☆ 4.5/5 so far
[PG, school life, slice of life, comedy, drama]
TW: violence
+ friendship/bromance
+ funny as hell
About four boys being silly together. There's some stuff about mafia and kidnapping or whatever, but it's secondary to the relationship and bond between the main characters.
☆ 4.5/5
[18+, slice of life, rom-com, found family]
TW: underage sex with adult, cheating, promiscuous behavior, homophobia, transphobia, attempted rape (not between MCs)
+ childhood friends to lovers
+ reversible couple
+ LGBT rep.
+ realistic
+ great characters & development
+ gender non-conformity
Took me a while to understand the questionable things MC did, but i eventually realized that this is a beautiful story about finding those who can make you feel alright with being imperfect.
4/5
[PG, mystery, rom-com]
TW: bullying, abuse, murder, violence, disturbingly possessive behavior, suicidal thought, asshole characters
+ enemies to friends to enemies to friends to lovers (yup)
+ interesting plot
Two flawed guys who seemed unable to get out of each other's orbit chasing after a serial killer that made a huge impact on their teenage days. There are plot holes and the main characters are seriously of incredibly questionable morals, but it's still an entertaining read.
4.5/5
[18+, found family, slice of life, hurt/comfort, kids]
TW: toxic work environment
One chapter in and i'm already hooked! It struck me deep, and kinda hurts reading this because i know very well the feeling of seeing all your peers going up in their lives when you yourself are stagnant, or even declining.
[PG, rom-com, slice of life]
+ friends to lovers
+ manly couple
+ muscular men being awkwardly sweet with each other
Ohoho i do love it when two manly men shuffle their feet like grade schoolers because they're too awkward with their affection. And this one is a friends to lovers too! A nice read.
[18+, slice of life, rom-com]
TW: possessive behavior, codependency
4/5
[18+, romance, drama]
TW: fwb
+ friends to fwb to lovers
+ 10 years of misunderstanding that was resolved pretty well
