How did this get published?

The Fangirl

Trigger Warning: This book romanticizes self harm and suicide.

SPOILER WARNING!!!

Here's a basic summary of the book. Boy meets ghost girl and falls in love. He has to hurt himself to see/touch her. He eventually kills himself to be with her.

I can't believe this is being marketed as YA! I would ask if S&S have no standards or decency, but we already know they don't.

I made this post as a warning since there are no trigger warnings anywhere for the book or even on any of the reviews.

Now I need a shower.

Now, when white pop stars with flat butts jokingly position themselves next to twerking black dancers for comparison, it’s presumably at their own expense, drawing attention to their own lack of ass. But it’s a loaded image, and the fact that the white pop stars so constantly use black women’s bodies to make that joke is an issue.

Which brings me to the second risk of writing LGBT romance for a presumed straight heterosexual audience, you become much more likely to fetishize queer people. Because queer people in stories aimed at cishet people are often not reflective of queer experiences or exploring queerness, they become much more of an exotic subject for people to live out their fantasies through. They become objects usually only defined by their sexuality and physical attractiveness.
