While I will technically read anything, I usually love the part that the book skirts about. The struggle.
I love the part in Paper princess how she has to work and go to school all alone before she is discovered and ‘rescued’ by the implausible love story that follows. The Merry Gentry series by Laurel k Hamilton, how she is almost killed and mistreated and has to run away from the underhill, before the book turns to how she is discovered and saved in the implausible orgy story.
The Abbi Glines series, the part how she took care of her mother all alone and managed to make her life work. Those struggle parts before the big save are more important to me than the love part of the story. Any chance there are books like that? I don’t even know how to look for those as I don’t know what keywords to use.
