So I somehow made up two scenarios in my head and now I want to read books that are closest to the said scenarios.
Please recommend any books that come to mind that you are close to either of the mentioned “tropes”.
Thanks.

1. MMC/FMC are room mates. They date people get jealous, realise they are in love, date but breakup. One of them ends up moving out. And then years later they meet again.
2. FMC is a single mom and MMC is the nerd she used to tease as a kid and now he is the (hot) primary school teacher of her kid. And oh does he remember the school bully. Imagine him meeting her for the first time and saying “the apple doesnt fall far from the tree” 🤣 yeah that kinda vibe.

Yeah.. these scenarios sound so common but i was unable to find any books that are even close to them.

1. Stephen king books! Older/hard cover editions or new reissue editions!

2. Dan simmon books.

3. Blake crouch books.

4. Any high fantasy or epic fantasy books.

5. Post apocalyptic books.
