Covers have a purpose: they signal the genre within.

A cartoon cover of two people dressed casually for camping does not--and I *cannot* stress this enough--signal EROTICA to anyone.

Holy jumping WHAT THE HELL, #HarperCollinsUK, WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL--you are setting that book (and its author) up to fail.

@herhandsmyhands They need to put the peppers at the top and bigger, my eyes don't really register them. I guess peppers are less embarrassing to younger readers than clinch covers.
I don't like the feeling of hiding here.

@WhiskeyintheJar I didn't even notice the famous peppers until someone else pointed them out!

And YES, the idea that sexuality must be hidden in code to be palatable is offensive, period.
