Quick Description

  • Romance books are full of tropes, or familiar thematic ideas, such as star-crossed lovers or grumpy/sunshine.

  • How are tropes related to one another? This thesaurus lists various romance book sub-genres and tropes, creating relationships between them with BT (broader term) and NT (narrower term).

  • Below the thesaurus is an example of how these terms would apply to two (very different) pieces of romantic literature, Romeo and Juliet and The Hating Game.

  • Romance readers who are looking for their next book would find this thesaurus fairly helpful. In fact, some romance book blogs use these terms to help readers find reviews based on the type of trope that they are interested in.
