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. 🙏
