Hi.
I am looking for a nice well written rom-com book suggestions.
I am getting out of a readings slump so I'd like something sweet and light.
What I am looking for
- nice, sweet, funny
- any trope works
- not heavy on angst
- I don't mind extremely cheesy and sweet
- little to no spice/smut (if has any, maybe the kind that I can easily skip without worrying on missing on chunk of story)
I've been in a reading slump for a while thanks to this Master's degree.
Anyways, I picked up love and other words last night to read. I wanted a nice little romance book to start reading again after the slump. And I had heard a lot of things about how good and romantic this book is blah blah, it's hyped everywhere, on bookstagram so I thought it's perfect for it.
I started reading and I liked how they show Elliot from the start, honest, expressive all things a girl wants. I was excited for the twist, so see what could have happened so bad to make these to people so in love separate and never speak for a decade, and how they would deal with it.
But I wasn't fucking expecting THAT. I can't even write all about it here bcus it's so fucking distressing and triggering. But I just haven't to rant. I hate this fucking book; how Elliot, his SA, his trauma was treated (well treated), how it was overlooked and brushed of. And how traumatic incident like his SA, and Macy's dad's death, we're treated like a fucking plot twists.
This book sucked, the so called plot twist sucked, the RAPE WAS POORLY HANDLED SO FUCKING POORLY.
And I don't fucking get why this book is so fucking hyped, or considered as one of the best romance books.
