I’m obsessed with BookTok’s romance recs, and my absolute favorites are the ones that mix humor with heart. 'Beach Read' by Emily Henry is a top-tier pick—it’s witty, romantic, and surprisingly deep. Another standout is 'Red, White & Royal Blue' by Casey McQuiston, which is hilarious and heartwarming with its royal romance shenanigans.

For a steamy, enemies-to-lovers vibe, 'Bully' by Penelope Douglas is a BookTok staple. And if you want a fantasy twist, 'A Court of Thorns and Roses' by Sarah J. Maas blends romance with epic world-building. These books are all over BookTok because they’re addictive, fun, and full of feels.

As someone who spends way too much time scrolling through BookTok, I’ve fallen head over heels for so many romance books that keep popping up. 'It Ends with Us' by Colleen Hoover is a must—it’s raw, emotional, and will wreck you in the best way. Then there’s 'The Love Hypothesis' by Ali Hazelwood, which is perfect if you adore slow-burn, academic romance with all the awkward tension.

For something lighter but equally addictive, 'People We Meet on Vacation' by Emily Henry is a friends-to-lovers gem with killer banter. And if you’re into spicy romance with depth, 'Icebreaker' by Hannah Grace delivers all the hockey-player goodness. BookTok also raves about 'Twisted Love' by Ana Huang for its dark, brooding vibes. These books are all over my FYP for a reason—they’re unputdownable.

If you’re diving into BookTok romance, start with 'November 9' by Colleen Hoover—it’s a yearly-date romance with twists that’ll wreck you. 'The Unhoneymooners' by Christina Lauren is a hilarious hate-to-love story set in paradise. For a sweet YA pick, 'Better Than the Movies' by Lynn Painter is adorable. These are BookTok’s most beloved for a reason—they’re unforgettable.

BookTok got me hooked on romance books I never would’ve picked up otherwise. 'Ugly Love' by Colleen Hoover destroyed me—it’s angsty, passionate, and impossible to forget. I also loved 'The Hating Game' by Sally Thorne for its hilarious workplace rivalry that turns into something sweeter.

For a more unconventional love story, 'The Spanish Love Deception' by Elena Armas is a slow-burn fake-dating trope done right. And if you want a dark, possessive romance, 'Corrupt' by Penelope Douglas is a wild ride. BookTok knows how to deliver the best emotional rollercoasters.

What I didn't realize was that someone could hear my every thought. "Even if you're our biological sister, Alicia is the only one we truly acknowledge. You need to understand your place," said my brothers. 'I must've broken a deal with the devil in a past life to end up in the Stone Family this time,' I figured. My brothers stopped dead in their tracks. "Alice is obedient, sensible, and loves everyone in this family. Don't stir up drama by trying to compete for attention." I couldn't help but think, 'Well, she's sensible enough to ruin everyone's lives and loves you all to the point of making me nauseous.' The brothers looked dumbfounded.

Don't Date Your Best Friend (The Unfolding Duet 2 Books)
He shouldn’t have imagined her lying naked on his bed. She shouldn’t have imagined his devilishly handsome face between her legs. But it was too late. Kiara began noticing Ethan's washboard abs when he hopped out of the pool, dripping wet after swim practice. Ethan began gazing at Kiara’s golden skin in a bikini as a grown woman instead of the girl next door he grew up with. That kiss should have never happened. It was just one moment in a lifetime of moments, but they both felt its power. They knew the thrumming in their veins and desperation in their bodies might give them all they ever wanted or ruin everything if they followed it. Kiara and Ethan knew they should have never kissed. But it's too late to take that choice back, so they have a new one to make. Fall for each other and risk their friendship or try to forget one little kiss that might change everything. PREVIEW: “If you don’t want to kiss me then... let’s swim.” “Yeah, sure.” “Naked.” “What?” “I always wanted to try skinny dipping. And I really want to get out of these clothes.” “What if someone catches you... me, both?” “We will be in the pool, Ethan. And no one can see us from the living room.” I smirked when I said, “Unless you want to watch me while I swim, you can stay here.” His eyes darkened, and he looked away, probably thinking the same when I noticed red blush creeping up his neck and making his ears and cheeks flush. Cute. “Come on, Ethan. Don’t be a chicken...” “Fine.” His voice was rough when he said, “Remove that sweater first.”

BookTok has totally reshaped my romance reading list, and I’m obsessed with the gems it’s unearthed. 'It Ends with Us' by Colleen Hoover is a emotional rollercoaster—raw, heartbreaking, and unexpectedly hopeful. The way it tackles heavy themes while keeping the romance palpable is masterful.

As someone who spends way too much time scrolling through BookTok, I've come across some truly heart-wrenching romance novels that left me emotionally wrecked in the best way possible. 'It Ends with Us' by Colleen Hoover is a prime example—this book doesn’t just tug at your heartstrings; it yanks them out. The raw portrayal of love, sacrifice, and resilience is unforgettable. Another gut-punch is 'The Song of Achilles' by Madeline Miller, which reimagines a classic tale with such tenderness and tragedy that I sobbed for days. For those who love slow-burn angst, 'Normal People' by Sally Rooney delivers a masterclass in emotional complexity. The ending isn’t neatly tied up, which makes it feel painfully real. And let’s not forget 'They Both Die at the End' by Adam Silvera—the title spoils the ending, but the journey is so beautifully crafted that you’ll still hope for a different outcome. These books don’t just make you cry; they make you feel deeply, which is why they’re BookTok favorites.
