Look at the end of the day, a story about such a heavy, horrific historical time period definitely needs to be written by someone who had a full understanding of this period and the nuances involved and that’s even without trying to place a romance like this one in there (which personally is an insane thing to do imo)
This author is clearly NOT someone who is suitable for that, and for what its worth, I’m glad they’ve realised that, I just really hope they try and think about why exactly they even thought it was appropriate to do so in the first place. In the 21st century, it is simply not acceptable and utterly disgusting to try and romanticise such a tragic part of American history, especially with the continued subjugation of POC rights in the current political climate. And authors need to do better, not write whatever slop comes to mind
