what’s your take on romance?

I love romance but I don’t really love most romance books - books with romance as a subplot (especially a big subplot of romance lol) I really enjoy, because it’s not the typical and same storyline yk

yess i agree

i love romance bc i’m such a huge hopeless romantic. i’ll take anything and everything lol

If it’s a romance book without spice then I will eat it up

sunny that’s so real

REALLL smut is ruining booktok and the publishing industry

@sunny exactly what i’m saying

it must have minimal smut and either have a a good plot or be in a fantasy book.

mhm. i get a little spice but the full on is just 🤷

i just finished One True Loves and rlly enjoyed it

I frickin love romance! But not the romances with the shirtless men on the covers, BIG RED FLAG ON A BOOK FOR ME🚩, including anything that is a really photo. REALLY into YA romance, meet cutes, fake dating, enemies to loves, YOUNG people most of the time, you name it.

And yes minimal smut

I love romance
I used to read smut but I stopped bc I believe it’s wrong
I like fluffy romances or fantasies with romance subplots
I’ll read a romance book with minimal spice but I’ll skip it and no real people on the cover

literally any other genre with subplot romance > romance books

yeah its more interesting when there’s other stuff happening other than just romance

I LOVE ROM COMS! They are my comfort genre, my other half, and they are amazing! Minimal smut but ARGHGHHG. They are what got me into reading and keeping me in it. Non slow burns. Meet cute, boy next door neighbor, enemies to lovers. Ill eat it up.

slow burns r my fav. when they get together finally its just so satisfying. i find slow burns a lot more realistic too which i like
