Be cautious of books where the banter is all the marketing has. Sometimes the sample chapter has all the good lines, and the rest of the book falls into generic introspection. Read those samples!
Honestly, my favorite finds lately have been from authors who clearly grew up on '90s rom-com films. There's a rhythm to the dialogue that's just pure fun, less focused on steamy scenes and more on the build-up through conversation.
The risk with constant banter is emotional whiplash if the serious moments aren't earned. The transition from laughing to crying needs a deft hand, or the whole emotional core can feel unsteady.
Sometimes the setting does a lot of the work. A wedding, a destination trip, a shared project—these forced collaborations naturally generate conversation that can be steered toward witty conflict and connection.
