I loved romance books as a teen. As a married adult with a baby, I can’t force myself to get through them anymore. I’ve realized now that a lot of romance books don’t exactly depict healthy relationships (at least the ones I was reading didn’t) so It’s hard for me to describe my preferred genre now. If you’ve ever read a visit from the goon squad thats the type of book i enjoy most these days: a lot of characters with flaws, who’s stories intertwine, in realistic settings

Edit: I also went through a murder mystery/true crime phase. But since having a baby I can’t really stomach it anymore. Especially true crime media that’s sensationalized. I know I should’ve realized it sooner, but I would be livid if someone made money off of my loved one’s murder with their shitty book/show/podcast etc. That morbid curiosity has somewhat vanished for me and I think I’m a lot healthier emotionally for it tbh
