Hi guys! This week I want to talk about why toxic relationships are so romanticized in some of the most popular books, especially when it comes to YA fiction. Like last week's episode I start out by proposing this question, I give real examples, and I end it with a call-to-action, discussing how we can all do better. In this episode, I use the Twilight series, the 50 Shades of Grey series, After, and 365 Days as examples of works that portray toxic relationships. Feel free to check out this week's episode and stick around for the end where we end this week's episode on a positive note!

The article that I referenced about E.L. James beginning the series of 50 shades of grey:
