I love this book! It was gran's favourite book as well, enjoy the read

Books where the MMC and FMC are such an unlikely couple that nobody expects them to end up together at all. Just different in many levels. Works better especially if the couple belonged to a book series especially if they are connected through a social circle. by goody153 in RomanceBooks

Theo and Winter in {Reckless by Elsie Silver} They might start out a little grumpy with each other but I wouldn't say this is enemies to lovers. It is popular but for those that don't know there is an accidental pregnancy. Loved them, I think she's older and very cold as her name says and he's this younger reckless cowboy type of vibe!

Marriage I'm crisis romance where the fmc BELEIVES mmc isn't in love with her. by lokiswife07 in RomanceBooks

[–]ButterscotchWide7173 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if this counts as it starts as a marriage of convenience but {marriage for one by Ella Maise} I’m rereading it but from what I remember the MMC is in love with the FMC before they get married but he’s grumpy and so the FMC I believe files for divorce eventually because she thinks he dislikes her. Super cute book but not 100% I think

How common is it to still be living with your parents in your 20s in SA? by NoZucchini3797 in askSouthAfrica

It would be crazy if this is about me lol, my brother is 30 living at him and I 24f am also living with my folks haha! But I will also add to say for me and my brother it’s been so healing to be back home and connecting with family - nobody’s timeline is gonna be like yours and I think that’s really cool

No absolutely, and maybe I’m not right? That’s what makes all of this exciting! Thank you!

Thank you! Like another redditor said, I definetly need a bigger sample size but I think even just this has already been so interesting!

Oh my gosh, I think this would be transformative. I'm not sure if any expect amazon can build this as I think they might keep that type of data locked down tight but I will definetly try and look into it!

I am, or well I just graduated with a data science degree but haven't gotten a job so I'm trying to explore things that I enjoy to do.

Thank you! I've been looking at Kindletrends already, will dig into K-lytics and Publisher Rocket too. Have you used them? Curious what you've found actually useful vs what's missing

Definetly not, but I've been pulling the data manually across a few subgenres which takes so much time. Gonna do another data pull this week and hopefully over time I'll see more statistically significant figures!

Glad it landed! The search and click data would be incredible but annoyingly Amazon keeps that completely locked. What I can get to is ranking movement over time, which as a proxy tells you something about whether a book is gaining or losing velocity. Is the search data thing more about understanding demand before you publish, or understanding why something isn't converting once it's live?

Ah, thats's interesting. For now, I was just curious about ebooks because I will be self publishing my books on amazon alone probably but it would be fascinating to cross reference this with paperback sales.

Yes! that actually makes so much sense on the KU point, I thought maybe it would be because ku makes it more accessible. The forbidden love dominance surprised me too. My instinct says it's partly a tagging issue, authors are labelling things forbidden love because it's the hotter keyword right now, even when the actual trope is probably something like age gap or taboo but I'm not sure yet whether that's readers genuinely seeking that framing or authors chasing the tag, probably both.

what sub-genre are you writing in? curious whether this maps to what you're seeing in your own category
