In this fun and unfiltered episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli face off in a hilarious, chaotic, and surprisingly heartfelt tournament to crown the ultimate romance trope. From classics like second chance romance and beauty and the beast to the more controversial step-sibling crush and the bet, the hosts debate each trope's merits—and cringe-factor—with personal anecdotes, dramatic examples (hello, fanfiction and Twilight), and passionate rants.

As the bracket unfolds, they eliminate tropes that feel outdated, problematic, or just plain tired (RIP Insta Love and boss/employee romance) while gushing over their favorites (Grumpy x Sunshine and forced proximity). 

They also take a moment to plug their book club pick (Enchantra by Kaylie Smith), their Patreon and Ko-fi, and share their current fixations—Resident Evil and Hello Kitty Island Adventure, naturally.

Tune in for bookish banter, unfiltered opinions, and a reminder that yes, they may have John Mayer’d a few of the matchups—but it was all in good fun.
