Contemporary romance featuring independent city girl heroines. Love when the "go back home/marry HS sweetheart" trope is dashed. #MSWL

Definitely queer POC on my #MSWL. Sweeping, breathtaking, VERY romantic or friendship-focused. Maybe magical.

More on humor- I particularly like unabashed wit from my protags in YA/MG - their uncensored/unjaded view of the world can be awesome #mswl

M/M romance featuring active-duty members of the military. Contemporary would be great, but would LOVE to see WWII era. #MSWL
