My life next door is one of my favorite books! I think I’m the only person who doesn’t live Christina Lauren though!!

Oh… I always feel embarrassed about my romance novel habit, but I have to say the fake dating ones always entertain me despite (or perhaps because?) they are the most ludicrous and least plausible.
Also kind of got a sweet spot for fake and/or arranged marriages which I blame on watching too much K-drama and Bollywood in my youth.

The only relationship developing through text book I’ve ever read is Geekerella. I really enjoyed it though!

Have you read Fix Her Up yet? It had both fake dating and brother’s best friend. The romance was a little fast for me, but the sex was steamy af!

Friends to lovers and pinning from afar are great tropes! They usually imply slowburn romance, and I live for those!

I love that you’ve included examples of books with each trope. I also adore enemies to lovers and really enjoy books that use different methods of communication, like texts, in them.

Atm my favorite enemies to lovers is definitely The Cruel Prince. I also loved Wicked Lovely which I think had that too (I definitely remember the main character hating the other) but it’s been a while and I definitely need to re-read it again to refresh my memory. When I was younger I used to love the Princess Diaries for containing different features like lists and notes. A lot of YA & adult books that contain such features I still need to read though (like 13 Little Blue Envelopes). Although I did love The Silent Companions which had some pretty good diaries entries in it.
