But there’s plenty to look forward to whether you’re into enemies-to-lovers, second chance romance, Regency England, or secret crushes. If British romcoms are your thing, look for seasoned writer Beth O’Leary and debut novelist Lex Croucher. Abby Jimenez has a book for fans of The Idea of You who long for more age gap romance. And there’s lots of great LGBTQ+ rep, too, including The Romantic Agenda, whose main character is asexual. At the bookshop where I work, we’re constantly expanding our romance section, and it’s so much fun watching people carefully choose their next reads from among the brightly coloured spines. I can’t resist asking if they need my help, which is really just an excuse to gush with them about all these wonderful books. But since I can’t handsell books to all of you, here are a few of my recommendations for this month. Why not branch out into a different trope this month as you build your TBR list? There’s so much goodness here. I’m not a historical fiction reader, but I’m definitely tempted to give Reputation a go. How about you? Need more recommendations?
