Reader Recommendations - Our favorite books featuring love triangles, infidelity & "Other Woman" drama... - Maryse's Book Blog
Tammie is looking for one of my favorite tropes. Why is it a favorite? Because it’s got so much potential for unrequited love drama, angst, and kindle-throwing, absolutely gutting heartache, and…personal growth. Maybe even groveling.
