  • @ellab7193
    @ellab7193 2 роки тому +63

    If there's no tomorrow by Jennifer l. Armentrout (same author as the problem with forever) is incredible! It's like the definition of friends to lovers - definitely recommend!

    “We need to accept that we won’t always make the right decisions, that we’ll screw up royally sometimes - understanding that failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part of success.”some of us we see failing as failure. Have a delightful day sharing some positivity to your side

  • @LoudestWhispers
    @LoudestWhispers 2 роки тому +18

    Yesss thank you so much for these recs! I think it's so weird when people say that this trope lacks romantic/sexual tension. Like, have y'all ever seen two friends who clearly loved each other but were to shy to say it? The tension is so thick you could cut it with a knife lol

    after watching this video the other day I immediately bought “love and other words” and boy... this is the most amazing book 🤯 it was so good written that I couldn’t stop crying even on the happy scenes, because I could literally feel everything macy was feeling.. just speechless. :’) can’t wait for another recommendations from you Steph ❤️

    Also the Green Creek Series books 1 and 2 are childhood friends to lovers!! Super cute! There are 4 main books in this series and all of them have a main common fight/war going on in the background, while we are focusing on a different couple in each book!! Give the books a chance if you are a fan of T. J. Klune!! It is a must-read! Again the series is MM romances each story.

    Catching up your videos! I hardly see anyone talk about Bright Side, and it's possibly my all time favorite book, because it has made me think about life differently. Kate is my fictional role model. I think "do epic" and "you are brave" a lot. Also loved The Problem With Forever. I've had a lot of these others on my tbr for a while! I'd also highly recommend Swear on This Life by Renee Carlino (one of my absolute favorites, story within a story and friends to lovers who reunite years later) and Up in the Treehouse by K.K. Allen (friends to one-sided enemies to lovers)!

    @modellodime-7429 Місяць тому

    I like stories that are believable, I find myself deep into the relationship that it’s forming between the two characters If they have a solid ground to begin with, and that usually happens when the two starts as friends❤️
    Maybe other tropes like enemies to lovers are more “dreamy”, feels like something out of an ordinary relationship, and people are drown to things they are unfamiliar with, plus, at the same time, the build up tension create great steamy scenes.
