Maybe the romance for Faces Under Water was meant to be creepy? I mean, fitting with the whole theme of the book, maybe Lee wasn't going for romantic but actually a clever deconstruction of romance tropes done creepily!
Oh! I suppose that's also possible. The main dude spends a lot of the last few chapters being really butthurt and brooding about BUT SHE DOESN'T EVEN REEEALLY LOVE ME, which was where I started getting confused, but... that's not really incompatible with deconstruction, either, is it? Well, then.
