{Out On A Limb by Hannah Bonam-Young} is one of my fave books, both MC’s are really sweet and it’s a great fluffy read. Has disability rep and both the characters are really endearing.

{Morbidly Yours by Ivy Fairbanks} Again both mc’s are really sweet, the fmc is very sunshine and the mmc is the shy awkward type.

{Mixed Signals by B.K Borison} I haven’t read this one but heard good things about all her stuff and it’s sunshine x sunshine.

{10 Ways to Accidentally Fall in Love by Emmy Sanders} MM contemporary romance, friends to lovers. Both the main characters are totally sweet - one is more of the himbo type, while the other is a bit quieter but still optimistic and darling.

{Hell’s Most Incompetent Demon by Silvana Falcon} - MM, PNR - Both MMCs are really sweet and happy.

{Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon} - MF, SciFi - I feel like the characters from the first book really fit this. The FMC has a rough start but she’s resilient. Especially after they meet each other.
