Often there's a lot of miscommunication and it makes me mad

It’s a trope that’s been growing on me! I think a lot of the ones I read in the past included miscommunication in the breakup - or a secret baby, which is one of my least fave tropes. But then I read Forget Me Not and the way it was written was SO good, with the dual timeline, I was just hooked. Happy Place and The Ex Vows were also two faves! So, all in all, I need more like those three and less like “I gave you the wrong number, whoops, but also you have a baby?!?” 😂

I LOVE 2nd chance!!

I’ve never heard anyone say that before. I have written a ton of second chance romances. My readers have always seemed to enjoy it. But there’s a lot more to the stories than just second chance. There’s a ton of drama and some suspense with at least some sort of subplot. I also don’t do much “miscommunication” So I guess I don’t understand the dislike? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Unless the only plot point is second chance? 🤔 Now you’ve got my mind working overtime. ❤️

I don't like them bc its not something I can relate to. I have never gone back to an ex & I have never pined over someone years after we split. In those tropes one person usually did something terrible to the other. I can see forgiving and moving on, but never would I giving another chance. The only time I can tolerate it is if its like they split from high school for diff colleges type situation. Even in other books when the 3rd act break up is for months I'm questioning it

I just finished the audiobook of Happy Place knowing nothing going in and it ROCKED me, I need more! The built-in tension from the start of a second-chance romance is just *so* good

I love second chance romances. There is already an established emotional connection and I love seeing them find it again.

it’s one of my least favorite tropes ever but if a book that I’m really excited about has it, I’ll still read it. so I don’t totally dismiss it but I do avoid them if possible. I think for me it’s more that if you break up, it’s done like there’s zero point to going back. Also I can’t relate at all bc I would never go back to an ex. Then again I can’t relate to enemies to lovers or an arranged marriage and I eat those up every time

Idk about others but I LOVE second chance romances. I instantly read them if it has the trope listed in it

Give 'second chance' a chance! 😅 Anyway, I don't have strong feelings either way. There are very few tropes that I won't read or am not a big fan of. I didn't know there were strong feelings about this one.
