Finally. What's a girl gotta do - make constant mention of a trademark trench coat that may or may not be abnormally smelly?! Also, I 100% agree. Outside of YA - which really had better have a romantic theme minus the sweaty sex - if there's 30% passion, I'm gonna consider it thinly veiled romance. And get pissed off. Because I don't read romance. But then, I'd never buy a book with any of those covers, sorry. I don't get the empowerment of sexualizing one's self. Sounds like a clever deception that men are still snickering about having actually gotten away with. Yay, shout-out in post. Finally.
