So, not only is he her boss, which is already a reason to call HR, he's not just a normal boss because he is a super villain. I think out of all the ones that we've discussed so far, this one is by far the worst.

If this happened in real life, if I found out that there are two authors out there that have like a little rivalry going on and have a little bet going that they're going to write in each other's genre, I would Oh my god, I would lose my mind over that. This is the best story to tell your grandkids.

If anything like that happened somewhere in my family, I will be passing that on generation to generation. That is a beautiful story.

Fourth WingRebecca Yarros
Loved it

I recently finished fourth wing, so I can now finally join the discussion about Zaden and Violet. You know what? Just based on that, I'm going to say I ship it.

Girl, you are dating someone who actively discriminates against your entire kind. I would say in real life a little bit of falling in love with each other is not going to make that right.

I'm going to be honest, it's not quite toxic or like bad, but I also don't necessarily ship it. I guess she is constantly lying to him about her true nature, which I would say is kind of toxic.

But then of course they develop real attraction to each other, which like many of the things that we've mentioned so far, you are building your relationship on a foundation of lies. It's taking keep your friends close but your enemies closer way too literally.

The Cruel PrinceHolly Black
Loved it

This series has one of my favorite fictional romances, the one between Jude and Carden. It works in the book because it's a story about Fay. So yeah, if you would do that in real life as humans, it would be the most toxic relationship ever, but I still ship it in the book.

The DealElle Kennedy
Loved it

But in this book, the scheme is not that elaborate. It's just like they're kind of like college dating. Honestly, I don't know. I think it's kind of cute.

The Fine PrintLauren Asher
Not a fan

There are multiple moments in this book where she's like, "No, I really can't do this." and he keeps pushing her, which like it's a round trip to HR if you ask me.

The Love HypothesisAli Hazelwood
Not a fan

Imagine having to pretend to date someone who is your like work superior. HR would not be happy with that. These kinds of things, they always go super well in the books, but in real life, the chances of like having a miscommunication and just completely messing up how safe you feel around that person. Oh, too much chance of that happening.
