I found “Assistant to the Villain” via TikTok…. Loved it. Have all 3 books and keeping my eye on the prize when the fourth one drops

cruel prince is definitely a good booktok book/series. booktok loves to market it as romance but its actually a political fantasy with a romance subplot.

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is my favorite book ever. It has gorgeous prose in it. It was recommended to me from BookTok. There are a few scenes of SA, but it isn’t detailed and absolutely not romanticized in any way. I recommend this book to literally everybody

i will say i definitely draw the line at books that romanticize rape and abuse and call it “dark romance”

I JUST READ I WHO HAVE NEVER KNOW MEN i actually really enjoyed it, meditation and philosophy made me kinda hyper realize in a sense how little inherent value anything has besides love (not in a relationship sense), and i who have never known men made me realize that without all these meaningless things that humans created life would be boring its a matter of finding a medium, in the sense she was bored with how things were there and how dreary life was at the end of the story.
