Indulgent, unrealistic, 'if everything was perfect' books
- I'm not sure how to word this, I'm going to do my best!
- Have you ever read a book where absolutely everything goes PERFECTLY for the MCs during the book? Any conflict - immediately solved whenever an issue comes up. Relationship - perfect and besotted with each other throughout. Regular human problems - not an issue, this is FICTION.
- One author I've read who writes like this pretty consistently in ALL of her books (which aren't great, so I wouldn't rec) writes a lot of MC romance and the FMCs are almost always kidnapped and then immediately rescued, checked over by private doctors and taken back to their mansions because they're all multimillionaires despite not really working. There's also numerous occasions where they come across neglected children and are able to just immediately take them home and adopt them because they just own the entire court system?! Wouldn't it be nice if abandoned children could get loving homes just like that?!
- Another author {Broke Down by Sharan Daire} has her FMC at a low point in life, plucked up out of a freezing storm with her children, put up with 4 multi millionaires who think she's the best thing ever. She helps basically cure an MMC's PTSD - love how that works! They set her up as a supermodel. And lots of other crazily indulgent, 'wouldn't that be nice' antics ensue.
- So that would be my request if anyone could help - books that feel crazily indulgent and are a sort of 'fantasy' (but not the type with dragons) where everything is all lovely and fluffy and easy and not at all how the real world works. My brain occasionally needs a break from books that remind me of the harsh reality of the real world! I hope this makes sense :)
