      ooo if you haven't read it, I love Kulti my Mariana Zapata. That's my favourite grumpyxsunshine ever. Soccer player x coach who f'd up his career. a bit of an age gap but she's ~27 and he's maybe 40? so 🤷‍♀ It's *hilarious* bc sometimes its also grumpyxgrumpy (which is my favourite 😈)

    i think the "everyone can see it, but them" trope is when everyone around the two leads can see they like each other but the leads don't see it.
    grumpy x sunshine and friends to lovers (plus if it's childhood friends) 😁 i eat those up every time
    i don't read romance but i do watch it so i have no book recs
    also where's the fate trope?!

    YES YES YES YES YES omg when i tell you i saw this and ran to my computer like GIRL i am SAT!!!! also the pink looks incredible queen~
    bully turned nice is in the bottom where it BELONGS thank you for your service 🙇🏻‍♀🙇🏻‍♀🙇🏻‍♀
    okay you're actually rigth about slowburn, i LOVE your ranking options for this because honestly a NEEDS to be done in a certain way is so real!!! like that's exactly what i mean about friends to lovers like you CANNOT just flip a switch after 10 years of being ONLY friends with NO attraction that is my irl nightmare scenario!!!
    on the topic of kidnapping (little preview for my rant haha), throne in the dark was kidnapping BUT instead of being enemies to lovers where they slowly fall for eachother, it was a naive girl who almost from minute one was begging the evil guy (who kidnapped and is planning on murdering her) to kiss her and just batting her eyelids at him because he is sexy. could NOT be me. (it was also giving damsel in distress [and instalove in a bad way] and it honestly IS just for the straights because you would never catch me eating that shit up EW)
    okay yes THAT is the love triangle i want, bi (or queer) fl or ml who is choosing between another guy and a girl like the MESS the DRAMA but also lowkey my dream i need a sexy lady and a hot man lusting after me 👉🏻👈🏻
    also yeah im pretty sure orphan is....man adopts a girl/teen and ends up falling in love with her...🤭 i cant rememebr the title but there was a period romance that WAS this plot and it is HIGHLY RATED im like SHE WAS A CHILD AND YOU RAISED HER *vomits* truly only for the straights
    okay yes you have taste (i mean we KNEW that but just to reiterate) i love love LOVE this ranking 🥰

      YOU KNOW WHATS UP!! Bully turned nice needs to have MILES of character growth in order for me to even consider it being okay 🤬 It is just so toxic and not in the good “I’m hooked” way
      Period 🙂‍↕️ If i sit through ALL that longing show me the reward or else 1 star, and that’s a threat 😂
      REAL!!! Nightmare fuel fr bc the immediate switch has me overthinking about every reaction. Like were wee ever actually friends or??
      Ewww LOL 😂😂 excited for your rant!! Can’t believe you DNF’d at 90% still 😂 Wild to me!! I guess I will seeeee. That does not sound like a fun messy time. It sounds like pain for the reader 😬
      Yesss!! I love that for you fr 💯 Let me write up the applications for you real quick. I want the mess and the DRAMA!! Points if the love interest lady is a little toxic 😂 (sorry i need the mess)
      OMG do you remember what book had the orphan trope? That is so weird to me. You are their parent that’s gr00ming!!!! The straights can keep that one

    It’s not a slow burn, it’s TORTURE 😂 literally cracked me up so hard. I couldn’t do Slewfoot because it was just too much negativity… I couldn’t stand it especially when written by a man but everyone loves it 😢 I have FOMO!
    I find that I enjoy friends to lovers! But like you said, I need there to be a huge gap in between them that they need to emotionally “travel” for it to be a meaningful ending when they finally couple up.
    What the hell is a drunk marriage???
    I could never do an illegal age gap. Nope nope nope. It’s so gross!
    Yes I love grumpy sunshine!!!!!!!!! 😣☀️ your mayor example 😂😂😂😂😂 I love it because it’s so sweet but also it’s wonderful seeing how it highlights that we often need to heal ourselves by connecting and being open with others 🥰🥰🥰 We don’t grow and evolve in isolation!
    Oooo yesssss a small town 😍 I feel like this video taught me that I love wholesome tropes! I’m a square I guess but it’s nice that I’m expanding outside of horror and have been enjoying the journey of lit fic, romance and cozy mystery!! 🍓🍓🍓🍓

    • @brooklinslibrary
      @brooklinslibrary  3 місяці тому

      Yesss and the statement was very correct bc all this for nothing?? Miss me with that 😂Understandable approach to Slewfoot though!! Esp since it was written by a man (cue the sound bit “why would a man be there?”)
      AGREED!! It would make me mad if the friendship one day immediately crosses into lover territory 🙄. I need the subtle I need the slow burn I need the. “I don’t want to ruin our friendship” and most importantly no cheating 😂😂
      Drunk marriage: Im thinking the couple is out drinking (maybe they aren’t a couple yet idk) go to an Elvis impersonator and he marries them 😂 It’s giving Vegas setting. I can’t imagine it happening anywhere else
      REAL!! 💯 Personally I like if the younger person is 21+
      YESSS ELIETE TROPE !!💙 You get it 🙏💖 I will read the “mayor scenario” over and over again it is very dear to me 😂 You are so right about how we don’t grow and evolve in isolation🥰 you are so wise fr 🦉

    ALWAYS LOVE YOUR INTROS. I love your rankings too 😂 Am I also adding Publix Vegan CCC onto the list of things I have to try when I visit the south/midwest? Yes, most definitely.
    One thing I will never understand are romance books with anything sibling/step related because... I would NEVER be able to see anyone my brother interacts with in a positive manner 💀 Personally, I think authors who write about those romances don't have siblings of their own because they would know... weird it is. That's just my take 😬 Preggies for me is not ittttt. I can't enjoy it if the romance is stemming from just the pregnancy 😭😭 Honestly, you going through this list make me realize I've read some WEIIIRIIRRRDDD fanfictions/books 🫠 Orphannnn... with step-sibling. But at least they didn't get together??
    Grumpy/Sunshine & Enemies to Lovers on top 🔥🔥That's how I know you are the queen.
    Since you asked, I think that shade does wash you out! I think a deeper shade might fit your skin tone a bit better 🥰🍓🍓 Here me out... Enemies to Lovers, Grumpy/Sunshine & Fake Dating (with Drunk Marriage) rec: Best Enemies Forever by Olivia Hayle. Just droppin' this o ut there. Probably my most favoriiiiteee Enemies to Lovers (THAT'S TRULY ENEMIES) so far.

      YES YES YES AGREED!! It’s such a weird trope to me noooooo thank you please keep that thing away from me. Not cute. 😂 LOL the subtle brother drag 💀Ohhh see that makes sense that they likely don’t have their own siblings. I totally see it.
      Yaaa the pregnancy has to be VERY specific like happens at the end or she has the baby in the beginning and they raise the baby together. IDK what I want from that trope but it needs to be correct 😂(me @ myself rn: go on girl give us nothing) HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA That sounds like a WHOLE mess I kind of want to know what it was 😂. I love fanfiction. People really put the most heart wrenching life changing stories and the most freak nasty stories out there FOR FREE!!
      PERIOD!! You know it!💅 The best tropes to exist imo

    Oh, oh, for the priest trope, actually one of the most famous Bulgarian novels is Doomed Souls /Осъдени души/ by Dimitar Dimov. Not sure what is the exact English translation as the book is written is 1945. I know it’s a big no, no for you, but this particular story is one of the most tragic love stories ever written at least in the Bulgarian language.
