I love most romance tropes, but tropes with things like teacher x student or anything with age gaps is…..no thank you :)

also pregnancy tropes are okay- depends how they are done

Hate : brothers best friend trope

Hate: pregnancy trope (hate, hate, hate this), bully trope (Zodiac Academy is the exception), insta-love (this isn't Hallmark), and miscommunication (this is kinda minor), unrequited love (it's so annoying when the girl spends the whole book pining after a one-sided relationship)

Love: enemies to friends/lovers (I love seeing arguments turn into bantering), rivals (give me a good rivals book any day), star-crossed lovers (this one's hit or miss), morally grey (when characters have questionable ethics but we love them anyways)
