hii :)
sooo i finished reading reverse by kate stewart 2 days ago and i'm now a changed girl. no fr.
i'm no longer the same person that i was before reading it.
i was on a fantasy readathon but reading reverse changed EVERYTHING lol.
now all i want to read is an emotionally intense, angsty and painful, soul wrecking and heart wrenching and gripping contemporary romance book (being a mood reader sucks at times) and i'm so lost because contemporary romance is not my go-to genre lol.
i'm in desperate need of some good recs and i'm specifically talking about the kind of books that leaves you sobbing and dry heaving and questioning your life choices at 1 am lmao 😭🙏

the will and way duet ( mm romance)
ravenhood by kate stewart (book 1 is not good though lol be warned)
boys of tommen obviously
wrecked by bree l mina (no hea)


yyagmurrtk (pfp by miray 😝) You’re reading contemporary romance? YOU???? Anyway you can read Girl in Pieces, it’s not really romance but you’ll sob uncontrollably 🙂✌🏻😝


✨ayla✨ {i am the one thing in life i can control} If He Had Been With Me is pretty sad at the end (I was sobbing)
Divine Rivals and Ruthless Vows both had me crying at 1am
Hope this helps!!!


belle ੈ✩‧₊˚ Boys of tommen if you want some real heartbreak 💔❤️


message 6: by Emma (new)

Emma a little life by hanya yangihara, its intensly emotional soul destroying contemporary gripping i am not sure its angsty but its gripping and i have not forgotten the reading experience the first time i read it

message 10: by Payal (new)

Payal Omg I just realised that I have never cried reading a contemporary romance genre. Broken country by clare leslie hall is kinda in this genre only and I was sobbing for the last 3 hours of the audiobook. All for the game trilogy is also kinda in this genre as well (the writing is kinda blotchy in this one but it has the best found family I have ver read)


message 11: by kira (new)

kira I HAVE QUITE A FEW RECS: a little life, the song of achilles (not a contemporary romance but will definitely make you stare at the wall after reading), emily henry’s books are bittersweet, if we were villains


message 12: by Murray (new)

Murray Go easy on yourself no beat ups ok. Want angst and good writing ✍🏻 see if you can handle Of Human Bondage. Continue to be so amazing and real 💫


message 13: by laila ౨ৎ (new)

I have never cried as much as I did reading this series


message 14: by Posipi (new)

tan {semi-hiatus for school} i was abt to comment that i don’t but i just remembered one - These Violent Delights by micah nemerever (not the chloe gong one) - it’s dark academia and it’s so emotionally intense, it follows two people who meet each other at college and then fall into dangerously intense codependent relationship. it’s so good like even if you get out of this mood before getting to it, pls eventually read it anyways :)
