Enemies to Lovers or Friends to Lovers?

It honestly took me an entire month to sit down and gather all my points for this, mostly because I needed a mental reset every time I scrolled through the “Enemies to Lovers” side of BookTok. At this point, the math is simply not mathing.  In this video, I’m finally hammering out some logic on the difference between a healthy rivalry and what most people are currently reading which is usually just a restraining order disguised as romance. I’m sticking with my favorites like Mr. Darcy, Usui, and Akito because they actually understand mutual respect. Real life is already a civil war, I don’t need it in my books too. I’ll take the slow ache of a safe best friend over a “bully” any day of the week. Subscribe to support the channel if you want to see me roast more tropes. Thank You!
