Welcome back to Raeology! If you thought the first BookTok recap was chaotic, buckle up. Today we are diving headfirst into dark romance&#39;s favorite &#34;Sweet Home Alabama&#34; trope where adopted siblings, eight-year prison sentences, and crime-scene hookups are somehow branded as romance. I read it so you never have to, and my reading habits may never recover. Grab your tea, check the trigger warnings, and let’s unpack this mess.
