The thing that gets me with what's going on with D2D's policy is that it's unclear if just having an account with no books yet will incur that fee. And the trouble with deleting one's account with that specific lack of clarity feels illegal.
So with Heated Rivalry we had two perfect (unknown) castings with an accurate (and even improved upon) adaptation on a shoestring budget. Fans literally spelled out why they loved it and blew it up. It's the biggest thing ever in romance adaptations and should be a blueprint going forward.
And it sounds like Amazon Prime was like how can we take that information and apply NONE OF IT to Beach Read.
