End-of-Summer Fieldwork in Carley Fortune's Our Perfect Storm
Welcome to Smut Studies—the final required seminar of our summer syllabus. Class is officially in session for a breakdown of Carley Fortune’s Our Perfect Storm.
In this month’s lecture, we hit the field to unpack the friends-to-lovers trope and why fake honeymoons and forced proximity make for superior romance mechanics. Beyond the late-summer steam, we conduct a close reading on maintaining your sense of self amid life-altering shifts, alongside a look at modern motherhood, and personal autonomy.
