If You Liked This Popular TikTok Book Read This One…

If You Liked This Popular TikTok Book Read This One…

March 24, 2022 Posted by angelreads Recommendations, Romance Recs No Comments

I thought I would have a little fun today and share some books that I want more people to read but with a twist. Today I share recommendations for books to read from popular Tiktok books.

Sometimes you see books over and over again in videos and recommendations. And while I think that is fantastic and I love seeing people read books that I have really enjoyed. I thought it would be fun to share books that I don’t see recommended often. Or they just aren’t as popular.

Some of the books I’m mentioned are newer books, some are older. I also tried to mix up the recommendations from sports romances, to dark romances to fantasy and more. 

I do want to quickly mention, that the for you page on tiktok is bad differently for each person so while I may see more of one book, you may see another. Anyway, let’s go. As always these are in no order. 

If you liked The Deal by Elle Kennedy, then you will like The Year We Fell Down by Sarina Bowen

I know that these two authors are co-authors of quite a few books. And the blogging community loves Sarina Bowen. But It’s rare that I see any love for Sarina Bowen over on Tiktok. But if you love The Off-Campus series from Elle Kennedy, you will love The Ivy Years by Sarina Bowen. This series is absolutely fantastic, and if not better than Elle Kennedy’s. 

If you like Neon Gods by Katee Robert, you will like Drag Me Up by R.M. Virtues

You all know that I adore Katee Robert and her Dark Olympus series. But if you loved that or want to try something new in Greek Mythology retellings. Then you need to read Drag Me Up by R.M. Virtues. I’ve just read the first book in their series but I am hanging to read the rest and I cannot wait. It’s on that similar darkest leave and smutty as hell. I love seeing what different people do with retellings and the world that R.M Virtues has created is so fascinating. 

Did you like it ends with us by Colleen Hoover? then you will love the Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros

While the themes of these books don’t match up exactly. You will feel the same at the end. If you liked reading It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover, then you need to read The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros. You will be left broken and hurt by The Last Letter, but it is hands down till this day one of my favourite books. I cannot explain how much I sobbed in this one. Both books deal with a lot of hard issues that make you really think about things. 

I know there are a lot of people out there that have read and loved From Lukov with Love by Mariana Zapata including me. Then you should try Crossing the Ice (Ice #1) by Jennifer Comeaux. While this isn’t as smutty as some of the books on this list. I loved it so much. It’s quite a few years old now, but whenever the Winter Olympics come around I want to read it. It’s a new adult sports romance that just hits all the right spots. 

And there we go. Those are the books that I would recommend if you like these particular popular books on Tiktok.  Have you read any of these books? Are you planning on reading them? What are some popular books on Tiktok that you want to read a book that is similar? Let’s Chat!

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?
