I Love This Trope, Sub-Genre, Setting is a new feature on my blog in which I discuss a trope, sub-genre or setting that I love and tell you about books that are shining examples of said trope, sub-genre or setting. Feel free to play along and please let me know about your favorite books in this realm and whether you like this trope, sub-genre and/or setting as much as I do! Today I am spotlighting the trope of: My Best Friend's Brother/My Brother's Best Friend , which I would define as any book where the heroine either has a crush on or falls for her brother's best friend or her best friend's brother. I have to confess that I love this trope in nearly all of its iterations! I have a younger brother so I never got to crush on any of his friends but it's fun reading about that and it's equally as fun as reading about falling for your best friend's brother -- instant sisters! I know there are a ton...
Well, I could tell you the obvious answer for my book recommendations? ;) Okay no for real. I always suggest the following series: Chaos Walking by Patrick Ness, Unwind by Neal Shusterman, Air Awakens by Elise Kova, Apocalypsis by Elle Casey, The Woodlands by Lauren Nicolle Taylor, Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi.. there are just so many that I love! And then standalones, definitely Rites of Passage by Joy Hensley, Don't Touch by Rachel M Wilson, anything by Cat Winters, anything by Lauren Oliver, Only Ever Yours and Asking For It by Louise O'Neill.. I feel like this list could go on forever? Umm READ ALL THE BOOKS. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe Others! Yes. Do you know I loved The Opportunist but I will/can't do a re-read ever? It pains me even to think about the book and series.

Great selection of books here, Eva! Fab giveaway! :)
