You're a good salesperson, Yolanda. I wouldn't watch Booktok with someone else's eyeballs but a good find is a good find. I'm not adverse to reading romance, some of my favourite films are rom-coms like 10 Things I Hate About You and Definitely Maybe, so I might give these a go.

Thanks Rogue! 😊 Let me know if you do! For me, she really nails that feel-good romcom sweet spot.

I love this new reading avenue for you! I’ve been a romance reader for a long time and I think there are some great authors (new and long established) on your horizon. Looking forward to seeing who else you enjoy reading These contemporary authors have some combination or element of humor, life complications, and also play with tropes and expectations. Kate Clayborn, Rosie Danan, Cara Bastone, Yulin Kuang (just pub’d debut), Jen Devon, Abby Jimenez, Olivia Dade, Sarah Adler, Jess K. Hardy, Lucy Parker, Hannah Grace,and Roni Loren.

Best bookshelves on booktube, just saying. Henry's books have awesome book covers. They have definitely caught my wife's eye every time we go to the bookstore.

The queue is super long for any of her books from my library. I put a hold on a few of them and I will let you know how it goes when I finally get one of them(somewhere between 3 weeks and 3 months 😂) I have never read anything like this before and I always want to try new genres. You have sold me on giving her writing a try.

Nice, let me know whenever you get to her! I think anyone who enjoys romcoms in movie form has a good chance of enjoying Emily Henry, and if her books don’t work for you I’d be confident to say the contemporary romance is probably not for you😂

As a dude who has just started trying romances (I’ve read two), I can recommend Delilah Greene Doesn’t Care as a close comp that might not have a wait at your library.

I realized why I didn't like People We Meet on Vacation / You and Me on Vacation. It doesn't have any secondary plot, let alone compelling one, to balance the romance, which was completely unbelievable. So the romance, or lack thereof, stood out even more. She gave you a great reason for Happy People! Haha. Read Persuasion by Jane Austen, please!

Yea, you’re so right! I think she progressively gets better at incorporating more subplots and fleshing out side characters, and the books get better for it. If I were to rank her main characters, Poppy would easily be at the bottom of that list😂 I will read Persuasion this year!

Only read Book Lovers, which I enjoyed very much. I think I’d want to try Beach Read. I think the trope that annoys me most is when the love interest separate for some CONTRIVED reason near the end, only to get back together… I’ve liked Helen Hoang (Kiss Quotient), Infamous by Jenny Holiday, & Abbi Jimenez’s Part of Your World. Oh have you tried Attachments by Rainbow Rowell? Definitely comfort reading 😊

YES I agree, it’s so annoying and completely kills my investment in the couple. I haven’t tried any of the ones you mentioned, I’ll put them on the list! I’d say if you liked Book Lovers you’ll enjoy Beach Read as well😊

Haha, Emily Henry and Colleen Hoover are at opposite ends of the spectrum. I usually read a couple romance books a month amidst all of the other genres I enjoy. The only romance author I’ve found who is close to Henry is Abby Jimenez. I would recommend her three most recent releases. She is also good at dialogue and does a great job of incorporating other elements of her character lives instead of solely focusing on the romance, and she doesn’t use too much miscommunication as the cause of conflict.

I have only read two romances: Delilah Greene Doesn’t Care and Book Lovers. I have enjoyed them both. Have you read Delilah Greene? If so, what are your thoughts? Slightly spoiler-y for both: It’s funny that in both of these the main miscommunication (misinterpreted motives) is between the main character and her sister, not so much with the love interest.
