MY WISHLIST
#
MSWL
Overall, I love stories with a compelling hook, an emphasis on character development, high stakes, and plot twists.
I enjoy reading stories with diverse voices from all backgrounds.
I am always intrigued by historical or unique settings!
The most important thing for me when reading a manuscript is to connect to the protagonist. I often connect to vulnerable protagonists who discover their strengths. I am also very captivated by morally gray or flawed characters.
In romance, my favorite tropes are slow-burn, banter, forced proximity, enemies to lovers, and forbidden love.
