I was 12 years old when Clueless came out. It was my gateway into the world of Jane Austen. It very rarely ranks as one of the top Jane Austen adaptations. I'm fine with that. If you love this Persuasion adaptation, don't fall for the gatekeeping bull. Welcome to the Fandom ❤️

Anyone who thinks romance novels have unrealistic plots should know that the first time I saw my husband he was carrying three guitars and I *whispered* to myself 'I'm going to marry that guy' and friends, I sure did. We've been together for 21 years.

He knew what she wanted. Why did she have to say it?
"Please." Nora whimpered. Shifting her hips toward his mouth.
"Don't beg." He kissed the juncture of her thigh. "Tell me exactly how you want it, and I'll give it to you."
Great, even fucking him was self affirming.

“If you wanted to listen to music, you could have.”
"I wanted to hear you.”
“Hear me run?”
“Hear your pace, your breathing. It helps me know if I’m going too fast or too slow.” He said. Nora couldn't help but think of how thoughtful a lover he would make

"No one is holding you here. You're free to leave" He cocked his head to the side and leaned against the post of his bed. She eyed the rumpled bed, then him.
“I don't want us to do anything like that again"
His eyes flicked to her mouth, “even pretty when you lie.”

I am your sassy, black friend in a Hallmark movie. I'm vaguely homosexual. Your love life is my entire personality. I will enter you into that interior design contest against your will. I offer reality checks in the key of "girlfriend" or "honey"
I'm a lawyer in a movie. I lie all the time + am generally insufferable. I'll hatch a complex legal strategy to get you out of your speeding ticket b/c I know all the laws. Everywhere. I'm frazzled, balding, + have permanent sweat stains in the pits of my off-white buttondowns

His touch was so soft--a whisper of butterflies flitting down her spine. His hands worked efficiently and silently, loosening every button until his knuckles grazed the dimples at the small of her back.
Just once. She told herself
Make a baby.
Get your money.
And go.

When her lips wrap around him, he holds his breath so long that she's afraid he'll fall out of his dentist chair.
When he finally exhales it's a delicious moan, jumbled with a quiet, desperate plea,
"suck it"

“No.”
“I’m fixing it!” She was on him like an elite defender,but she couldn't reach his power wrench. Her soft dewy skin was slick to the touch and radiating heat. If he kissed her now she would be salted caramel melting in his mouth.

Nora put her hands on either side of the sink.
"You'd better sparkle bitch" She threatened into the mirror.
She cracked open a practiced smile and stepped into the foyer. Through the dazzle of lights, Bear's was the first face she saw.
Damn, he was a Xanax with abs.

He felt the pillowy fullness of her lips on his neck, and raced back to the car to see if she had left a trace of her lipstick there. Lipstick on his neck, fingertips grazing his nipple- the soft push of her body against his. His fantasies were blending with reality.
