every single moment in A thousand boy kisses made me cringe
The comment above me is so real for that. A Thousand Boy Kisses was not it for me
Guy complaining about nurses in US not being young and pretty. Sorry. We like them qualified here.
Throughout the Plated Prisoner series the king golluming over the heroine, refering to her as his "precious" and also the heroine always saying "bright side" in a bad situation. Also everyone saying "Devine/Great Devine"
I think the moment in the breakaway where she says "so if you kill me and dismember me, they know where to start looking." and all he says is "serial killers don't take trophies."

And when Deidemia tried getting Patroclus in her bed in the song of Achilles.
omygod. nothing is more cringe than when the female main character has that moment of "oh they will make fun of how skinny, pale and petite I am :( no one will love me like this" bitch that is the MOST wanted physique. shut the fuck up.
Edward literally saying that Bella wasn't like other girls. *shudders*

When a character is just as skinny as every other but because they weigh like 1 gram more than the others, they constantly complain about how fat they are and that they won't find a partner because why would anyone love someone that "fat"? UGH.
timefliesaway: I could see that being annoying to read about unless the character has body dysmorphia and an eating disorder and it is portrayed well. I've struggled with body dysmorphia but everyone says I'm skinny.
The moment a pet is introduced in a scene and I become aware I have not vetted the book
In "romance" novels when the guy says something along the lines of "You're mine, body and soul." No, actually I'm mine, thanks. This trope has been around since Heathcliff and Rochester. Yeah, you remember Rochester, the guy who kept his first wife locked up in the attic in her nightgown. No wonder she was insane, that would drive anyone over the edge.
“People are like onions. Many layers.” I read this in You’d Be Home by Kathleen Glasgow. I shit you not it was supposed to be this “deep and heartfelt” moment. There was no acknowledgment to it being a Shrek reference it was trying to be 100% serious.
Someone denying a compliment someone else gives them. I don't have a certain book in my head or anything, but it just sounds like a pick me. for example: 'you have pretty eyes' 'oh no, my eyes are so ugly, yours are way prettier.'

I can't remember the exact quote but it says something about how some people "want to peel the universe like an onion--but an onion is all peel." That was way before Shrek.

The entirety of how to kill your family was cringe.Also Grayson Hawthorne.
Wtf was up with him?? Acting like his whole personality was having trauma and obsessing over his dead gf. Emily this Emily that.
Some of the awful characters in books make me cringe such as the father in `People Person'.
Jameson Hawthorne from Inheritance Games #1 has to be the cringiest guy I ever met. Man would really be out here spewing nonsense riddles with no head or tail thinking he was Ghandi or sum shit. Chile✋
This one line in Ana Huang's books : " my cock threatened to punch a hole through my pants" Like???
It's repeated in 2 books of the twisted series lol (haven't read the last one but I really hope she didn't use it again)

Ex-actly. Like the titular guy in Kafka on the Shore who kept talking about how his cock was "as hard as porcelain." I get that he's 15 but please.
The amount of times ''I tried to listen (to something), but the only thing I was hearing was the beating of my heart'' is repeated in the 5th Wave trilogy is insane.
“He growled/ barked”
"I know what you are""say it. out loud"
"vampire!"
