If you were made into a book, what would your cover look like? What design choices would you make that fit your personality? Genres! Fonts! Design trends!

Sailor Proof by Annabeth Albert is $1.99! This is book one in the Shore Leave series and seems to have a lot of catnip. One of the heroes is in the military, there’s a fake relationship, and the best friend’s younger sibling trope.
