Recs if you like Can You Keep a Secret?...

This handpicked list brings back the heart-fluttering nostalgia of early-2000s rom-coms-think flirty banter, iconic soundtracks, and heroines with way too much emotional labor but perfect hair. Whether you're nursing a breakup, dodging one, or just craving a little lighthearted love, these movies will deliver serotonin, drama, and maybe even hope. You want that "why don't guys do grand gestures anymore?" energy? This list's got you.

To Whom It May Concern,

Are you ever stuck wishing your 9 to 5 was more exciting? Live vicariously through these stories without risk of getting a call from HR. It’s taboo and against the rules but it’s fiction, so enjoy all you want! Let’s set up a meeting with your next read and hopefully take it offline afterwards ❤️‍🔥

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards,

Your local spicy romance connoisseur💋

Books that were adapted into movies (not tv shows). Let's make this list as long as possible!

(going to only add the first book in a series)

our hearts beat in unison <3 p.s: this is not a personal list. these are recommendations i found myself. enjoy :)

Collecting books that would categorise as romance/romantasy/fantasy with prominent romance subplot that booksandlala has rated 4 stars or higher.

Feel free to suggest more books that would fit into this list, correct wrongly added books or suggest improvements to this list ☺️

Romance books by British authors, ideally set in the UK. Very much an early stage WIP! aiming for romance first romance novels. Please suggest more or lmk if there are any wrong ones here! purposely excluded; anything I personally hated or dnfed because I wouldn't do that to you

chick lit romantic books for palette cleansing after a heavy epic fantasy session
