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.

The vector illo style isn't helping this at all. If you told me this was NA hiking/college romance, with fade to black closed-door intimacy, I'd be more willing to believe it than if you handed this to me and said it's erotica. Oof.
