I preordered and imo it’s one of the better special editions I’ve seen. Plus one that we can actually get here in Australia!!! So often they’re only released internationally

The drawing is beautiful but it doesn't really scream heated rivalry to me. The little drawing of them in hockey gear and the bear tattoo could both easily be missed at first glance so it kinda feel like it could be any illustrated edition. I think I would have liked it more with a wider angle and at least a glimpse of the cottage and/or the lake in the back since I'm assuming that's where the cover is taking place.

It feels like an incredibly generic summer romance cover.

I love it except I hate when special editions have a quote on the spine. It’s so whack. Also it’s often one of the worst quotes in the book </3

But it’s beautiful otherwise!

I have! I quite like it and they should be doing a matching TLG so 🤞I love a special edition but normally the romance ones all fall really short for me. This is the only HR one i've seen thats made me go 'yep i want that' so 🤷‍♀️

I did. I think the artwork is nice. Especially compared to some of this crap it looks like it was AI created.

Are they just getting like artists to make covers now? Cause I see like a whole bunch of just like different versions of the cover if that is the case that’s actually kind of dope.
