“40 Book Lovers Reveal the Bizarre Real-Life Trends That Make Their Skin Crawl!”
Jealousy of any kind for me. like i love jealousy in books (not at dark romance levels but still) but IRL i have never truly experienced jealousy & it is pretty much a deal breaker. This is not including like healthy, developmentally normal jealousy, I mean the book kind if that makes sense.
Another one of her favorites is the morally gray antihero. “So much fun to write, but in real life, red flags would be waving like it’s a parade.

It gives us the space to ask, What if? while safely knowing we can close the book at any time,” Michelle explains.
Dirty talk. I’m sorry, it takes me out of it. I’m too analytical and in my head for it and a lot of the time it sounds cringey as hell. Heck even when reading sometimes I hate it when it’s overdone and I’m like “dude, please stop talking, you’re ruining it for me!”.
Meanwhile, Jeanne De Vita, award-winning author and editor, creative writing instructor at UCLA Extension, and founder of Book Genie, shares that she adores writing about alpha males. “The swoony heroes who live to protect and who charge past morally gray boundaries and into the darkest aspects of humanity (always, of course, for “reasons”). In reality, I’m a bit of an alpha female who tends to resist/reject patriarchy, inequality, and masculine aggression in all its forms.”
