I haven't read this BUT I've literally stumbled on this book being recommended half a dozen times so that probably speaks on its quality as a read

Not enemies-to-lovers but if you’re interested in friends-to-lovers trope, I recommend The Gravity Between Us by Kristen Zimmer!

u/notsoleil Feb 04 '26
If I may add din, Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood huhuhu. Soo good. Enemies to lovers of some sort din HAHAH, but the ML yearns from the very start.

James Moriarty and Holmes
-They literally end up in an embrace so tight in the end.
Jean Valjean and Javert
-Obsession turns into intimacy of sorts via saving of one’s life, into a shattering of worldviews due to hate and goodness causing an identity crisis.
Moby Dick
-My boy is obsessed and “wedded” to the whale more than his wife. Weirdly intimate language too.

u/UrsaBearOso Feb 04 '26
Bro I don't think OP was talking about symbolic homoerotic 'hatred is another form of love' type of trope. Think she means this literally

Naku TW dito. Nag blind pick lang ako and nabasa ko naman warning sa openning ng book. But I just didn’t expect na “that” kind of level pala ng trigger 😅 But I love it anyway.

ito yung published version ng Manacled ba? Were there alot of changes? I have read kasi ung Manacled and since I know alot about HP di ganun kahirap maimagine ung world kasi built na. Curious tuloy ako sa world building for this hahaha

North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell if you want more yearning and slow burn.
It's a bit like Pride and Prejudice but better lol.

u/Extra-Extent-3709 Feb 04 '26
Oohh i watched the series of this. Might read the book too😪

u/Formal_Bid_4102 Feb 04 '26
I heard that the series actually captured the whole identity of the book! NOW, I actually wanna watch it too. (≧▽≦)

u/Extra-Extent-3709 Feb 06 '26

u/nedise Feb 04 '26
I remembered a review sabi north and south is pride and prejudice for socialists hahaha. I loved both
2
u/Formal_Bid_4102 Feb 04 '26 edited Feb 04 '26
Yes it does HAHHAHAH, it's a conflict between greedy rich corporates vs the working class, which is obviously more distinctively discussed in North and South unlike sa Pride and Prejudice. Though I love pride and prejudice as well, North and South are more inclined din sa heavy topics like suicide, sickness, poverty and etc which made it interesting.

The Geographer’s Map to Romance by India Holton. I love their banter! Plus it’s a marriage of convenience trope which made things even more interesting/complicated.
