      Hair crayons and cheap hair dyes do come out visibly with one wash.
      But we are talking about the ones that start to fade like 2-3 hours after application and will stain literally anything they touch.
      Washibility also depends on how much coats did you put on if you use spray, what is your natural hair colour and texture, what kind of shampoo you use and maybe even the water temperature. Also the brand.

    The use of "female" (along with everything else) leads me to believe that Liberty Adams is actually a conservative man. Like A LOT of the stuff does not feel like something a feeemale author would write, no matter how delusional. Edit: stuff like how the male hero feels more like a writer self insert, and how the protagonist apparently switches her hair color EVERY day, like even with wash-out color that would be soooo time consuming. How she goes back and begs the hero to date her, which is such a typical incel revenge fantasy

      The strawman of big scary communists is nothing if not versatile. There's a wide variety of people who are progressive and left of the American center (which would be seen as a near sociopathic kind of right-wing in most other countries) and if you paint them as with the same red brush you'll end up calling a bunch of milquetoast liberals communist for thinking gay people deserve rights and legal protection.

      It'll probably be a third-grade level of understanding to the tune of "socialism is when everyone is equal", with some more logical flaws and ideological inconsistencies added in to make the feminist character look dumb and allow her to be schooled by the Alpha Male MAGAman(TM), who will show her the way of all-American capitalism, but I want to know just how much the author'll manage to butcher the ideals of such a diverse yet clear-cut ideology.

    As an active member of the romance community who saw this going around on Twitter, I definitely agree it’s a solid candidate for Worst Romance Book, although she’s sadly not alone in what she’s pushing. Nazi and slave owner romances pop up regularly, and this isn’t even the first contemporary “across party lines” romance that heavily leaned toward the conservative side…there’s others from pretty reputable publishers who also drew controversy, so it’s definitely not unique to self pub. It’s rare to find political romance written well, because of issues like this, but I do like the Political Persuasions series by Emma Barry. They’re recently republished version of books from 2014-2015, and in a lot of ways, the outlook is reminiscent of those times. But the re-release also allowed her to address some issues that have changed in the intervening years, particularly regarding the third book, now called The One You Hate. It’s about a political staffers working for opposite political parties, and the woman is the Republican. She talks frankly and reasonably about her issues with the Democrats, but also develops further awareness of the ways in which she doesn’t fully fit with the Republicans, especially as a person of color. And Barry is pretty up-front in all her content notes about the story (at least the new version of it) culminating with the heroine leaving the Republican Party.

      Judging by the quality of the prose, and the incessant use of "female" in place of literally any other word for woman, I'm betting the author probably hasn't met any women before either. It just reeks of white male stereotypes of women, and reminds me an awful lot of stuff I've seen written by young white men ostensibly from a women's perspective. All that seemed to be missing was the lead "female" character pontificating upon her own physical attributes.

It's entirely fueled by ego and pride. The book reeks of the conservative fantasy I've seen before.
