This is so beautifully put, and I had to share.
I find this show (and book) healing on so many levels. Then I came across this on Threads, and once again had tears in my eyes. It really plays in to the fact that to be loved is to be seen 😭
Are there any other moments where the two of them does something similar? Ilya stocking his fridge with ginger ale in ep.4 comes to my mind. It’s such a small gesture, but it’s beautiful.
The caption from Threads: “People say Shane don't recognize Ilya's struggle but he does and he have since the moment they met. “
Swooon.com did an interview with Rachel Reid at BookCon. Great interview btw.
I get that she doesn’t think they will write their own vows, but I’m kinda hoping Jacob does. Like the tunnel scene in ep.5.
How are you hoping to see the wedding adapted?

I just came across this promo from NHL on TNT, and about halfway through there’s two clips from HR. Ilya winking at the camera and Ilya board checking Shane (from ep.4 montage). The voice over of the clips talking about rivalries becoming heated.
Is it just me, or does this feel kinda weird?
It’s like NHL wants to profit of the phenom of HR, but not really giving credit to what an impact the show has had..
This event at BookCon looks so much fun! The ‘Pin the ginger ale on Shane’? So creative! Did any of you go?
So jealous from the other side of the world 😯
So no Connor Storrie IRL at BookCon, but he did send this voice note with a very thoughtful question.
BookCon has confirmed that the full panel chat will be on YouTube at one point, cannot wait to watch it in full. Until then there are many clips circling Threads (and probably other channels), I’ve been following along with https://www.threads.com/@francisdominiic who’s updating all the time right now.
That is perhaps one of the best descriptions of Heated Rivalry 😭 this cast is one of the most well spoken and thoughtful I have been following.
