I think it should be fine if it isn’t a romance and the author makes a clear it isn’t a romantic story like a horror story or drama story or something but as a romance trope then it shouldn’t be there
I agree to some extent because sometimes when the happiness of one of the characters solely depends on the love interest it’s pretty problematic because so much weight is on the love interest and it turns from love into like a strong one-sided dependency.
@@bangtanswaterbottle7522 The "Shatter Me" series by Tahereh Mafi and "The Marked Mage Chronicles" by Victoria Evers are definitely my favorites of this trope!!
I love them to an extent because usually books with this trope usually involve a love interest that has some sort of disease or chronic illness which I enjoy but find a little bit strange to see in so many stories. When it involves someone a love interest that is like moving somewhere else I enjoy so much.
Literally true and if u want to read a best friends brother read beneath the stars (I have bot read it but want to )(I think this is series so it is so fun to read )
enemies/rivals to lovers, bodyguard romance and star crossed lovers (only when it's done right!) are legit my fav! I have a penchant for like "forbidden" stuff but NOT in a teacher/student or cheating way (gross those are just plain gross i will never forgive people for romantcizing cheating) but more of a dude hiding in an all girls school sort of thing or im ur bodyguard i cant love u sort of thing. Makes me heart flutter 🥰
unpopular opinion: i LOVE the unplanned pregnancy trope. idk if its my trauma manifesting (it probably is), but something about seeing a guy do the absolute bare minimum and step up to be a father (and eventually husband) just hits the spot for me yk? its fucked up but i love it.
no i actually enjoy them cuz the “bad boy” of the story with trauma and “no care about the world but their s/o” finds smth more to be responsible of and enjoy really changes their character development
I love the “smart-serious character who hates cocky-mischievous/sarcastic character but after some time they realise they have grown into them” kind of trope (for example Rollan and Meilin. They are a mix of bad boy/good girl, rivals to lover, and poor boy/rich girl which are my favourite tropes)
I fucking love books with the grumpy-sunshine kinda trope...like a girl being innocent, quirky, witty, kind, silly...I could recommend some like lilac, dalaric and octavias from wattpad
There’s a book on wattpad called “The Perfect Spiral” which is a childhood friends to dating to enemies (kinda) to lovers but it’s also brothers best friend
I was just mentally screaming for you to put bad boy/good girl & grumpy/sinshine in the highest rankings, and when you did I was like "YEEEEESSSSSS, LESSS GOOOOO" those tropes will never get old no matter how cliche they get
For good boy bad girl I would recommend 'As far as the starts by Virginia macerator' its such a gate and emotional book, the girl isn't really that bad she is just a bit defensive and tough headed, but the lead male character is such a sweetheart
My recommendation for a book with good boy/bad girl trope is ,,Feel again" by Mona Kasten. I would say that this one and ,,Archer's voice" are the books to which I returned most often
I need a single parent book rec. Preferably one where the guy is the single parent and he has a soft spot for the kid but hates or dislikes everyone else.
Im writing a good boy/ bad girl trope book right now im so excited!! I've been working really hard on it i made sure to add unexpected plot twists and to hint it in the subtlest way as possible. I really want it to be well written and unexpected but also cliche at the same time. Although its more like perfect nice guy/ screw up, cool, bad girl. She's the most hated person but that's just because nobody knows the reason why she do the things she does. Im writing many many advanced chapters before i publish it on wattpad so that i dont keep my reader waitng for updates. I make sure to spend as much time as i need to make every chapter perfect. I really hope it goes well.
i agree! i'd also love to read a book with a lovers > enemies > friends, like a more melancholial book. perhaps they could even start as friends and become lovers, but the more they find out about each other they more they find little things that they hate about each other but think they shouldn't hate, or the more they compete against each other until they become enemies. finally at the end they realise they could still love each other and maybe realise the bits of each other that they still love, but also realise they could never healthily love each other the same way as they thought they did before (but the feeling is mutual)
I’m so happy I found your channel, you’re about to help me extend my library so much!! I LOVE ME SOME ROMANCES and I’m obsessed with some the top trope choices ahh
yess i'm so excited i ran when i saw my notification..also i just started the addicted/calloway sisters series and omg it's so good i don't get why everyone hates on lily and lo i love them and ryke is chefs kiss
If I can recommend a love triangle book, it would be the Infernal Devices trilogy. It's so smart, heartbreaking and sweet. I love the boys, the heroine, the other characters and the time. It's just so perfect, everything fits.
i get so hyped when i see a new video from you omg. fake dating and childhood friends to lovers are definitely my top tiers. SO excited for the book recs for fake dating!!
bad girl (no matter the boy) is my favorite trope and im also always looking for books with it, one of my faves is misbehaving by abbi glines, it's the sixth book in the sea breeze series and the only one i loved, you could read it on its own but i think you would like some of the others in the series. it was a very popular series back in the day but im not sure i've heard you talk about it so if you haven't read i would recommend to at least check that one.
I think the reason why enemies-to-lovers works and bully romance doesn't is because one of the best things about enemies-to-lovers is the back and forth between the characters. In a bully romance, you have a love story between a bully and their victim, that imbalance in power dynamics doesn't work for me, no matter how redeemable the bully becomes. My personal favourite trope is enemies to friends to lovers, a true god-tier trope.
This - "i love pain and crying in books". I - ugh, i literally told my friend this yesterday, and they were like, ur a masochist, and kinda just looked at me funny, AHAHAHAHAH, ONLY BOOKWORMS WOULD UNDERSTAND SJJSKJSKJSJSS 🥺😩🥰
Yes! The whole "I bully and hurt you but I secretly like you so we I'll make out with you after publicly humiliating you " is just so overboard for me. I couldn't finish vicious by L J Shen becouse of that trope. About P. Douglas books, I always had the same problems with them and always wondered why people love her books that much. But then I read Birthday girl and oh was it good 🤎 If you didn't read that one I recommend it.Plus it has a well written age gap romance.
If you want a really good enemies to lovers (based off of your specifics) you should read The Cruel Prince (Folk of Air series). It’s so good!! The enemies to lover trope in it mixed in with all of the “I shouldn’t love them… but I do!” In both of the characters is AMAZING. It’s a fae book, I don’t know if you like fantasy fiction - but this series is amazing and definitely is a good fantasy fiction starter book
A good boy bad girl book I read recently was "the risk" which is the first book in the mindf*ck series! It's so good and each book in that series if amazing. Definitely recommend
I'd love to see your thoughts on the Brown Sisters trilogy by Talia Hibbert! All three of them are grumpy-sunshine romances with some other fun tropes mixed in (first and last have enemies to lovers, second is friends to lovers and fake dating). They are all so funny and will have you cackling! I also think you'd love Black Iris by Elliot Wake (Leah Raeder on Amazon). That one is superrrr dark and messed up!
full tilt by emma scott i would say is definitely in this trope, and a theres a wattpad story with this trope as well that i love and it’s called she’s bad news by Bright_as_night
I also love a good ‘brother’s best friend’ trope. Years back I found a duet that I still think is underrated by Michelle Lynn. Book 1 - Love Surfaced; Book 2 - Love Rekindled. (Also, The Bennett Mafia by Tijan has a strong heroine, and the men do not devalue the women. I’ve read it 2-3 times.)
Steph you should read "The happily ever after playlist" ! The guy is famous and he's a cinnamon roll for the girl and SHE DOESN'T KNOW HE'S FAMOUS WHILE FALLING FOR HIM! It reminded me of the old one direction fanfics but done perfectly. and there's an actual song for each chapter. Highly recommend.
honestly, thank you Steph for making me LOVEE the fake dating trope!! My unpopular opinion was that the fake dating trope would never really speak to me, and I kind of despised it...but when you recommended reading the kiss quotient, and OMG THE SPANISH LOVE DECEPTION (now my fav book), my mind changed for good and now its my fav trope of all time!! LOVE U😘
Hi Steph! Love this video so much. Also, I saw someone gifted you a copy of “Boy Who Sneaks in my Bedroom Window” in one of your previous vlogs. It’s a childhood friends to lovers trope. Hope you’ll have a review of it soon. It’s one of my all time fave books.
I love the combination of: Single Parent Workplace romance Enemies to lovers I think they really compliment each other as tropes because, the reason they are enemies is because of the workplace but then one of them has to bring their kid to work. When this happens the parent interacts with the kid which humanizes them to the other person. Something comes up and the parent has to leave the kid with the enemy for a bit and the kid really likes them because the enemy really likes kids.
Ooh my favs are: -forced proximity -only one bed -fake dating/marriage (marriage of convenience) -friends to lovers -grumpy/sunshine -slowburn -enemies to lovers -I hate everyone but you
grumpy meets sunshine is always the god-tier trope for me like i'd read so many books with that kind of theme and i'd never get tired (fake dating + bad boy/good girl come second!)
i have literally been stalking your channel, wondering when you're going to post (even tho it's been only a few days) and YOU"VE POSTED!! ILY I AM YOUR BIGGEST FAN LOL
I just KNOW that you will love the Bergman Brothers series by Chloe Leise. Especially the 2nd book on the series, "Always Only You". It has a workplace trope, grumpy (the girl) sunshine (the guy) trope, boy falls first first trope AND a sports romance trope. You HAVE to read it omgg. the whole series is incredible!!!
I see so much Princess diaries in this! Joe+Queen Clarissa for bodyguard romance, and Mia+Nicholas for enemies to lovers/ friends or flirting to enemies to lovers, and Mia+Michael for brother’s best friend (but in this case best friend’s brother)
Hey Steph! There’s this series called the Bergman Brothers by Chloe Liese. The second book in the series is called “Always Only You” and it fits the grumpy/sunshine and sports romance trope. You should definitely read it!
I had been interested in trying out romance and I was enjoying watching your videos so much that I finally did! Finished It Ends With Us a few days ago and I'm planning on reading Archer's Voice next. Thank you for the recommendations and your videos in general, they're super relaxing :)
Mariana Zapata’s slow burn is my god tier, but I struggle to find more books like hers. 😂 I seriously devoured all those books in one week and it left me with a major boom hangover. Overall, I think my trope tastes are similar to yours, with an exception to ‘perfect love not enough time’, my life is already sad and painful 😂I don’t need more, I prefer happy endings

thats literally me- my fav books are all pain and sad with prob sad ending or so
fake dating will forever be legendary
and that is on periodt.
For sureee
I thought fake-dating was one of those cliches I left on Wattpad but nope, I still fall for it every time. I'm just a sucker for this trope 😭
It’s SUPERIOR 🤌🏻💋
@@bunnywavyxx9524 oh tell me about it, my adoration for "Boyfriend Material" reached the heavens when I read it.
ugh y'all imagine having a friend like steph-- obsessing over books together, late night coffee runs, barnes and noble dates 😫

Teacher/student trope needs to be abolished, like I’m so serious. That’s one of the worst tropes out there
I agree bestie
Agree
I think it should be fine if it isn’t a romance and the author makes a clear it isn’t a romantic story like a horror story or drama story or something but as a romance trope then it shouldn’t be there
Cheating trope is worse
@@riverhills501 I AGREE SO MUCH YOU DONT EVEN KNOW. I would literally put a book down just because it had cheating
GRUMPY/SUNSHINE IS SO SUPERIOR🙌🏼
I agree to some extent because sometimes when the happiness of one of the characters solely depends on the love interest it’s pretty problematic because so much weight is on the love interest and it turns from love into like a strong one-sided dependency.
Especially clingy, i-hate-everyone-but-her kinda grumpy kind
can you do recommendations based on your god tier tropes?? would love that!!
I agree!
yes!!
Yess please!!
I know one called The Unhoneymooners which is both fake dating and enemies to lovers. It’s really good!
@@avawerner8937 I’m very into that description THANKS
i love when the antagonist is in love with the girl, or when the guy is obsessed with the girl, i dont know why but it is just amazing.
Do you have any recs?

@@bangtanswaterbottle7522 i want some too😭
@@bangtanswaterbottle7522 The "Shatter Me" series by Tahereh Mafi and "The Marked Mage Chronicles" by Victoria Evers are definitely my favorites of this trope!!

I absolutely cannot do right person, not enough time. Books with that trope DESTROY me.

That’s literally one of my faves
@@amalia9285 they are so good don’t get me wrong, but they make me bawl my eyes out
someone recommend me a book on this tropeee
Steph you should do a “books that match Taylor Swift song lines”. I think it’d be a relatively unique and cute concept.
Omgg!! Yes please😩
she has one!!!
YES
im such a swift WOULD LOVE THAT
Are all readers Swifties? Because I am.
I was literally just thinking I miss Steph, I wonder when she’s gonna next upload and here you are🥰
Holy fuck, every time i think this thought I open youtube and I see she just posted a video
WHY IS NO ONE EVER TALKINg ABOUT BEST FRIEND’S BROTHER BUT ONLY BROTHER’S BEST FRIEND 🤧🤧😭 One of rare ones I can relate to
Whenever I see best friends brother all I can think of is the kissing booth 🤡🤡 I can’t take it seriously now because of that
I’m sorry but I just think of victorious when I hear best friends brother 💀😂
No one's saying anything about sister's best friend or best friend's sister either.
Literally true and if u want to read a best friends brother read beneath the stars (I have bot read it but want to )(I think this is series so it is so fun to read )
They are always so fun n bit heartbreaking... absolutely love this trope✨
“hopefully my brothers not watching this” LMFAOO
Steph is literally my bestie who doesn't know I exist😭
So true !
same

RIGHT
@@parinitajaaju yes it is so true
enemies/rivals to lovers, bodyguard romance and star crossed lovers (only when it's done right!) are legit my fav!

Makes me heart flutter 🥰
You should rank all of Colleen Hoover’s books like this!!
YES
YESSSSS
OMG PLZ
Yes!!
Agh I need to read more
Our taste in books are so similar that I just buy the books she recommends without questioning it 🏃🏼♀️
SAME LOL
same
Sameeeee
Same-
I love how she says ‘miscommunication trope’ so many times but she didn’t actually make it a trope to rate 😂
It doesn’t deserve to be ranked 😂
unpopular opinion: i LOVE the unplanned pregnancy trope. idk if its my trauma manifesting (it probably is), but something about seeing a guy do the absolute bare minimum and step up to be a father (and eventually husband) just hits the spot for me yk? its fucked up but i love it.
no but same like ;literally and a lot of people give me shit for me but then there are some days I avoid them
oops so do I. I get so invested when there's a pregnancy bc i dont always care about the main characters but i always care about the baby
Do you have recommendations for this trope!
no i actually enjoy them cuz the “bad boy” of the story with trauma and “no care about the world but their s/o” finds smth more to be responsible of and enjoy really changes their character development
@@amberfirexx9 i dont even care about the baby. i just like watching a hot bad boy become a respectful dilf

I love that she doesn’t only do book recommendations also I love her not related book videos she’s like a comfort person
omg yay I love tier raking vids but Steph doing one?? Iconic
I fucking love books with the grumpy-sunshine kinda trope...like a girl being innocent, quirky, witty, kind, silly...I could recommend some like lilac, dalaric and octavias from wattpad
There’s a book on wattpad called “The Perfect Spiral” which is a childhood friends to dating to enemies (kinda) to lovers but it’s also brothers best friend
Name of the author plsss
Thanks!
Enemies to lovers. The best.
Hate to love. The best.
Even am writing a book on wattpad......on the same trope.
Ok I'm realizing why I love Steph's channel so much, she pretty much put all the tropes where I would've put them. This is why I trust her book recs💀
same with the student/teacher. it’s just not right for me i can’t get into it
It’s such a nasty and messed up trope.
it makes me side-eye the person who wrote it.
I hate love triangles. Omg someone always ends up hurt in the end.
A bully romance (also enemy to lovers) that i really loved was “the cruel prince”
I was just mentally screaming for you to put bad boy/good girl & grumpy/sinshine in the highest rankings, and when you did I was like "YEEEEESSSSSS, LESSS GOOOOO" those tropes will never get old no matter how cliche they get
You should do a tier ranking video of Taylor swift songs!
maybe albums? there are too many songs...
YES OMG! please
i can't explain how much i love the 'only one bed' trope, it's so corny and ridiculous lmao
For good boy bad girl I would recommend 'As far as the starts by Virginia macerator' its such a gate and emotional book, the girl isn't really that bad she is just a bit defensive and tough headed, but the lead male character is such a sweetheart
she’s serving looks and content😌✨
The prettiest girl I've ever seen.. i could listen to her talking about anything all day
The only teacher/student trope I actually liked was The Love Hypothesis
Agreed and it only works too cause they are both full-grown adults
Yes, because of it I'm not that against teacher student trope
it is not really student/teacher tho, since olive isn’t even in adams lab + they are both adults
My recommendation for a book with good boy/bad girl trope is ,,Feel again" by Mona Kasten. I would say that this one and ,,Archer's voice" are the books to which I returned most often
I need a single parent book rec. Preferably one where the guy is the single parent and he has a soft spot for the kid but hates or dislikes everyone else.

the infernal devices but not bad girl tho but it's reaally good
Yeah pls, I'd love that
dare you to - katie mcgarry
Archers Voice made me cry soooo much but its one of my favorite books.
considering all your god tiers, you NEED to watch this Turkish series called 'Knock on my door' you would completely adore it
Can you make a video going in depth of the Addicted/Calloway Sisters series, and like which order to read them in??
i literally shrieked out loud when i saw u posted
we need a right person, not enough time book recommendations video now!!
Beautiful Broken Rules and Fumbled Hearts for the bad girl vibes! Two of my all time favorites
Based on your list I totally recommend “My one and only” it’s so underrated and I’ve heard NOBODY talk about it.
I also love a good ‘brother’s best friend’ trope. Years back I found a duet that I still think is underrated by Michelle Lynn. Book 1 - Love Surfaced; Book 2 - Love Rekindled.
(Also, The Bennett Mafia by Tijan has a strong heroine, and the men do not devalue the women. I’ve read it 2-3 times.)
2 days ago I spent hours glued to goodreads looking for the fake relationship trope, now Steph is going to make a video about that, I feel blessed

13:52 - Feel Again, 2017 Mona Katen literally best good boy, bad girl trope
i used to think insta love meant the characters met on instagram like those cringe wattpad social media stories lmao
yk bad boy bad girl gets me too, when they end up competing to see who cares less and then end up together i loveee it
not a book but the love triangle in skins gen two is god tier. they handle it so well imo
your taste is literally god tier i have never seen a youtuber with the exact taste as mine im gonna go stalk your channel rn to get some good recs
Hi Steph! Love this video so much. Also, I saw someone gifted you a copy of “Boy Who Sneaks in my Bedroom Window” in one of your previous vlogs. It’s a childhood friends to lovers trope. Hope you’ll have a review of it soon. It’s one of my all time fave books.
I love the combination of:
Single Parent
Workplace romance
Enemies to lovers
I think they really compliment each other as tropes because, the reason they are enemies is because of the workplace but then one of them has to bring their kid to work. When this happens the parent interacts with the kid which humanizes them to the other person. Something comes up and the parent has to leave the kid with the enemy for a bit and the kid really likes them because the enemy really likes kids.
You NEED to do a good girl/bad boy I literally cannot find them anywhere so sm1 give me good recommendations plsssss
Ooh my favs are:
-forced proximity
-only one bed
-fake dating/marriage (marriage of convenience)
-friends to lovers
-grumpy/sunshine
-slowburn
-enemies to lovers
-I hate everyone but you
Bodyguard trope is good when done well
LOVED IT!!! I think you could change "eh" to "depends on execution" bc it would be more easy to rank some of these tropes like age gap
Saw the notification and clicked faster than the speed of light
grumpy meets sunshine is always the god-tier trope for me like i'd read so many books with that kind of theme and i'd never get tired (fake dating + bad boy/good girl come second!)
I think a bully romance is okay if it's been a while since they've last seen each other/interacted and the bullying wasn't too bad
‘Bar red’s redemption’ on Wattpad is a lot like that
It also has the sunshine/grumpy trope
i liked immediately after she placed enemies to lovers, childhood ot lovers up there, yasss
i have literally been stalking your channel, wondering when you're going to post (even tho it's been only a few days) and YOU"VE POSTED!! ILY I AM YOUR BIGGEST FAN LOL
We a need grumpy/sunshine book recommendations video!!
Obsessed with reading because of you🥺💞
I just KNOW that you will love the Bergman Brothers series by Chloe Leise. Especially the 2nd book on the series, "Always Only You". It has a workplace trope, grumpy (the girl) sunshine (the guy) trope, boy falls first first trope AND a sports romance trope. You HAVE to read it omgg. the whole series is incredible!!!
A good, non-patriarchal Mafia romance series: Holly Black's Curse Workers series (which starts with White Cat). Highly recommend.
Omg you're like so relatable I mean I can't disagree with a single one ITS SO RELATABLE🤌
Please tell me she read Six of Crows because I know she would love Kanej so much based off her tier ranking
I see so much Princess diaries in this! Joe+Queen Clarissa for bodyguard romance, and Mia+Nicholas for enemies to lovers/ friends or flirting to enemies to lovers, and Mia+Michael for brother’s best friend (but in this case best friend’s brother)
Hey Steph! There’s this series called the Bergman Brothers by Chloe Liese. The second book in the series is called “Always Only You” and it fits the grumpy/sunshine and sports romance trope. You should definitely read it!
OMGGG I LOVE THAT SERIES and I never hear anyone on booktube talk about it AHHHH
I'm reading that right now
I had been interested in trying out romance and I was enjoying watching your videos so much that I finally did! Finished It Ends With Us a few days ago and I'm planning on reading Archer's Voice next. Thank you for the recommendations and your videos in general, they're super relaxing :)
This is literally my comfort UA-cam channel.
I agree with pretty much all of these rankings, and my most adored trope is the childhood friends to lovers it's just so adorable ahhhhhh
Mariana Zapata’s slow burn is my god tier, but I struggle to find more books like hers. 😂 I seriously devoured all those books in one week and it left me with a major boom hangover. Overall, I think my trope tastes are similar to yours, with an exception to ‘perfect love not enough time’, my life is already sad and painful 😂I don’t need more, I prefer happy endings
Yesss!!! I think that Spanish Love Deception tried to do a slow burn but even though it was good, it was as good as Zapata’s!
I absolutely ADORE grumpy/sunshine tropes, if there was a tier above god tier it would be there
