In 2024 - Small Things Like These (Claire Keegan), Babel (R.F Kuang) and my reread of To Kill a Mockingbird (Harper Lee).
I don't know about that story in the States, but it doesn't surprise me.
This is from the BBC, interviewing women in Greenland who were fitted with IUDs without their consent. CW, it's pretty grim. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-63863088Yes, I read it a couple of years ago. I remember enjoying it but it wasn't necessarily a stand out book so your take on it sounds about right to me. Definitely interesting from the historical point of view though, pretty shocking to think about what women & girls went through.
Would An American Marriage fit the bill? It’s a crisis within their marriage but by a crime rather than over time,
ohhh! There's a new release that might interest you - I was reading the blurb of it at Waterstones the other day.
I think this is a sequel in a duology - the first is “Out on a Limb” and I think this sequel is about the main couple in the first books married friends.
Funnily enough I was wondering if The Paper Palace would fit the bill as a suggestion
Enemies to lovers
the tension is too much.Is that second one - a lovable fella x a minxy dark femme ?Enemies to lovers
Also like golden retriever x black cat.
SLOW BURN. like the slowest burn possible. i want them blushing over brushing fingertips for at least 200 pages, i hate instalove or stuff where there’s absolutely no buildup. it’s all about the YEARNING for me the MUTUAL PINING. no one does good yearning anymore, i want them looking over just as the other person looks away

my fanfic days (still ongoing) mean i absolutely love fake relationships where they have to share a bed and pretend to be a couple (bonus points if they have to attend lots of family functions and maybe it’s christmas).
i love a wonderful angsty forbidden love story like you though. even better if it’s angst with a happy ending. i really like enemies to lovers but i feel like it’s so rare to find it done well. again, thank you fanfic though
Yeah pretty much positive, loyal, affectionate, loving. Whereas the FMC is more aloof and dark.Is that second one - a lovable fella x a minxy dark femme ?
Same i don't really read romance because every book i picked up seemed to be the enemies to lovers type, and i just found it too predictable and too often, not well written so now I steer clear!SLOW BURN. like the slowest burn possible. i want them blushing over brushing fingertips for at least 200 pages, i hate instalove or stuff where there’s absolutely no buildup. it’s all about the YEARNING for me the MUTUAL PINING. no one does good yearning anymore, i want them looking over just as the other person looks away
