girls who do not go around officiously quoting christian sermons at people but carolines whole bit is that she’s got tons of stuff going for her and is nonetheless kinda awful

@Satsuma honestly my issue with mary books specifically is that i think you could make it work but she is SO annoying on the page and that's part of why i would like to read about her being a protagonist! like, she has flaws, you don't need to erase those to give her love 😭 representation matters. let women be annoying. and yeah caroline is a monster and monsters can find love too....but she SUCKS
