I completely understand Patrick and Katie fans being excited for their book. Fans of every other couple were excited to finally get their favorites’ story too, and there’s obviously nothing wrong with preferring one couple over another.
But am I the only one who finds it kind of rude and childish that under basically every video of people being excited for C10, there are always comments like “I couldn’t care less about Lizzie and Hugh, I just want F12/H7”?
You can be excited for your favorite couple’s book without putting down another book in the series. Especially when it’s a book CW is clearly putting a lot of time and effort into. Katie and Patrick are her characters too—they literally exist because of her—so I don’t really understand the need to constantly dismiss or insult a book she’s writing just because it isn’t about your favorites.
And honestly, even if Hughie and Lizzie aren’t your favorite couple, I don’t understand not wanting C10 at all. It’s clearly going to be so much more than just their romance. It’s a major book for the overall plot, it’s going to be important for Gibsie’s arc, and we’ll probably finally learn a lot more about Katie and Patrick too, considering how little we actually know about them so far.
And after everything that came out in R10, I genuinely can’t imagine not wanting to see Lizzie finally get some justice.
I don’t know, at this point a lot of these comments feel more like stan wars than genuine opinions about the books. You absolutely don’t have to love Hughie and Lizzie or expect C10 to be your favorite, but if you love this series, C10 is obviously going to be a pretty central and important part of the story. You can look forward to F12/H7 without acting like C10 is some pointless obstacle you have to get through first.

Hugh and Lizzie are by far my favorites, so I’m genuinely so happy their book is next. But am I the only one who finds it a little strange that Katie and Feely’s books are coming out last, when their story is so closely tied to Hugh and Lizzie’s?
By the time we get C10, we’ll already know how this whole love square ends. That means we’ll probably already know a huge part of Katie and Feely’s story before we’ve even gotten a book showing how they met or what their relationship was like before Katie got together with Hugh.
I just feel like having that context first would also make it much easier to understand Hugh and Katie’s relationship, the reasoning behind some of Patrick's actions, and the love square as a whole.
