guys, is it just me……BUT i absolutely HATE the trope of siblings dating another pair of siblings & siblings dating each other’s best friend etc. listen, i love the brother’s best friend trope like any person would BUT, does it really need to be in every single book, that all of them are connected in some way, & to be not mad or hypocritical about the relationship or wtv, they just make the brother date the girl best friend like PLS NO. or they make them date their best friend’s sister. and it could be the guy best friend or brother etc wtv. ITS ALWAYS LIKE THAT, girl vs boy, girl vs girl, boy vs boy. like omfg pls. can we be just chill or mad about it for another reason…….i feel like i expect it in every book nowadays. even if it’s not necessarily the brother’s best friend trope. it isn’t like that irl yk? like yes it happens but just to one pair…….no way all of them are connected. sometimes i would like to just read about one couple and have their siblings/best friends BE SEPARATE!!!! they can know each other & hang out once in a while (it’s impossible not to) or wtv but PLSSSSS let them have other partners. i get that it’s probably too many ppl to keep track of but like….stop relying on that plot point. let their siblings & best friends have other ppl to hang out with or date. NOT WITH JUST THEM. imo, the dating thing is the WORST for me. like fine, there’s no other friends but like….are you fr? dating in this friencest circle……PLS STOP ✋
