😂😂😂....lotoni strikes again and once again, never misses!

I was literally talking about this with my sister😂.

So favourite trope, enemies to lovers. I love the tension, love the drama, love the hate.

Least favourite trope (in your list) Maybe mafia tropes or friends to lovers. Mafia, is tooo dark and brutal, also....why are we falling in love with someone with such a terrible personality and if we're going to think about it technically......the "richness"/"money" of a mafia person is blood money💀🥱

Alsooooooo, I'm here to fight for Conrad ooo.

Why is Jeremiah dragging babe with his OLDER brother ehnn???!!!😂😂😏😏😏

Also, yeahhh, I hate "unnecessary" love triangle trope. If the triangle makes sense, we love it. If its just there for drama and to prolong the length of the book or movie, please trash it.

Just like you, I have a great distaste for the romance genre and associated tropes. But I could give it a chance when well executed in an entertaining script.

As for the Mafia romance; especially the ones that revolve around Stockholm syndromes.....definitely a disease, because tell me WHY you will fall in love with your kidnapper/pain inflict(er)/Terrorist?!!!

And by the way, thanks for a fun read

Asia eh! What do you mean? Your first thought isn't to run or evil kill the bustard. It's to hump him till thy kingdom come? 🤦🏾‍♀️ My blood pressure just dey increase.

I actually like Mafia romance but if a see a real life walking red flag I go runnnnn oo 😂😂😂 we just pretend it's an action movie where the bad guy is the hero abi na anti hero and he is the one we are supposed to support 🥲

I also like arranged marriages/ marriage of convenience and small town romance (though not all sha)

I hate third-act break ups like after reading 245 pages of them falling in love and loving their best life and the book still has another 100 pages to go then brother Marcus will now break up with lily because of one mumu reason that will be sorted in ten pages and boom they are married in the epilogue like was it necessary or lilly would be kidnapped or Marcus will either get shot or have an accident and then we spend the next two chapters in the hospital 🤦🤦

Enemies to lovers is really overrated though because that’s literally what every author on earth is writing😭,and then they aren’t even actual enemies in the first place,maybe just rivals to lovers or annoying neighbor to lovers,but then once they don’t like each other(for a totally stupid reason oh),it’s labeled enemies to lovers 😭😭.

And for some reason people don’t like friends to lovers,get yourself a good friends to lovers novel,trust me,they’re are actually nice .

Like "enemies" should be something like he murdered your family, or he bullied you since you were a toddler😂. They'll say enemies to lovers but it's just Devi and Ben from Never Have I Ever.

I actually don't like friends to lovers too, cuz 'friends' is usually just one party that wanted more than friendship since they met and the other party did not want😂.

I love terminally ill and I've watched all the movies you mentioned. Am I okay?😂😭

You didn't mention The Fault in Our Stars which is the absolute best in this trope

Expand full comment

OK I stand to be corrected. Me Before You is the first followed by The Fault in our Stars. Anytime I watch Me Before You, I still feel all the emotions 😭😭 especially when Louisa begged Will not to die😭😭😭😭😭
