Rom-Com-a-Thon = me reading and reviewing romantic comedy books and helping you find the perfect rom com. If you love romantic comedies as much as I do, check out the books I’ve read below! For each book, I’ll tell you the tropes involved, the level of steam, and the level of humor so you can find the perfect book for you!
What is a Rom Com: (According to me)?
- A Rom Com is first and foremost, a romance. There IS a HEA.
- Tropes! As I discussed in this post, trope is NOT a bad word. Meet Cutes, Hate to Love, Friendship to Love, Fauxmances…. bring them all on!
- Some humor. This does NOT mean a rom com can’t incorporate and address serious issues, but see rule 1: The romance needs to be the main focus. And the seriousness can’t take over the book and make it all sad and dark.
The 12 Best YA Rom Coms – which made my list?
The Soulmate Equation is a classic rom com filled with all our favorite tropes!
Act Your Age, Eve Brown is an opposites attract story about a sunny chef and her grumpy boss.
Take a Hint, Dani Brown is an adorable rom com featuring my favorite pairing: a sarcastic, wise-cracking girl with a guy who’s a big softie.
The Roommate is an opposites attract romance between a straitlaced society girl and an adult film star. It’s (no surprise) on the steamier side!
