All the morally grey man a reader can want. Make sure to read content warnings !!

If you have any recs to add pls lmk xx

Books where the story is brought to another level by the character work, be it in the complex character building or the multi layered character arc. The writer made the characters like facets, every angle and every relation gives them yet another aspect to further deepen the dynamic between characters. Every bit of past revealed shows us the way they became who they are now. Leaving us with characters arcs that feel like an entire story on their own, and often impacts the romance.

recs from a girl who loves books that simultaneously make her cry and heal her

List of books that @thebookbaron talks about and recommends on her YouTube channel.

Books that (if you have functioning tear ducts) leave you crying. Stories that feel hopeless and dark.

Warning; not all have a HEA (and there's one non-romance, My Dark Vanessa).
