    Want to read some light YAish romance novels with an emotionally unavailable female MC. Or atleast a female MC who is trying not to get into a relationship with someone she has feelings for. Basically a lot of inner emotional conflict. Don't want anything with rape/SA plotlines or anything too dramatic.

    Ideas: Chase x Cameron (HouseMD), Doom at Your Service (KDrama), House of Mirth (Edith Wharton), Jane Austen (ig)

    1. Great rec, but doubt it’s what you’re after: The Cybernetic Tea Shop by Meredith Katz. Super short book, delightful, asex girl-on-android romance. 1000% not my usual jam, but it’s just a gem more people should experience. Unavailable peeps finding an unexpected connection, opening up their broken selves.

      – Soulmates by Holly Bourne (it turns a bit fantasy-ish and dramatic by the end)
      – Whistleblower by Kate Merchant (themes of feminism, she tries not to fall for him because of a conflict)
      – The Bennet Women by Eden Appiah-Kubi (inspired by Pride and Prejudice, has diversity)
