Real men don't have chapter breaks, devastating backstories, or the ability to communicate their feelings. Thanks for nothing, fiction.

You started reading romance for fun. Now you have standards that no human could possibly meet. The bar was on the floor, and a fictional man picked it up and raised it to the ceiling. This mug is for the romance reader who's been ruined for reality by men who don't exist and never will. It's not delusion — it's having taste.

Why this mug:

• Romance reader humor — for anyone who's compared a real date to a fictional love interest and been disappointed
• Relatable energy — the universal experience of reading romance and becoming impossible to impress
• Durable ceramic — because recovering from a fictional man takes a lot of coffee

Made from white ceramic with a comfortable C-handle and a shiny finish. Microwave and dishwasher safe. Because fictional men may be perfect, but this mug is real and it's not going to ghost you.
