Why are there so many shows and books about straight couples trying to hide their relationship because it’s supposedly some huge deal? They always have a stupid reason for why it has to be a secret. It’s always 'He is a jock and I'm a nerd/shy girl' or 'I don't want to be seen with a playboy because it can ruin my reputation' and other bullshit. Like at least make it interesting Add cheating or change up the roles or something. 😭
I have never understood why they don't just say they are friends. Why is it always 'Nobody can see us together' yet they are always doing stuff in public? That does not scream 'someone who wants to keep their relationship low-key.' Honestly secret relationships only work when it's not modern era setting or when it involves queer people
Most characters in these books have absolutely no depth. I swear I feel like they are the exact same characters just with different names and appearances; their personalities and plots are identical. There is a 70% chance there will be a scene where the boy does something wrong, the girl leaves him for a couple of days or weeks but in the end, they get together because he has 'changed.' Apparently, he loves her deeply, she is the best thing that ever happened to him, and nothing else matters. I feel like most of these authors just write a list of tropes and scenes first and then start writing the book around them.
(Btw why are they are always partying. Why is every male lead in these books a total party freak while the girl absolutely hates partying but somehow she is forced to go to one anyway and magically finally has 'fun'?
And another think why is the male lead always failing his classes? You would think that since he is an athlete he would need to get decent grades just to be allowed to play. But he is always failing. How is he even in team for this long if he's been failing classes for that long? You would think someone who thinks their sport is important would actually try their best to stay on the team and get good grades to stay their team)
