With NO Romantic Subplot (36 books)

Listopia > With NO Romantic Subplot

The books here have to be modern published works (since there are plenty of classics that fit the criteria and it's not hard to find them), romance free or not centered on the romance that much.

Let's focus on friendships, partnerships, working relationships, family dynamics instead <3

Any genre is welcome - fantasy, historical, contemporary.
