We haven't come up with a succinct way to summarise this trope, it's basically 'character is injured/ sick and other character takes care of them trope' - this is distinctly different from the 'who hurt you trope', it is very specifically about books where a character is cared for by another, usually the love interest.
Disappointingly for us, but good news for you, this actually turned out to be a really good list! We definitely added a bunch of stuff to our TBR's

So if the title hasn't given it away, in today's episode Tali and Toni have come prepared with 5 love interests each from popular books.
Which we're going to rate each one from 1-5 on how unhinged they are, using a measurement of how fast you would tell your friend to run away in real life. How much of a cinnamon roll they are from 1-5. Finishing with their 'daddy' level (in a fictional universe only because fictional men can be walking red flags).
The whole thing is just as unhinged as it sounds... but was really funny.
The love interests we talk about today are:
Rhysand (ACOTAR series)Kaz Brekker (Six of Crows)Wrath (Kingdom of the Wicked)Jace (The Mortal Instruments)Peta Malark (The Hunger Games)Lucien (ACOTAR series)The Bargainer (Rhapsodic)Gabe (The Bonds That Tie)Edward Cullen (Twilight)Amy Dunne (Gone Girl)Connect with us:
