This Week's Topic
Happy Friday! I actually had a different topic picked out for this month, but then I saw the Let's Talk Bookish prompt and was inspired to add my two cents to the discussion.
If I've said it once, I have said it a thousand times - I LOVE TROPES! The truth is there are very few tropes I don't like, but my favorites are friends-to-lovers and second chance romance. Today, I am going to talk more about second chance romances.
I constantly blather on about the way second chances in books give me hope. It can be a second chance at anything, but the ultimate second chance is with the love of your life. It's so easy to root for people who meant so much to each and who were torn apart for whatever dramatic reason but somehow, find their way back to each other. That right there is the universe giving that relationship its stamp of approval. It's fated, written in the stars, and who are we to get in the way of that????
But the characters also tend to have quite a bit of history, or at least some history. Below are ten second-chance romances I adored. Some are reunions with first loves from their youth. There are several summer romances that get an opportunity to become more years later, and there's one where a whirlwind romance is given a second chance when the pair find their worlds colliding. Regardless of the circumstances, all these couples got a second shot at love, and I enjoyed cheering them on.
