Recs if you like The Other Side of Disappearing...

These are romance books where both characters have fully formed frontal lobes, where they are competent in their endeavors and where they can have a god damn conversation when needed. I don't need this in every romance, but man, it hits the spot sometimes.

Romances with ticking clocks and clear time frames, about how this impacts conflict and makes books more breathless, and of course about the books that deploy this strategy perfectly. Inside, you'll find road trips and adventures, vacation romances and romantic suspense, house parties and that classic romance chestnut: "I have 30 days to get pregnant."

Books about complicated family dynamics

discussing heavy topics and mental illnesses!!(SA, Mental disorders, death, etc) If you have recommendations PLEASE comment them. I beg of you. (Also ignore the emojis I can't think of any) Make sure to check TWs.
