I didn't mean that she can't write it - I just meant that perhaps she *shouldn't* since she *clearly* doesn't have the understanding necessary.<br /><br />I get what you mean - healthy and happy relationships can certainly be beneficial, but are not a cure. That trope gives the impression that mental health problems etc. are because you aren't in a relationship, and that's just totally over-simplifying.Cee Arr @ Dora Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04074909561530525221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-904551567804562350.post-75554585179202762482017-01-20T12:38:55.048+00:002017-01-20T12:38:55.048+00:00I'm not sure how much I agree with the fact th...I'm not sure how much I agree with the fact that the author being non-lesbian means she cannot write about that date? But then again, I haven't read the book myself, so I can't really pass judgment. But I don't think this is one for me. I'm not a fan of love curing everything either... it bothers me so much that many people see that as the answer.
