If you spend a lot of time with this infamous bird app, you know that despite its flaws, you can count for a good laugh on Twitter. I remember crying and laughing when Black Twitter made fun of the idea that the COVID vaccine would prevent black people from developing superpowers.
Likewise, Book Twitter has its share of true gems. Earlier this summer, literal users explained why they would delete their dating apps. The trend was to say you’d rather meet someone the old-fashioned way (insert a hilarious romance anecdote). (My personal favorite was “he loves me dearly, I could never be persuaded to marry him.”)
Well, friends, Twitter is back. This time around, users share what they learned from romance novels. Have fun laughing at this compilation of the top tweets, while you may also get some great book recommendations.
If romance books taught me anything
Most of these tweets are quoting others so you can get a 2 for 1 laugh! For example, you know what happens when you start dating a man AND how that man will smell.

Of course, if you end up traveling with a potential love interest, you need to be prepared for the inevitable. Also, be careful when taking on new jobs. Otherwise, you could end up in Slippery Creatures by KJ Charles.
If romance has taught me anything, it is that there is more than one way to go on a bumpy carriage ride.

Are you anywhere near a potential love interest in winter? You’d better check your weather app.
If romance has taught me anything, it’s that if I ever get snowed in somewhere single as a single, I shouldn’t worry, as I’ll be trapped with one gruff, emotionally wounded man who I’ll end up marrying. https://t.co/PnoeyLcxsj

Do you have a rich relative? Well, they definitely have ulterior motives when they leave you your property.
If romance taught me anything, if a great-aunt leaves you a house in a small town, the neighbor next door will be a beautiful handyman who happens to fix the gutters if you lock yourself out.

And if we could only go back to Regency England, we would surely be well married.
If romance has taught me anything, it is that there were thousands of good-looking young nobles in Regency England, and 75% of them were without a woman for too long when they met the heroine. (The other 25% are in bed with a woman who is not the heroine on page 1.) https://t.co/uVC5Qykjmj

When you look them in the eye, when they put your hair behind your ear, watch out!

Be careful though. These lovers don’t need close proximity to woo you.

These crossed arms will have sleeves rolled up.

Don’t worry if nobles, rugged small town dudes, or people who are mutually beneficial to fake dating don’t suit your taste. Here’s one for fans of Twilight and other books about the hot and the undead.

Just because you aren’t looking for love doesn’t mean it won’t find you.
