Underrated tropes BookTok isn’t talking about yet: The Platonic Soulmate
Romance gets sold to us as the endgame: the kiss, the wedding, the happily-ever-after. But what about the other kind of love? The friends who keep us standing. The ones who show up at 1am, who let us cry into their hoodie, who remind us we’re not as alone as our brains try to convince us.
10 books I’d give to someone in a reading slump
Reading slumps are the worst. But they don’t mean you’ve fallen out of love with books forever. You just need the right spark, the kind of story that grabs you straight away and reminds you how good it feels to be hooked. For me, slump-busters are usually short, voicey, or so addictive I forget to check my phone.
Every book on this list does at least one of those things. Hopefully one of them will be the one that snaps you out of it.
