THIS OR THAT? Trope Edition

I saw this tag over at @hades.reads Instagram page, and I thought I would do it too! And anyone is free to do this tag as always. 1. Enemies to lovers or friends to lovers? Friends to lovers of course! Although I do like rivals to lovers as well. In my opinion, it is a superior version of enemies to lovers. 2. Fake dating or age gap? Fake dating. 3. Second chance or best friend's brother? Second chance. 4. Grumpy x sunshine or touch her and die? The grumpy x sunshine dynamic.  5. Spice before or after they fall? Neither! I am not a fan of spicy things in books. If anything remotely spicy does happen, I skim over it.

Funnily enough, I started reading it a little bit after it was announced it was getting a movie. What a coincidence. This is a Adult Contemporary Romance book.

She decided that they go to Palm Springs, California. At the same time, it's a business trip for Poppy to write about Palm Springs for the upcoming issue of the magazine she works fo...
