no third act breakup!
do you hate unnecessary heartache from couples deciding against all reason to breakup just to get back together two pages later? you're in the right place! all these books are safe from the third act breakup trope, but that doesn't mean they don't have angst and conflict!

house neighbours: seeing them when you walk outside or catching a sneak peak through your window ๐
time to decide if youโre ready to give your spare key to the hottie next door ๐

can I get some hands? yes, please, chef ๐
do you have a crush on Alton Brown on Cutthroat Kitchen or Ayo Edebri on The Bear? maybe you just really love making food or eating a really good meal? do you make sure to lick your plate clean and finish your meal? then this is the list for you!
hopefully the chefs in these books make your mouth water ๐คค
to quote Hudson Williams: munch munch munch yum yum yum

Feel good romance books
Romance books which just make you feel good while reading them. They have a happy end and good vibes overall. Maybe you enjoy reading them during the summer or when you need a little something to take your mind of things. They don't have very dark topic, though they don't have to be without a little conflict to keep you entertained. Feel free to comment so I can add more recommendations!






love like hot cocoa in the rain
the perfect books for curling up in bed with your comfort food and reading the entire day
i hope that you absolutely CONQUER this list and have fun while doing soโบ๏ธ






Slow and Steady
Romance books with characters and a romance that feels mature. There is no or very low drama in the romance itself. It's often a slowburn, sometimes medium burn and feels very natural. The characters are either emotionally aware, possess a decent level of emotional intelligence, or are actively trying to communicate even if it's hard. Aside from the romance there is ample time for the characters to have growth on their own.
Keywords; Mature, slow/med burn, no drama, steady, emotional security.






nature names
Have you ever noticed how many books there are with characters named after things you can spot on a hike? Well, hereโs a list for you!
Books where at least one MC is named after something you can find on a hike (e.g. Wren, Dahlia, Wolf). Names in books are listed in the comments! Iโm excusing the random extra letters or alternate spellings for these lol
please add any suggestions!!!
