my biggest problems with books these days is that they are boring af like where’s the angst? where’s the pain? where’s the messiness? where’s the slowburn and build up? it doesn’t even have to be good I just want entertainment 😭

There’s just something about it like it’s the friendship becoming a betrayal in a way then hurting each other before finding a way back together for real
rk is so unserious for not giving remiariella a book because their scenes DEVOURED. She can start them off as obsessed girl x playboy and cause a split/drama. Then, remi pursues ari as it becomes obsessed boy x second chance😭
like how do you hate miscommunication trope in second chance or marriage in crisis books??? it gives such good angst and is part of the journey??? just say you’re boring and go !
flashbacks in second chance romances will always be loved by me. seeing how in love they were in the past and then reading the angst and pain in present just hits differently
remember when Will admitted that he learned French for Emmy? That he got haircuts so she’d notice? he bought new jeans so she’d see? And now we know he joined the basketball team to follow her around?? WILLEMMY WILL ALWAYS BE LOVED BY ME
the amnesia trope is gonna add pining and angst. marriage of convenience trope is gonna give us all the tiny moments, the “my wife” line.. ELIAVA IS TAKING IT
so much hate on ava over the last couple of years only for her to turn out to be the peoples princess. like I always knew my daughter would never disappoint 🩷
booktwt going to booktok and bringing out of context scenes of dark romances is my villain origin story. it’s fine if it’s not for you but stop being the moral paw patrol over what others are reading
smut this, rom com that blah blah. what happened to angsty books? no one wants to write gut wrenching painful books anymore? get ur ass to work @ authors
“The next book would be Dallas’s. If you’ve read TSV you’ve met his love interest. Callum might not deserve redemption in some readers’ eyes but I love trying”
dallascallum nation winning so bad rn
“Eden, Eden, Eden.
She has completely infiltrated every atom of me. I couldn’t get rid of her even if I carved all my skin from my body. If I extracted my brain from my skull, I think my heart’s last beats would be in the rhythm of her name”
EDENELI COME HOME
what happened to slowburn in books? the yearning, the build up, the tension? I wanna giggle when their hands brush like I need authors to bring back that feeling IMMEDIATELY
you know I love forbidden romance when it’s REAL forbidden love. Like the “this is sooo wrong” quotes while they are sneaking around and stealing kisses… and the jealousy???? unmatched buzz
You know what I can’t stop thinking about recently??? when characters first love doesn’t work out and they can’t move on but then they open up to someone new and they realize this new relationship is REAL love. I love second love trope soooooo bad 😭
the “mean girl” fmcs are just my faves like I need more books with them. most of them are just misunderstood but honestly I love myself a nasty fmc sooo badly ☹️
still thinking about will saved his family engagement ring for emmy for ten years…. like all through high school and even the years they spend apart THATS LOVE😭
