![]() ![]() Movies from my own teen dome like 10 Things I Hate About You. Old school classics like Say Anything and Pretty in Pink. I watched a lot of old romantic comedies while I was writing this book. The entirety of the Paris/Rory relationship on Gilmore Girls is probably the most iconic. I'd grown up watching so many teen rom-coms and wondering why the girls didn't end up together. That is to say- over the top, bananas stories about love. I wanted girls who fall in love with girls to have what everyone else has. I wanted to write a classic romantic comedy- the cheesy, over the top kind that hits all of the traditional beats and tropes- with two girls who fall in love. ![]() Tell Me How You Really Feel began as my love letter to rom-coms. What was the inspiration behind Tell Me How You Really Feel? Between the tension-building swoon moments, the movie references, and the Los Angeles setting, we love it all! If you love rom-coms, and enemies to lovers and haven't stopped what you're doing to start reading Tell Me How You Really Feel, here's Aminah Mae Safi with her inspiration and favorite romance trope if you need more convincing.
