Tropes I love:
Found family
Enemies to lovers
Robot learns the power of love (actual robot/ android or just someone with stiff personality)
Morally grey character learns to trust
Tropes/ things I dislike:
Miscommunication
General secondhand embarrassment
Intensely scary
Fantasy, sci-fi, western, general fiction, non-fiction, or whatever- I like all genres. Spice or none -either is good
Extra bonuses- I enjoy books that involve cultures and places I am less familiar with (I’m white North American), stand alone over series, prefer less than ~500 pages/ 20hrs
I would love any suggestions in the wheelhouse of anything above. Thank you! (crossposted)

Light from Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki ticks quite a few of these boxes!
*The Safekeep* by Yael van der Wouden. Historical literary fiction set in the Netherlands 15 years after WWII. Won the Women’s Prize for Fiction last year. Around 250 pages iirc. Enemies to lovers trope, sort of.
I imagine you’ll get a lot of recommendations of both of these, but:
Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir (and the rest of The Locked Tomb series)
The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers (and the rest of the Wayfarers series)
Legends and Lattes series by Travis Baldree
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
