MEGATHREAD: FRIENDS TO LOVERS

Trope rec megathread

Hello r/RomanceBooks! You said you’d like more mega threads and I’m here to deliver!

This megathread is going to be about: FRIENDS TO LOVERS

Here is a link to all previous MEGATHREADS.

What is a FRIENDS TO LOVERS? This is when the main characters are friends before they fall in love. There's often a lot of moments showing how well they know each other. A common reason not to get together is that they might ruin their friendship.

Here’s how this works.

  • Drop a comment down below with your recommended book(s).
  • What’s the subgenre? What’re the pairing? Is it Contemporary Romance or Historical Romance or...? MF, MM, FF...?
  • Explain how it fits the trope. How long have the characters been friends? Do they keep the relationship a secret from other friends? Do they move to friends with benefits?
  • Tell is why you love the book. “Well written” doesn’t count: let’s just assume they all are. Things like “smoking hot” and “character growth” and “amazing world building” are all acceptable.
  • What other tropes does the book have? Enemies to lovers? Slow burn?
  • Character archetypes! Is the MMC an alpha male? Or a duke? Is she a doctor or a bluestocking?

So tell us, what’s your favorite FRIENDS TO LOVERS?
