    MUST BE by a BIPOC author and MUST have at least one of the main characters be BIPOC

    There are lots of lists of books like this rec but I want to know about the book before I add it to my TBR.

    Don't care for

    • sports romances

    • billionaire romances

    • High fantasy

    • Lots of smut

    DO LIKE

    Looking for one or a combo of any of these, pile me up with book recs!

    • open to any gender/sexual orientation combo

    • contemporary. Love text messages between characters, love diary entries too! Modern day setting. Modern can also be as far back as the '50s, just no 1800s or historical fiction, etc.

    • Friends to lovers

    • plus size MCs where it's not a plot device or a fetish that one or both are plus size

    • Forced proximity

    • Slow burn

    • But am also OK with insta lust

    • OK with a romantic sub plot (see The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune)

    • Some magical realism (like in One Last Stop by Casey Mcquiston)

    • Fake dating as long as it's not one sided fake dating (think the holidate movie and not every teen TV show where the guy goes on a girl because of a bet/dare)

    Please provide details on the book recs. 🙏
