I’m coming to Reddit because I have very picky needs and am desperate at this point. In general, I’m looking for a slow burn, enemies to lovers but if you know of books that meet some additional wants below, I would love u forever.
1 – I don’t care what genre of romance it is, as long as it’s REALISTIC!! I’ve read books where the main character makes decisions that nobody in their right mind would make, they allow behaviors that are straight toxic without good reasons etc. I would love to see some rational characters y’all
2 – I would love to have just one POV. (Preferably written in third person but not required) Again, this is related to my desire for realism. In real life, you have no clue what another person is thinking unless they actually tell you, and I like for this to be the case in books.
3 – again, sticking with the theme of realism, I would love for the enemies part to really make sense. I would prefer if it’s not for a silly reason or something simple like “rival sports, office promotions,” etc. I want genuine hate for a good reason, even if the reason turns out to be miscommunication or whatever. I just want the motivation to be justified.
4 – would prefer to avoid marriage of convenience, dragon or fae romance.
And that’s it!
Again, I love all kinds of romance with all kinds of plots, I just want romance to be the main story with a strong, rational, thought provoking FMC. Spicy is great, but not needed.
Thanks again and appreciate the community.
