Recs if you like In the Likely Event...

The book girlies are seeing their favourite characters on screen this year so if you didn’t know or want to be ahead of the game and prep, this list is here. This list includes tv adaptations and movies so if you’re curious make sure to see if it’s streaming or theatre release. These have been announced to be in production but some don’t have a set date for release so don’t hate me if they don’t come out by 2027 😆

P.s. I’m including books whose adaptations already came out this year so far

bodyguards, knights & royal guards

My sister is in town and she's a highly discerning reader aka she won't read just any fluffy romcom. Her favorite romance shows are One Day and Normal People, so I've been searching my brain for women's fic that has a well-developed romance but this almost pessimistic vibe that something bad will happen. Are you catching my drift? Sweeping, gut punching, tortuous. Suggestions wanted!

It doesn't matter which niche of romance I'm reading... Nothing compares to the anguish of star-crossed love, doomed by fate and separated by circumstances... but these do come with the promise of happily eventually after.
