I’ve recently enjoyed some romantic humor fiction like Yours Truly and Love, Theoretically but I am so tired of the forbidden rich love interest trope and books with rich characters in general. I don’t like fantasy. Thank you.
Sarah Title has a whole contemporary romance series about librarians, and she’s the first author that comes to mind for me when I start a rant about wanting romances where the characters have boring jobs. (Not that librarians are boring but her heroes also have normal jobs and aren’t billionaires or even like firemen or whatever)

Pretty much any Steinbeck.

Nick Spalding writes romcoms with pretty average people.
I would suggest Dumped Actually and Fat Chance.

Tomorrow Will Be Better and Maggie-Now, both by Betty Smith
Both books about marriage with characters down and out.

Are you looking for just romance?
