This was such an enjoyable story. I loved the character development so much. Imagine a best-selling romance author not believing in happily-ever-afters?! That is exactly who Margot is. Once her secret is out, Margot's career spirals and her fans turn their back on her. She decides a genre change may be in order. To accomplish this, Margot's sister send s her on a 6 week stay in Alaska. The two sisters have never spent much time apart and Margot has a tough time with the separation. One of my favorite things in the story is the fact that Savannah, Margot's sister, secretively sent letters to Forrest, who helps run the family's resort. For each time Margot challenges herself, her reward is a letter from Savannah.
Now, let's talk about Forrest. Hot, sizzling mountain man with a brilliant mind to match. Forrest has a secret of his own that envelopes him in a push-pull inner conflict.
Margot and Forrest's first meeting is very up close and personal, thanks to a "friendly" moose. With an excellent mix of humor, heart, compassion and self-discovery, Any Trope But You is a delightful story that will grasp you tight within its pages. The steam and chemistry between Forrest and Margot is entrancing and delicious.

Any Trope But You is a fun, sweet romance with great chemistry and witty banter. Lavine’s writing brings heart and humor to the perfect enemies-to-lovers story.

What a debut! This stacks up nicely against my favoritess in the genre like Christina Lauren and Emily Henry. Lovable characters, a great plot with feasible ups and downs, and characters that are multi dimensional with great dialogue!

Found this one to be boring and slow paced. And honestly the main characters were meh. The FMC is unlikable and not nice to the MMC.
Interesting premise but overall didn't love the execution.

Victoria Levine did a fabulous job with this debut!! Every romance trope you ever read all wrapped into one book…. But with a sarcastic spin.

Margot is a romance writer, or at least she use to be until all of her fans turned their back on her for one huge mistake. Her sister Savannah sends her to Alaska for some inspiration, Margot is about to write her first murder mystery novel. Then she meets Forrest, the ultimate romance trope, who checks all of the romance trope boxes. Margot and Forrest are both trying to resist the inevitable for different reasons.. and they find themselves in all the wrong, but right, situations.

This book is full of witty banter, miscommunication but overall wholesome. This is definitely a romance book i would recommend. If you’re not a fan of spice, you should possibly bypass, but overall i enjoyed this one and would definitely suggest you pick this one up!

What a fun and cute concept. Lavine's debut novel is a homerun with a quick plot that sucks the reader into the story. Anyone can picture themselves in Margot's shoes- a romance reader or writer who is jaded with love and would rather see a Happily Never After. However, while the book is filled with cute romance trope moments that's what makes it amazing. Margot and Forrest have amazing chemistry and while you know that ultimately they will most likely have the classic 3rd act break up, you can't be mad because their reasons fully encompass who they are as characters. This is a great read and an instant favorite for any romance lover.

Oh my gosh I LOVED this book!!! It was so cozy and warm while set in such a desperately freezing location. Margot and Forest's sizzling chemistry was apparent from their first meeting and I was turning pages late into the night to get to their hard-won HEA. I loved the side characters and overarching themes of care and family. My absolute favorite book I've read in a long time!

Alaskan wilderness romance? Say less. I loved this book. Our main girl has a lot on per plate with her sister and a huge publication snafu, and the way she navigated it with all her big feels felt pretty relatable. I had a total crush on our main guy and overall wanted to book a trip to Alaska for weekly adventure with him!

Margot a romance novelist doesn’t believe in happy ever afters. After an unfortunate mishap, she finds herself canceled and dropped by her publisher. Her sister Savannah books her on an Alaskan getaway where Margot meets Dr. Forrest.

I absolutely loved this book. Any and all romance tropes were included in this book and it was masterful. This book had me in tears - both happy and sad.

Thank you to Victoria Lavine, Atria Books, and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is the perfect cozy winter novel to add to your TBR. After a very unforgettable live stream interview that ends with Margot getting canceled, she decides to flee to Alaska to reinvent herself. Insert cute, grumpy mountain daddy. This is where her path crosses with Forrest. Both MCs are trying to navigate through life outside of being a primary caregiver to family. This story will definitely have you laughing, swooning, and blushing.

This was the *cutest* book! I absolutely adored this story. I was worried it would be too cheesy, especially given the play off of common romance tropes, but it wasn't! I thought the way the tropes were embedded in the plot was done really well. It never felt forced or out of place. I was swooning over Margot and Forrest's relationship the entire time. I also loved the little Taylor Swift references throughout. Highly recommend!

5 stars.

The perfect romance book man in real life meets the romance author who knows all about those types of men. When Margot’s career starts to crumble in front of her eyes, Savannah, the faithful younger sister, sends her on a frigid adventure in Alaska for 6 weeks. Margot has been tasked with finding herself again, but her Happily Ever After along the way wouldn’t hurt right?

This book made me forget I was reading. I was right along side Margot the whole time, laughing at every trope and cliche she begrudgingly faced. Forrest doesn’t feel like a real person in Margot’s world and I once again was agreeing with every one of her observations of how such a perfect man is not supposed to have no flaws, or be a good person. Every character in this book wormed their way into my heart and I already cannot stop thinking about them. Margot’s career in combination with the acknowledgments at the end made me love this romance community so much more. I without a doubt recommend every romance reader picks up this book.

3.5⭐️

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC! I enjoyed having a male POV to complement the female’s. The title says it all - trope after trope after trope. It made me smile & was overall very sweet and cute.

Thank you to Atria Books & NetGalley for this e-ARC.

I wanted to like this book so bad - who doesn’t like a book set in Alaska? Unfortunately, it was chock full of cliches and the dreaded miscommunication trope that had me stopping at 67% and skimming the rest of the book to finish. I think the miscommunication trope can be done well (think of Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez) but this was the worst of the worst as far as the tropes go.

The fmc and mmc didn’t have much personality besides one or two things that made them who they were - they had no layers, no dimensions. I also didn’t understand their chemistry at all.

This book had some cute ideas - but what you actually got was the most unoriginal, cliched book you could possibly get.

Any Trope but You was really cute and a fun romance palate cleanser! The premise of a romance author trying to avoid every cliché only to find herself wrapped up in them anyway was really fun and a playful premise to the book. The chemistry between the main characters is sweet, and I found myself rooting for them despite all the tropes they end up living out. The writing is witty, with plenty of charming banter and a lighthearted tone that makes it a great feel-good read.

While I really enjoyed the book, it didn’t fully blow me away. Some of the plot points felt a little predictable, but that didn’t take away from how much fun I had with the story. Overall, it’s an easy, delightful read—perfect for anyone who loves a good romance with a sprinkle of self-aware humor.

Flannel, snow and moose! Perfect romcom set in snowy Alaska. I couldn't figure out which of the two were the sunshine and the grumpy, but the immediate chemistry between Margot and Forrest was on fire! I love the quick banter and the parallel family story that kept the book going. I couldn't put it down!

It was a good book. it was funny and entertaining and I had a good time reading it. Highly recommend this author.

THE MOST PERFECT ROMANCE NOVEL
Had every trope and not in the cheesy way
Forrest and Margot were perfectly imperfect characters
Everything they were dealing with was so real, so heartbreaking.
Every reader needs to read this - whether they believe in HEAs or not. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This book!!! Aside from being a fun, trope filled romp through remote Alaska, it’s filled with such emotional depth I often had to put it down to bask in the moment. If you like a strong female mc this is the book for you. I will definitely be rereading this one and I can’t wait for @victorialavinewrites next book ❤️
