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!
greatly inspired by @beanchambers on tiktok
feel free to suggest books in the comments!






this list is not to be confused with mastication
self care romance books in all forms: mutual, solo, IRL, video call, phone, overhearing, walking in on, public space, etc etc.
if you hate the word โmasturbationโ, try: flicking the bean, jerking off, finger banging, rub one out, beat the meat, dj the vj, wanking, jerkin the gherkin, fapping; we can go on for days. whatever you call it, i just hope you reach climax โฐ๏ธ toys encouraged but a hand (or two or three or-) will do just fine.

three words we love to hear: โจspread your legsโจ
let's face it, you can barely do the split, but when he tells you to "spread your legs" for him, you spread them as wide as they can go like a good little s|u+. ๐โโ๏ธ






No third act breakup - in progressโจโค
This is a list of books that contain no third act breakup. This list is not finished and I plan on adding more books whenever I have the time! But please keep in mind that I have not personally read all these books but as far as I know they do not contain a third act breakup but please let me know if there are books that do not fit or if you have any suggestions! Have a wonderful day besties โค๐






My Hockey Side Quest
Until someone gives us a full-on sports romance quest, Iโm starting my own hockey romance league. ๐ Some of these books are heavy on the ice time, others barely drop the puckโbut Iโm a completionist. Gotta collect โem all (because who wouldnโt want the whole team)? ๐






quick off the mark
when they're having such a good time they finish before they even really start.
this list is for books where one of the main characters (usually him)... arrive unexpectedly without penetration - bonus points if pants are still on.

Friends-to-lovers starter pack <3
My absolute fav trope in the world!!! because nothing hits harder than the slow burn, the pining, the โweโve always been just friendsโ until suddenly one touch changes everything ๐ญ๐ Likeโฆ the history, the comfort, the way they already know each otherโs hearts, it just makes the romance 10x more swoony.
