I may be stretching for nothing here but after rewatching Buffy and Girlmore Girls recently, I’m really craving a book that has similar witty characters.
I love fantasy and most romance or contemporary fic I read, but I just need a break from the seriousness ‘it’s my destiny and only i can do it’ and want a main character to crack some jokes and not just the comedic relief sidekick. Some romance novels I’ve read have some ‘oops I’m so awkward lol’ which is fine, but something along the lines of buffy/lorelai banter would really scratch the itch.
This might be wayyyy too specific and niche, however in my head I’m imagining there’s got to be a book about a small town romance with a polar opposite pairing but top-notch banter, no love at first sight and realistically flawed characters (Emily Henry books are coming in closest here that I’ve read) OR a fantasy with the typical ‘chosen one/only I can do it’ but kind of resents it, jokes and makes light of their situation.
If anything comes close, please still mention it as I feel my chances are somewhat low
