Hello everyone! Welcome to Nox Reads, I'm "Nox", and today's prompt for Top 5 Wednesday is Love Interests I Would've Broken Up With, which means that I get to rant about how much I hate these characters and relationships! This is going to be fun...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. The Darkling from the Shadow and Bone trilogy by Leigh Bardugo
I'm in a group chat (shoutout to Nik Nak is a Snik Snak) where everyone is doing a Grishaverse buddy read (some of us are starting King of Scars today), and there are a lot of moments where I open the chat to see everyone fawning over the Darkling, but I just don't get it! The Darkling is manipulative, and the few interactions that he does have with Alina (before everything goes sideways) just move too fast. Sorry Darkling, but I am not the Sun Summoner you're looking for.
2. Edward Cullen from the Twilight saga by Stephanie Meyer
I. HATE. THE. TWILIGHT. SAGA. SO. MUCH.
I read the first book (and, unable to continue, I listened to someone sarcastically read the rest of the books) and I honestly don't remember a time where I actually liked Edward. He just seemed creepy, especially considering the fact that he would break into her room at night to watch her sleep. This was before they were even dating! It's not love, it's creepy. Not a chance, Edward- watch me sleep and I'll stab you with the stake under my pillow.
3. Romeo from Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
We don't have enough time for me to cover how much I hate Romeo and Juliet. The point is that one should never compare their relationship to Romeo and Juliet's. Everything happened over three days, okay? They met on the first, got married on the second, and died on the third. And right before they met, Romeo was swearing that he was in love with Juliet's cousin, Rosaline. There are several other issues, but I have to post this eventually.
4. Four from the Divergent trilogy by Veronica Roth
I don't really have an explanation for this other than I didn't really like Four.
5. Thomas Cresswell from the Stalking Jack the Ripper series
Okay, so before I explain why PLEASE DO NOT SPOIL ESCAPING FROM HOUDINI FOR ME. I'm going to finish it hopefully sometime this week, but PLEASE DO NOT SPOIL IT.
It isn't so much that I don't like Thomas Cresswell, it's more of the fact that I would've dropped him before giving him a chance. I hated him until Hunting Prince Dracula, but by then it would have been too late for us.

Thank you for reading! Please let me know down in the comments which fictional character you would have broken up with!
Have a great day!
