Problematic ships I love, dislike myself for loving, and also occasionally love to hate:
Disclaimer: these relationships are not all on the same level of problematic in any way, shape, or form. some are intended to be portrayed negatively, others are not. some of these books are made better by these complications, others are not. and i would generally recommend reading all of the books on this list regardless
