Good morning, romance reader ♡

“My emotional support system is currently fictional.”

And frankly, they’re doing an excellent job.

There’s something wonderfully comforting about opening a book and finding your people waiting inside.

The heroine you’re rooting for like she’s your best friend.

The morally gray man whose questionable decisions you have somehow prepared a full legal defense for.

The found family you would happily join tomorrow.

The couple who has been making eye contact for 300 pages and has apparently decided your emotional stability is none of their concern.

They’re fictional, yes.

But the comfort? The joy? The ridiculous amount of happiness we get from spending a few chapters with them?

That part feels pretty real.

So if today requires a little emotional support, I fully endorse disappearing into a book and visiting the people who make your world feel a little brighter.

Romanceaholic considers this a perfectly legitimate coping strategy. ♡

Which fictional character is currently part of your emotional support system?
