This collection of romance books features characters with either physical or mental disabilities, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, and more.

Romance books to read for the aesthetic (usually cartoon covers because I’m trash for character art)

who doesn’t love a little romantic tension in their kitchen

these MCs have trauma they need to work through: parental neglect, absent father, loss of a parent, emotional / physical / psychological ab*se, divorce. this list may be books that you want to read or those that you want to avoid - whichever applies to you, its here nonetheless. bonus points if the MCs partner/s help them work through their trauma.

Palate Cleansers are easy, low-stakes romances that don’t ask too much of you emotionally or mentally and will not require a therapy session after you are done.

No complicated emotional devastation. Just good chemistry, a lovable love story, a manageable amount of conflict

Because sometimes, after consuming a five-course emotional meal, you don’t need another heavy dish. You need the literary equivalent of a little lemon sorbet. 🍋📖
