The Rules of Love is a 90,000-word romance with childhood loves, a coming-out story, heartache and yearning, a sweet and clumsily supportive family, and a falcon named Oslo. Content warnings for off-screen mentions of suicide attempts, death in hospice care, controlling relationship dynamics, some homophobia and transphobia, open-door sex scenes, Scarlet just kind of doing her thing, and Oslo stealing bread.
Worth it just for Scarlet's over-the-top banter, and she (despite her insistence to the contrary) is not even a main character.
Bonus: Contains sapphic trans representation! albeit not from a main character.
