Booktok 📚 discussion

I hate the age gap trope sm like why does it even exist??? go to jail you pedophile. also incest scare is absolutely horrible like PLEASE NO- OH AND SURPRISE PREGANCY IS SO SO TERRIBLE AND DOESNT MAKE ANY SENSE

I hate the “oh shoot we’re cousins” troupe. I mean like what are we gaining. That’s awful. Like being in love with you’re cousin <<<<

the miscommunication trope. i’ll be screaming to beg them to just discuss about it lmaoo

Miscommunication and like step dad/ brother/ uncle trope it just makes me feel icky- especially when they have grown up with them it’s not just like they met and didn’t realise like they are actually part of the family

Miscommunication or pregnancy

insta love, most of the times

CEO or billionaire tropes ://

I'm sorry what are these books you're talking about omg

age gap, miscommunication, and instalove

pregnancy…. it feels too cheesy

miscommunication trope 🙄🙄

Age gap, miscommunication 🙄

dead loved ones.... when one of the mc has dead ex i throw the book immediately :////

Enemies to lovers but there's no plot, like it's just “i hate them” “oh look they are super hot” “i’m so conflicted” “soooo I actually don’t hate them”. I like it when it's good, but so many of the books that have it have mediocre characters and zero plot

Instalove! I need the angst and gradual build of a relationship

miscommunication, siblings, age gap trope

miscommunication, age gap, pregnancy. in that order

step siblings/adopted siblings

PREGNANCY blah

I can’t stand the super over-protective older brother trope - there’s a fine line between looking out for your younger siblings and asserting dominance over their bodies and relationships … it’s weird and misogynistic!

Pregnancy trope….I do NOT need that level of stress. Romance is supposed to be a fantasy!

Pregnancy trope bc now the character has more work and responsibilities and also age gap. It explains itself.

Step brother and insta love

love triangles, miscommunication, step siblings

miscommunication, lack of trust, insta love, baby/pregnancy trope, cheating, death

I like how you said this - yes!!!! I really like the brother's bf trope but yeah like you described it just like "it seems forbidden but then they accept it better than the mc's thought"

Love triangles, miscommunication, MCs (mostly women) making all the worst decisions ever. Wth is with this 'women are stupid' narrative!

Love triangle, miscommunications, cheating

love triangle

I hate love triangles if I’m reading a book that has it, I ain’t finishing it.

love triangle and enemies to lovers

the bad boy and good girl trope. I mean ofc he'll hurt her and sometimes he'll be too good to be true but i just wanna throw up at that trope

The doesnt tell her about her own pregnancy trope…. Why is this even a reoccuring thing authors do ⁉️

pregnancy, cheating and huge age gaps tropes

Love triangle

miscommunication trope!! UGH I hate that trop with all my heart!

Miscommunication & age gap are the ones I came across so far that I do not like

Not sure if its a trope but like stalking… gross

Miscommunication, older woman/younger man (yh ik I still can’t stand it), step anything…just no, and intsa love, I can’t stand insta love with anything, especially the cringey ones :’) ew
