We got tired of diverse romance being treated like a niche. So we built the database we always wanted — one where representation isn't a filter, it's the whole point.
[Placeholder — origin story copy goes here. How DBC started, the gap it fills in the market, the readers it's built for.]
[Placeholder — second paragraph about the mission: every identity, first class. Not a diversity shelf. Not a subcategory. The whole catalog is built around centering representation.]
[Placeholder — third paragraph about what makes DBC different: opinionated reviews, trope taxonomy, community-first approach.]

[Placeholder — Christine's bio. Her reading background, what she brings to DBC, her specialty, her identity and why this project matters to her personally.]
[Placeholder — expand on what "representation first" means in practice. How it shapes which books get reviewed, how they're tagged, how the catalog is organized.]
[Placeholder — we don't do both-sides. We have takes. Every review reflects a real perspective, not a neutral summary.]
[Placeholder — DBC is for readers, not algorithms. The catalog grows from what the community actually reads and recommends.]
The catalog is live. Browse by genre, trope, or vibe — or just tell us what you're in the mood for.
