As for the results of my Twitter poll today, we are going to be talking about Grumpy versus Sunshine Book Racks. This is actually a trope that I really love. I just find it kind of delightful in every way and I'm really excited that you guys voted for this one because I haven't made a video for this trope ever and I have some good racks and I'm excited to share them with you. Even if this is like the world's number one grumpy sunshine book, I could not make a video in good conscience on this trope and not mention the wall of Winnipeg and me by Mariana Zapata. I just think this is like the perfect embodiment of grumpy sunshine. Like it's just so good. This book follows a girl who works as an assistant to this athlete and he's obviously like the grumpy one. He's super broody and just kind of closed off. It doesn't talk to her a lot. It doesn't really communicate with her unless it's for work things and she's just kind of this like bubbly fun girl who's like why am I even here? I don't like on being treated. I feel like this is not the job for me and she ends up quitting the job. Long story short, something ends up happening that brings them back together and I don't want to spoil it because it's kind of fun if you just read it and not know. But I absolutely love this book. It's definitely like the slowest of all burns. Like it's super long book and it's just extremely, extremely slow burn. So you have to really be in for the ride if you want to read this one. But I think that it is so wonderful and I absolutely love the writing. I love the story and the character's just embody grumpy sunshine like no other. Next book on my list is lyrics of a small town by Abby Glines. I feel like not enough people have read this book and it's one of her newer releases. This book follows a girl who ends up moving into her grandmother's house after her grandmother passes away. It leaves a list of things that she would like for her granddaughter to do and kind of loose ends to tie up. She has like such a positive approach to this even though it's obviously like super sad. She's obviously mourning a loved one. Basically one of the tasks on the list ends up linking her to this guy in the town and he's just like your typical broody bad boy. If you haven't read the book like you know this man like you literally would recognize this man. He's just like typical bad boy amazing. I really really loved him but he obviously has like a super soft side but super super grumpy sunshine. I just feel like he is constantly like the negative one and she's the positive one but it's like okay because together they're just like equal and it's like perfect. So I really love this one and the second book in this series just came out and I'm about to read it. So I'm excited for that. You should check out the first book if you haven't yet and then jump on the second one with me. Linemates and study dates by Eden Finley a part of the CU hockey series. This book was so fun. I've talked about it on my channel before. It's about a hockey player and then a boy who is the son of the hockey coach who is working with the team kind of as like an equipment manager for the for the semester. The hockey player has just a really negative view on life granted. He has been dealt a horrible hand of cards like his life has just been in shambles and it's really not because of him. There's just been so much chaos happening in his personal life so he's kind of having this broody negative attitude. Meanwhile the coach's son is kind of like there to lighten up the mood and they end up becoming friends. The coach wants him to kind of look after the hockey player because he's just kind of known to be a little bit irrational little short tempered. So he ends up kind of becoming friends with him so that he can keep a close eye on him but they don't expect to light each other. It's so good. I love this whole series you guys know but this one was like one of my favorites and it's so grumpy sunshine is so good. Next is Park Avenue Player by Vikeelin and Penelope Ward. I feel like so many Vikeelin and Penelope Ward books could be classified as grumpy sunshine. They just write a lot of similar characters. This book in particular though I picked because I feel like I don't talk about it that much and it did have a pretty like crazy plot twist so I feel like you guys will like that but it follows a girl who ends up applying for this job to be a nanny and her and the man that she would be working for have like a horrible first interaction but he ends up giving her the job anyways after she like begs and pleads and so they kind of have this like enemies to lovers grumpy sunshine vibe and then like I said it kind of has like a crazy little twist in turn at the end so I feel like that's the typical Penelope and Vi combo like it's always like really like good juicy enemies to lovers moment tied together with a plot twist. I however have zero complaints I will read every single book they put out but if you haven't read this one I would recommend it I think it really embodies the trope pretty well. Next is Madison Man by Safron Kent. I love Safron Kent's books they're always just like so extremely addictive. This one follows a girl who is in a mental hospital and she falls for her psychiatrist. Every time I go with this book I'm like somebody is going to be mad at me like this book. I don't know something about it feels like extremely wrong but but I cannot help but I love this book and love this couple I'm sorry I love this couple this book is so good I absolutely love it and it's literally grumpy sunshine like to the max she's like the embodiment of sunshine even though she's going through a tough time and she's in this like mental hospital I just think that this trope is so them I feel like this trope is a lot of Safron's books as well but I really love this book if you haven't read it if you're like give it a try have an open mind I know it sounds a little bit like what but read it. Next is Three Little Mistakes by Nikki Sloan this is actually a part of a series I think this is the third book this whole series is super fun fast paced kind of like high smut level books but I really really love this book and the relationship between the two characters is just so sweet and he's like the bad boy character who was like never gonna settle down and then like he got his own book and I was like okay like yeah I'll never settle down right right so I really love this one for that reason like that's kind of like a little side trope that I love um but he's kind of like the boss of this big business at the whole book series is centered around so he's kind of the more serious a little grumpy one and she's kind of like this young fun girl who doesn't really know what she's getting herself into but they end up forming a relationship that starts off with just being like hooking up and they're not really there for anything serious but obviously feelings develop but this whole series is so fun if you're looking for something that's just like lighthearted and a little crazy look it up next book is also part of a series but totally can be read as a standalone it's called lead by Kylie Scott it's a part of the stage dive series I've talked about this book before I love this book the whole series is like a companion novel of members of this one band and so this book focuses on the lead singer who has like so many issues that his brother is like we need to assign somebody to you to literally like watch out for you kind of like to see you hockey book they're like we literally need somebody to watch over you and like help you with your shit because you actually like can't do things on your own and so this girl comes in and ends up being his assistant and it's kind of like enemies to lovers he initially is just like so fed up with the idea that this girl is gonna have to be with him 24 seven but they end up kind of forming a friendship that transitions and it's just so good I love this whole series it honestly really surprised me but this book just has to be my favorite it's so good the last book I have on my list for grumpy sunshine is real by Katie Evans this is a book that is so like OG booktube new adult to me like when I think of this book and then like beautiful disaster like easy by tomorrow we're like those like the OG new adult books you know what I mean um but I do really like it it's a little cringe it's a little cringe but I really do enjoy it it's about a fighter and he's obviously the grumpy one and he hires a full-time chiropractor to come traveling with him um so that he can have somebody throughout all of his fights and so he has this relationship with the chiropractor who's this main girl character and he's just so like angry like he's a fighter but he has so much anger inside and she's just like this sweet character who's like trying to understand him and it's just such a cute book I really did like it um it's a whole series but honestly we can just read the first one you don't have to read the whole series I didn't either um but I really really like it so guys those are all of my grumpy sunshine bookrex I hope you found something new to add to your TBR of course if you guys have recommendations for me under this trope let me know and also let me know what other tropes you want me to cover on my channel also if you're not already make sure you're following me on tic-toc I've actually been posting a lot more on there recently I've been doing like short form bookrex and I've been doing other bookish bookish videos that I'm sure you guys want to watch so definitely follow me on there same username so mon take talk follow me we're having fun over there right now um and of course all my other social media's are linked down below as well but yeah other than that I hope you guys enjoyed this video I hope you're having a fantastic day and I'll talk to you all very very soon bye
