Hi all,
I'm outlining a story in which the couple deal with an accidental pregnancy, which then ends tragically in miscarriage. Does anyone have suggestions for similar books where an accidental pregnancy in a romance did NOT result in the cliche/ trope of "we're now one big happy family/ this was the best thing that ever happened to us"? I think I'm just annoyed by how pregnancy is ALWAYS treated as the BEST THING EVER in the romance genre, and miscarriage hardly ever happens, and God forbid the "A word" is even mentioned. I get that it's supposed to be fantasy, but after a while, it gets really trite. Okay, sorry for the rant, but feedback and suggestions are welcome.
