Any books with a caretaker MMC and a mentally ill FMC
Hi everyone! I recently finished Hurt by Lydia Micheals and, as much as I enjoyed the shared aspect of the two MC’s trauma, I missed the distinctly caretaking MMC seen in both {At First Spite by Olivia Dade} and {Salvation by Noelle Adams}.
Salvation is probably my favourite of this trope, right after At First Spite, where the MMC essentially takes on the role of taking care of and keeping an eye on the FMC after a traumatic event leaves her struggling mentally pretty severely.
I was hoping for any rec’s (preferably contemporary) where the FMC is struggling with some sort form of mental health issues and the MMC takes it upon himself to nurture her back to health. I’m not a fan of the whole magic-dick approach, and would like a more realistic portrayal of the FMC getting better with her mental health not magically improving because of the MMC.
A few others I’ve read that I feel fit this quite well:
- {Unperfect by Susie Tate}
- {Outlier by Susie Tate}
- {Binding 13/Keeping 13 by Chloe Walsh}
Of course this might be a little specific, but I felt I’d exhausted the rec’s under older posts requesting similar and thought to make my own. I appreciate any suggestion anyone may have!
