![]() ![]() ![]() When I say I love enemies-to-lovers, I’m N O T talking about a boy systematically abusing a girl because “he likes her”. Now before I go further, I do want to pause and talk about how this trope can be problematic and how there’s a difference between “enemies” of circumstance, etc, versus actual abusive relationships that are inherently unhealthy. Give me a bejewelled sWORD, sir, and I shall ride into the wars for this trope. ➢ just here for that moment when it turns from “I would kill you” to “I would kill for you”. ➢ there’s usually BANTER then the bickering turns to flirting ➢ the rest of the time it’s just one person being super ornery and the other being a huge flirt □ ➢ often times it’s about overcoming a centuries old hate or prejudices, which can be powerful ➢ it generally equates two VERY opposite or VERY similar personalities, hence the clashes, and it’s fascinating watching two people learn to fit together, despite differences. ➢ we have the good old “will they/wont’ they” going on which causes a lot of plot tension ![]() I do think there’s a lot of lures to this trope that makes it addictive to read. Oh the chemistry, the sexual tension, the angst! That question we all ask ourselves as we read: “WILL THEY KISS OR STAB? WE DON’T KNOW!! EXCITING!!” It’s no secret that this is a very beloved trope. If you have a quiet craving for more enemies-to-lovers romances…oh, do I have a list for you. ![]()
