Okay genuine question for those who like romance books, what’s your favorite trope (is trope the right word? Idk I’m not the smartest haha)? Like friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, etc. I’m curious. No judgment

Enemies to lovers but it HAS to be slow burn. If yall already wanna fuck each other on page 30 what’s the point. Like yall need to want to kill each other. Combine that with a little forced proximity and *chefs kiss*

Forced proximity is one of my favs, especially if it’s in an enemies to lovers situation or like arranged marriage.

Maybe it means they love forgiveness, giving people a second chance, and finding common ground

Why did someone downvote my response lol? I didn't mean anything wrong by it. I love the enemies to lovers trope too, like some of y'all take this way too seriously

I think it’s the way you worded it lmao it’s giving “damn wtf is wrong with you you like a toxic relationship”

Yeah, I get that. Poor wording on my part. I wasn’t saying people who like enemies-to-lovers like toxic relationships. I just think the tropes we’re drawn to usually say something about what resonates with us emotionally. That’s what I meant.
