"My favorite trope is when the female character is so badass he doesn't even know what to do with his life." - Petition for this to be the actual trope name.
@@JadeFergieB This is like one of my favorite tropes lmao. Recent ones that spring to mind, Poppy War by R.F Kuang Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Morena Garcia (and Mexican Gothic!!) A Song of Wraiths And Ruin by Roseanne A Brown Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor Crier's War by Nina Varela (this is like a gay version of this its amazing) The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi The Fifth season by Nk Jemisin (the biggest offender on this list. though the romance aspect is a very small portion)
i was fangirling with you on Uprooted. like when Dragon made the rose and her understanding and cupped her palms with his and they both made a forest of flowers with their magic combined? love that scene and love them together
my favourite ships are slow burn romances that started out as angst bc they like to pretend they hate each other and they both think the other doesn't like them bUT THEN THEY REALISE AND ITS ALL FLUFFY AND HAPPY EVEN THO THERES STILL SOME UNRELYING SADNESS ITS SO SPECIFIC BUT ITS MY FAVOURITE. my favourite ship is kanej i love them so much. like when kaz says "i protect my investments" UH DONT YOU MEAN YOU PROTECT THE LOVE OFBYOUR LIFE. AND WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT HER LAUGH AND WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT HER SMILE ND THE FAMOUS I WOULD HVE COME FOR YOU LINE AAAAH I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS.
Agnieszka and Dragon making magic was honestly the hottest part of the book, even when you include their love scenes. Their tension and power is intoxicating.
I was writing a comment about how the Uprooted romance was my fav of this list; then you brought up Six of Crows and I just fell over under the weight of my fangirling feelings!!!
I didn't even know what angst meant before this video but now I've realised that I love angsty romance :) I'll definitely pick up the books you mentioned that I haven't read yet!
Angsty romance automatically brings Buffy/Angel and Buffy/Spike... I love angsty, broody romance/love. Fluff is nice, but only once in a while. BRING ON THE ANGST!
The ships in Six of Crows are such a beautiful bundle of angst like it hurts me. And I also have Jasper & Wylan to provide all the fluff I need. Just...EVERYTHING ABOUT ALL THE COUPLES IN SIX IR CROWS IS BEAUTIFUL
OMG woman, every time you say you have only read the first book of Daughter of Smoke and Bone, it kills me! Because as much as I LOVE the first book, the next two just get better and BETTER! ok =) I really need you to read and I want to listen to you gush
Angsty romance, when done correctly, is my absolute fave!! I absolutely loved every single couple you picked. I am such a sucker for broody relationships. Jane Eyre is such a great one too, and Crown Duel!
Uprooted is one of my favorite books of all time!! Thanks for including it. New to your channel and you and I seem to have similar tastes so I'm glad I found you!
even before I read Wuthering heights I saw the Tom Hardy version without knowing what it was on tv late at night and then I had to haunt to find the book because the names had been translated to the language we were watching and I never got to see the end. Can't believe you mentioned it, it made me so happy! Wuthering Heights is now one of my favourite books :)
Jules and Emma from Lady Midnight combine everything I love about friends-to-lovers with everything I love about angst and I think I had like 15 heart attacks while reading that book.
My faves are definitely Ari and Dante, Kaz and Inej and Achilles and Patroclus. I also really like Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, Shazi and Khalid and Rhys and Feyre.
I loved this video so much, this theme is basically what cemented our friendship way way back haha. I already said this on Twitter, but the day someone includes my future novel in something like this, I will be so emotional hahaha.
YES my favorite topic. I, of course, loved many of these that you mentioned but another that comes to mind is Margaret and John in North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell. Miniseries is great too!
Such a good list! A few I'm not familiar with, but most I am and love. So much. I would add to those - Ronan and Adam from the Raven Boys, Feyre and Rhysand from ACOMAF, Jane and Leo from the Jane Yellowrock books, and my guilty pleasure-Sydney and Adrian from Bloodlines. I love a good angsty romance, especially when the dialogue and payoff is good. (Also, I've seen you mention Uprooted a few times now and I'm going to have to read that soon.)
Angsty romances are the best thing in the world. I just read The Wrath and the Dawn Duology and almost died because Shazi and Khalid are my babies now. Feysand will forever be my main OTP because they are absolutely wonderful. Many people will disagree with me about this one, but Rowaelin also gives me alot of feelings. Wessa and Jemma from the Shadowhunter Chronicles. Bella and Edward forever (I know there are some problematic things but I freaking love them). For movies: Jack and Rose (Titanic) and Pocahontas and John Smith. ❤
The most angsty series I have read that actually gave me physical pain was the clockwork series. You might not be a fan of the shadowhunters world but I can guarantee you'll love it
Loved this video! 100% agree with you about "I'll Give You The Sun". I finished that book a few weeks ago and I'm still not over it. Although I didn't like the writing all that much, the plot and the characters really got to me. And what you said about Wuthering Heights and The Wrath & The Dawn made me decide on what books I'm reading next month 😜 I'm a sucker for angsty, toe curling, "want-to-slap-the-characters-to-make-them-see-they-love-each-other" kind of romances!
You're so pretty! Loved the lipstick, I always check what are you wearing everytime I watch your video, haha. Aaaahhhh loved angsty romance in books! Hate instalove!
For me, angst is all about the longing, the ache- la doleur exquise. It's the tension, the will they won't they. Stories about second chance do this very well, I think. It's why Persuasion and The Great Gatsy are some of my fave books.
Sam, I really think you would like The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin. I finished it a few days ago and OMFG. I wouldn't consider the romance in it angsty, but I feel like it does fall a little on the spectrum of Hades + Persephone, which I know you love. Dark Immortals who have hearts of gold are totally my favorite archetype and I feel that this book covered it with more insight and intimacy than in any other story I've read. Nahadoth instantly became my #1 Literary Crush of All Time, and the romance is everything I wanted but didn't completely get from Uprooted, ACOMAF, Shadow + Bone, etc. Beyond the romance, the cosmology and mythos in the book is so enchanting. Plus, the protagonist is a total badass. I can't stop thinking about the book, and keep going back to it to reread passages. SO beautiful!!!!
I love when the female character is so badass he doesn't know what to do with his life. AKA (Iz and Adeuan from Truthwitch) I LOVE THEM SO MUCH I CANT WAIT FOR THE THIRD BOOK.
JULIETTE AND WARNER (shatter me) KAROU AND AKIVA (daughter of smoke & bone) FEYRE AND RHYSAND (a court of thorns & roses) also, i kIND OF SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THIS BECAUSE !!SAME!! IM SOOO HAPPY I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE WITH SIMILAR OTP TASTES IDEKMXKD (taste sounds weird lol)
Angst means fear in German. In English, it means an intense feeling of inner turmoil. So, in a nutshell, books with a lot of internal dramz. I love angst (my OTPFF is angsty lol) but I really try to stay away from problematic relationships and I like being rewarded with a satisfying relationship development in my lit.
I loved your disclaimer lol. I don't like fluff either. I only like, controlled, sweetness at the very end when the couple is together like in CK. Angsty romances are the best
I just found your channel, i've enjoyed the few videos I've watched. They all sound so interesting. I've added Truthwitch and The Wrath and The Dawn to my TBR.
Have you seen/read any adaptations of Much Ado About Nothing? Beatrice and Benedick are one of my all-time favourite romances because they start out hating each other's guts and contstantly sassing the shit out of each other (especially Beatrice) and it's not super angsty, because it is a comedy (the cirumstances get pretty angsty but it's more like a belligerent sexual tension kind of thing) but it's just so funny and so satisfying when they start to warm up to one another.
Kaz and Inej's relationship is the most realistic to me and even though it's months after I've read this series, I still can't stop imagining Rami Malek as Kaz when he's cutting that X on the boat. Ahhhh...his crazy eyes is perfect for Kaz.
Oh, so many of these are my favourites too *.* The one I will add is Anne and Wentworth from Persuasion. Oh, those two have my heart grapped into the pages
Your last disclaimer is something I wish I could just tell everyone on tumblr. You made me really really want to read Shatter Me and The Winner's Trilogy now haha my favourite angsty romance at the moment is Tiger Lily and Peter from Tiger Lily
I so agree with you about The Sky Is Everywhere and I'll Give You The Sun but I haven't read the others so I can't say but I like the one between Simon and Baz in Carry On
Although I am typically a girl who likes her fluff, I completely agree with KazxInej, Sky is Everywhere, I'll Give you the Sun and AristotlexDante. My feelings for Kaz and Inej and are too strong sometimes
Hi Sam! I am not going to watch the video because I have checked the books and I haven't finished them or because I want to read them (if I, at some point, finish my endless TBR hehehe) but I love the idea and the tone of it! Well done, Sam!
I thought going into wuthering heights that i wouldnt enjoy it, but i found heathcliffes antics surprisingly hilarious. I love Kate Beatons comics on it, and they are spot on for the way i read it, and i did really like cathy and hareton at the end.
So you like angsty romance huh? Ahhaa I love the title of your video. I haven't read wuthering heights in a few years but I need a reread. I miss Joseph too much, he was the entertainment at times.
This may be spoiler for some but my favorite by far is Fire and Brigan from Fire by Kristin Cashore, so beautiful yet so painful! I love it and have to re-read it nearly every year.
Wuthering Heights is my favorite classic...whole lot of loving the f*cked up! My fave angsty couple is Chess and Terrible from Stacia Kane's Downside series...it will make you want to hang out in a tunnel in hopes of a broody enforcer stumbling along. And there are ghosts and witches magic and stuffs. The heroine is a drug addict, which throws people, but it was nice to read about a deeply flawed character.
The Daughter Of Smoke And Bone trilogy annoyed me sooo much!!! The first book had everything going for it. But I really didn't enjoy books 2 and 3. And for someone who LOVES romance, it was hard for me to get through the second and third books. My favourite angsty romances are: Diana and Matthew from The All Souls Trilogy, Feyre and Rhys from ACOMAF and Cinder and Kai from The Lunar Chronicles.
Elisa and Hector are one of my favourites too! I loved Kestrel and Arin as well. The angst in The Winner's Crime was killing me. Also, since you love hate-to-love romances - and of course I love them too! - you could check out Blood for Blood trilogy by Catherine Doyle. There is such a delicious hate to love romance which doesn't really start until later on in the series. ❤
ok, omg GURL! Your eyes in this video are.... I dont even know how to complement them accurately. They are absolutely beautiful! I love that eyeshadow and the way it complements your eye colour. What would you say your eye colour is btw? They look grey on my screen. Anyway, about the actual video lol. I cannot agree with you more about Akiva and Karou!! I am still so sensitive about them. I still need to read Truth Witch and Shatter Me but I dont know which one to reach for first!
Pretty much anything Jane Austen. Totally agree with Inej and Kaz!! They were amazing. And Wuthering Heights too! What do you think about Laurent and Damen from Captive Prince? I expected you to include them, due to the immense amount of hurdles in the way of their enemies-to-friends-to lovers thing.
The Hating Game is a great angsty romance. Also love Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights. But my favorite push and pull, do they love each other or do they hate each other romance is Pride and Prejudice. ❤️❤️❤️
Hey! i adore your video's. If i may make a suggestion for a future video: name the books you are going to talk about in the intro so we know what books are included with the spoilers. i can see why you don't do this on the other hand but it is atleast something to think about if you want to. btw i love the angsty romance. it's fabulous.
Thank you! Everyone has a different definition of a spoiler, and I can't make changes to my videos to accommodate every unique definition. It is up to each individual viewer to curate what they watch based on their own needs. I'm so glad you enjoy my videos and thank you for actively contributing :)
I like angst. Thx for the new books that will end up on my TBR pile. And OMG IGNITE ME!!! Lol. If you finished Daughter of Smoke and Bone series...you'll get it. Omg, it was crazy. Wuthering Heights: the most flawed main characters I've ever read. I mean, I hated and loved them at the same time. How you feel about Winner's is how i felt about Atonement. That book KILLED ME. Then i saw the movie and i died all over. I can never read the book or watch the movie ever again...even though i own both.
"My favorite trope is when the female character is so badass he doesn't even know what to do with his life." - Petition for this to be the actual trope name.
I know right, it's cool, I want it 🙂
Omg I love this never read a book with this. Please give me some book titles
@@JadeFergieB This is like one of my favorite tropes lmao. Recent ones that spring to mind,
Poppy War by R.F Kuang
Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Morena Garcia (and Mexican Gothic!!)
A Song of Wraiths And Ruin by Roseanne A Brown
Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
Crier's War by Nina Varela (this is like a gay version of this its amazing)
The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi
The Fifth season by Nk Jemisin (the biggest offender on this list. though the romance aspect is a very small portion)
Soo...Kaz/Inej
"I will have you without your armor, Kaz Brecker, or I won't have you at all."
*dies*
Kaz/Inej is the air I breathe
Kaz isn't a good person, but that doesn't stop me from loving him like crazy.
Ah, angsty romance, what's not to love? My favorites include: Scarlett and Rhett in Gone With the Wind and Jane Eyre and Rochester.
Britta Böhler ahhh. Jane and Rochester give me super feels. ❤
YES BOTH OF THESE YES
Britta Böhler Jane and Rochester are so classic angsty
its funny cause i just order a copy of jane eyre one of my favorite classics
Scarlett and Rhett are my all time favourite angsty couple! Jane Eyre is my favourite classic of all time. This is the perfect comment haha :)
i was fangirling with you on Uprooted. like when Dragon made the rose and her understanding and cupped her palms with his and they both made a forest of flowers with their magic combined? love that scene and love them together
Stormy Reads yes yes that's exactly the scene I was thinking of
Stormy Reads I'm pretty sure I made the weirdest noise when they did that because I was just like YES omg
my favourite ships are slow burn romances that started out as angst bc they like to pretend they hate each other and they both think the other doesn't like them bUT THEN THEY REALISE AND ITS ALL FLUFFY AND HAPPY EVEN THO THERES STILL SOME UNRELYING SADNESS ITS SO SPECIFIC BUT ITS MY FAVOURITE.
my favourite ship is kanej i love them so much. like when kaz says "i protect my investments" UH DONT YOU MEAN YOU PROTECT THE LOVE OFBYOUR LIFE. AND WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT HER LAUGH AND WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT HER SMILE ND THE FAMOUS I WOULD HVE COME FOR YOU LINE AAAAH I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS.
Agnieszka and Dragon making magic was honestly the hottest part of the book, even when you include their love scenes. Their tension and power is intoxicating.
exactly!
Heathcliff and Cathy are the definition of Extra™. I'm so glad you included them.
Maggie Boccella they are the MOST
Yesss Kaz and Inej and Magnus and Cleo! I love the slow burning and enemies to lover tropes with Magnus and Cleo!
Kaz and Inej are my heart
I love you for including Wuthering Heights in here :) the Tom Hardy adaptation is the only one that does the book justice
I was writing a comment about how the Uprooted romance was my fav of this list; then you brought up Six of Crows and I just fell over under the weight of my fangirling feelings!!!
I didn't even know what angst meant before this video but now I've realised that I love angsty romance :) I'll definitely pick up the books you mentioned that I haven't read yet!
Angsty romance automatically brings Buffy/Angel and Buffy/Spike... I love angsty, broody romance/love. Fluff is nice, but only once in a while. BRING ON THE ANGST!
Kassandra Koller I'm convinced my love of angst is because of my obsession with Buffy in my formative years lol
Thoughts on Tomes SAME
Thoughts on Tomes Kaz and Inej are the definition of an angsty romance.
It's so angsty that it kills you
Kassandra Koller yo
Kassandra Koller OMG i LOVE Buffy and Spike they own my soul and invented vamp/human angst
I can listen to you talk about angst and romance all day!!
Sara Djaroud 💜💜💜
Reading "Truthwitch" rn because of your videos, and I didn't even fast forward the "spoilers" because I am 100% THERE WITH YOU
The ships in Six of Crows are such a beautiful bundle of angst like it hurts me. And I also have Jasper & Wylan to provide all the fluff I need.
Just...EVERYTHING ABOUT ALL THE COUPLES IN SIX IR CROWS IS BEAUTIFUL
I was literally just waiting for you to mention Iseult and Aeduan in this list and then you did and I squealed. They're just such great otp material.
OMG woman, every time you say you have only read the first book of Daughter of Smoke and Bone, it kills me! Because as much as I LOVE the first book, the next two just get better and BETTER! ok =) I really need you to read and I want to listen to you gush
Angsty romance, when done correctly, is my absolute fave!! I absolutely loved every single couple you picked. I am such a sucker for broody relationships. Jane Eyre is such a great one too, and Crown Duel!
Uprooted is one of my favorite books of all time!! Thanks for including it. New to your channel and you and I seem to have similar tastes so I'm glad I found you!
Does the court of mist and fury (ACOMAF) counts? The feels that I got from this book! I can't wait for the next book to come out this may 😊
Fateha Razak definitely! I can't believe I forgot that one.
FEYRE AND RHYSSSSSS
I'm a drama queen, so I love a good angsty romance! But after a while I'm just like "please be together and happy..."
Princess21288 oh same. There is such a thing as too slow burn.
When I so the title of your video, I instantly thought of Jace and Clary from The Mortal Instruments... I also love angsty relatonships
even before I read Wuthering heights I saw the Tom Hardy version without knowing what it was on tv late at night and then I had to haunt to find the book because the names had been translated to the language we were watching and I never got to see the end. Can't believe you mentioned it, it made me so happy! Wuthering Heights is now one of my favourite books :)
I'm so happy that you included Wuthering Heights. I think their passion was out of this world it's a complex novel! XoXo
Oh my goodness gracious, Sydney and Ridge slayed my soul. Those two broke my heart, in the best way possible.
Jules and Emma from Lady Midnight combine everything I love about friends-to-lovers with everything I love about angst and I think I had like 15 heart attacks while reading that book.
Noah from I'll Give you the sun is one of my favorite chatcters of all time. I love him so much!
My faves are definitely Ari and Dante, Kaz and Inej and Achilles and Patroclus. I also really like Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, Shazi and Khalid and Rhys and Feyre.
Yes Elizabeth and Darcy are great!
Where are shazi and khalid from?
Ok jk just got to the end hehe
You are by far one of the most honest booktubers I have watched and I like you so much because of that! ❤
I'm surprised a court of mist and fury didn't make the list!! That had a major angsty relationship in my opinion!
so many people mentioned this and I had so many books to talk about that I left a few out accidentally :)
I loved this video so much, this theme is basically what cemented our friendship way way back haha. I already said this on Twitter, but the day someone includes my future novel in something like this, I will be so emotional hahaha.
Having a bad night so I’m watching your videos
They’re comforting to me
Yeah idk y but thank you
aw I hope your night got better and I hope the videos were a good distraction!
Did you watch Rogue One: A Star Wars Story? I think Jyn and Cassian are the angstiest of the angstiest and they also make me make weird noises haha!
Nadhilla Melia agreee. glad i'm not the only one haha I shipped the hell out of it
Does it count as a slow burn if it hasn't really happened but TOTALLY would have... *cough* Draco and Hermione 😋😘
Melissa Serenity haha I specifically only included canon couples here. But they definitely fall in the non canon angsty category.
"I liked it... My video... I do what I want..." YES! This is why I watch your videos :)
Lisa Johanna 😊
YES my favorite topic. I, of course, loved many of these that you mentioned but another that comes to mind is Margaret and John in North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell. Miniseries is great too!
Angsty romance ... where the payoff factor is 10,000 times more powerful than fluff. Ugh. The feels, so many feels!
Such a good list! A few I'm not familiar with, but most I am and love. So much. I would add to those - Ronan and Adam from the Raven Boys, Feyre and Rhysand from ACOMAF, Jane and Leo from the Jane Yellowrock books, and my guilty pleasure-Sydney and Adrian from Bloodlines. I love a good angsty romance, especially when the dialogue and payoff is good.
(Also, I've seen you mention Uprooted a few times now and I'm going to have to read that soon.)
YESSSS to Truthwitch. I've never really been into Hate to Love but this book sold me on that trope. So so good.
Angsty romances are the best thing in the world. I just read The Wrath and the Dawn Duology and almost died because Shazi and Khalid are my babies now. Feysand will forever be my main OTP because they are absolutely wonderful. Many people will disagree with me about this one, but Rowaelin also gives me alot of feelings. Wessa and Jemma from the Shadowhunter Chronicles. Bella and Edward forever (I know there are some problematic things but I freaking love them). For movies: Jack and Rose (Titanic) and Pocahontas and John Smith. ❤
Oh my gosh. I finished Daughter of Smoke and Bone this morning....and everything she said is so true.
:)
The most angsty series I have read that actually gave me physical pain was the clockwork series. You might not be a fan of the shadowhunters world but I can guarantee you'll love it
Ugh, angsty fanfics get me all the time. Also your eyeshadow is on point :)
Loved this video! 100% agree with you about "I'll Give You The Sun". I finished that book a few weeks ago and I'm still not over it. Although I didn't like the writing all that much, the plot and the characters really got to me.

that's the best way to describe it :)
Come on Rhys and Feyre
You're so pretty! Loved the lipstick, I always check what are you wearing everytime I watch your video, haha. Aaaahhhh loved angsty romance in books! Hate instalove!
For me, angst is all about the longing, the ache- la doleur exquise. It's the tension, the will they won't they. Stories about second chance do this very well, I think. It's why Persuasion and The Great Gatsy are some of my fave books.

I saw this title and my first thought was no way is there going to be 5 in here... 😂 I'm so ready for this vid.
Ps you NEED to read the rest of the books in the series of daughter of smoke and bone...oh the angst to come...
Feyre & Rhysand didn't make the cut!? I was waiting for you to mention them the whole video, haha!
AyameObsessed a few people have mentioned them and I honestly just forgot them tbh since I had so many books to get through!
I love when the female character is so badass he doesn't know what to do with his life. AKA (Iz and Adeuan from Truthwitch) I LOVE THEM SO MUCH I CANT WAIT FOR THE THIRD BOOK.
JULIETTE AND WARNER (shatter me)
KAROU AND AKIVA (daughter of smoke & bone)
FEYRE AND RHYSAND (a court of thorns & roses)
also, i kIND OF SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THIS BECAUSE !!SAME!! IM SOOO HAPPY I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE WITH SIMILAR OTP TASTES IDEKMXKD (taste sounds weird lol)
Angst means fear in German. In English, it means an intense feeling of inner turmoil. So, in a nutshell, books with a lot of internal dramz.
I love angst (my OTPFF is angsty lol) but I really try to stay away from problematic relationships and I like being rewarded with a satisfying relationship development in my lit.
Nina and Matthiass
(I said Matthiass because he was an ass in the first book and I loved it 😂)
I loved this video! Angsty romances are my favorite books ever. I devoured the Wrath and the Dawn duology it was sooooo fantastic!!
I've been in a two month long reading slump and this video really makes me want to pick up an angsty book again!! The problem now is which one...
I loved your disclaimer lol. I don't like fluff either. I only like, controlled, sweetness at the very end when the couple is together like in CK. Angsty romances are the best
ahh daughter of smoke and bone broke my heart so hard, I mean the ending of the first book was so sad 😢😢
Your attitude is amazing I love it! Instant subscribe
welcome :)
I just found your channel, i've enjoyed the few videos I've watched. They all sound so interesting. I've added Truthwitch and The Wrath and The Dawn to my TBR.
I read truthwitch because of your videos and I was not ready for how much I'm shipping Iseult and Aeduan
yesssssss
Have you seen/read any adaptations of Much Ado About Nothing? Beatrice and Benedick are one of my all-time favourite romances because they start out hating each other's guts and contstantly sassing the shit out of each other (especially Beatrice) and it's not super angsty, because it is a comedy (the cirumstances get pretty angsty but it's more like a belligerent sexual tension kind of thing) but it's just so funny and so satisfying when they start to warm up to one another.
Kaz and Inej's relationship is the most realistic to me and even though it's months after I've read this series, I still can't stop imagining Rami Malek as Kaz when he's cutting that X on the boat. Ahhhh...his crazy eyes is perfect for Kaz.
Oh, so many of these are my favourites too *.* The one I will add is Anne and Wentworth from Persuasion. Oh, those two have my heart grapped into the pages
OMG I love Warner and Juliette! Honestly them and Will and Tessa(TID) are the most angsty romances I've ever read!
Lily Guriel Wessa is literally the most angsty romance out there
Oh My Ikr!! It's great!
So great. I also like Jessa but I don't find it angsty , romances with nice boys is never angsty at least for me
Oh My I agree
Lily Guriel I think I found my second soulmate (which is you) you're the second because Will flipping herondale is the first.
Your last disclaimer is something I wish I could just tell everyone on tumblr. You made me really really want to read Shatter Me and The Winner's Trilogy now haha my favourite angsty romance at the moment is Tiger Lily and Peter from Tiger Lily
AllMiniLeeches I actually have a post on Tumblr that says exactly that 😂
Imma definitely reblog it!
I so agree with you about The Sky Is Everywhere and I'll Give You The Sun but I haven't read the others so I can't say but I like the one between Simon and Baz in Carry On
Favorite video!! Thank you for this! Angsty romance is the best!
Although I am typically a girl who likes her fluff, I completely agree with KazxInej, Sky is Everywhere, I'll Give you the Sun and AristotlexDante. My feelings for Kaz and Inej and are too strong sometimes
So glad I found your channel again! Great video!
thank you :)
Hi Sam!
I am not going to watch the video because I have checked the books and I haven't finished them or because I want to read them (if I, at some point, finish my endless TBR hehehe) but I love the idea and the tone of it!
Well done, Sam!
I thought going into wuthering heights that i wouldnt enjoy it, but i found heathcliffes antics surprisingly hilarious. I love Kate Beatons comics on it, and they are spot on for the way i read it, and i did really like cathy and hareton at the end.
You're so naturally hilarious 😂! Great recommendations, I just downloaded 5 of them on my nook, awesome video
Thank you :) Hope you enjoy!
So you like angsty romance huh? Ahhaa I love the title of your video. I haven't read wuthering heights in a few years but I need a reread. I miss Joseph too much, he was the entertainment at times.
my personal all-time favorite is "October & Tybalt" from the October Daye series
This may be spoiler for some but my favorite by far is Fire and Brigan from Fire by Kristin Cashore, so beautiful yet so painful! I love it and have to re-read it nearly every year.
Wuthering Heights is my favorite classic...whole lot of loving the f*cked up! My fave angsty couple is Chess and Terrible from Stacia Kane's Downside series...it will make you want to hang out in a tunnel in hopes of a broody enforcer stumbling along. And there are ghosts and witches magic and stuffs. The heroine is a drug addict, which throws people, but it was nice to read about a deeply flawed character.
Heathcliff and Cathy give me so many feelings, SO MANY
From Much Ado About Nothing Shakespeare Beatrice and Benedick I am way too obsessed with these two
The magic scenes in Uprooted were ridiculously sexy given that no sexy stuff was actually happening. I'm kind of in the mood to re-read that book...
The Daughter Of Smoke And Bone trilogy annoyed me sooo much!!! The first book had everything going for it. But I really didn't enjoy books 2 and 3. And for someone who LOVES romance, it was hard for me to get through the second and third books. My favourite angsty romances are: Diana and Matthew from The All Souls Trilogy, Feyre and Rhys from ACOMAF and Cinder and Kai from The Lunar Chronicles.
I live for the angst but I love them to be fluffy (sometimes) later 😭
Elisa and Hector are one of my favourites too! I loved Kestrel and Arin as well. The angst in The Winner's Crime was killing me.
Also, since you love hate-to-love romances - and of course I love them too! - you could check out Blood for Blood trilogy by Catherine Doyle. There is such a delicious hate to love romance which doesn't really start until later on in the series. ❤
Sooo excited about this video! Thanks Sam!
ok, omg GURL! Your eyes in this video are.... I dont even know how to complement them accurately. They are absolutely beautiful! I love that eyeshadow and the way it complements your eye colour. What would you say your eye colour is btw? They look grey on my screen. Anyway, about the actual video lol. I cannot agree with you more about Akiva and Karou!! I am still so sensitive about them. I still need to read Truth Witch and Shatter Me but I dont know which one to reach for first!
Pretty much anything Jane Austen.
Totally agree with Inej and Kaz!! They were amazing. And Wuthering Heights too!
What do you think about Laurent and Damen from Captive Prince? I expected you to include them, due to the immense amount of hurdles in the way of their enemies-to-friends-to lovers thing.
Dude, her bookshelf is goals
thank you :)
The Hating Game is a great angsty romance. Also love Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights. But my favorite push and pull, do they love each other or do they hate each other romance is Pride and Prejudice. ❤️❤️❤️
tia and all the books I was also thinking Pride and Prejudice and just about all of Jane Austen's books. There's a bit of angst in them all. ☺️
Yes this is my kind of video- I just realized because of this that majority of my favourite OTPs are angsty romances.
I love that trope. I cant believe that she said Adeuan and Iz from Truth witch
Hey! i adore your video's. If i may make a suggestion for a future video: name the books you are going to talk about in the intro so we know what books are included with the spoilers. i can see why you don't do this on the other hand but it is atleast something to think about if you want to. btw i love the angsty romance. it's fabulous.
Thank you! Everyone has a different definition of a spoiler, and I can't make changes to my videos to accommodate every unique definition. It is up to each individual viewer to curate what they watch based on their own needs. I'm so glad you enjoy my videos and thank you for actively contributing :)
I like angst. Thx for the new books that will end up on my TBR pile. And OMG IGNITE ME!!! Lol.
If you finished Daughter of Smoke and Bone series...you'll get it. Omg, it was crazy.
Wuthering Heights: the most flawed main characters I've ever read. I mean, I hated and loved them at the same time.
How you feel about Winner's is how i felt about Atonement. That book KILLED ME. Then i saw the movie and i died all over. I can never read the book or watch the movie ever again...even though i own both.
Thanks for this video you just gave me a good TBR list
I'm going to read all of these. Thank you!
I honestly love your vibe
When I read angsty romances in my head I'm like Sam would be digging this rn. Should I stop watching booktube yet LOL.
I have Truth Witch on my shelf.... you might have just motivated me to finally pick it up.....
YES! Crown of Embers is everything.
Also, yes Falling Kingdoms popped into my mind as soon as I saw the title of this video lol!
