Why writers should question their assumptions

Dear author of this regency romance:

In Europe, pink wasn't considered a "delicate, feminine" color in the early part of the 19th century. It wasn't even considered such in the early part of the 20th century.

Also, I am very tired of the "no one will love me because of my scars" trope. Just sayin'.

Also also, tired of the scarred hero being paired with a heroine named "Mercy."

bad prose
