In a small town, everyone knows everyone else's business. There are no secrets, and everyone has a history. That's what makes the friends-to-lovers romance so believable.

They know each other's strengths and weaknesses, and they love each other unconditionally.
Of course, the friends-to-lovers romance is not without its challenges.

The "That Boy" Trope
The "that boy" trope is a common feature in friends-to-lovers romances. It refers to the boy that the main character has always known, but never really seen as a potential love interest. He's the one who's always there, but she never really notices him. Until one day, she does.
The "that boy" is often the perfect guy for the main character. He's kind, funny, and supportive. He's everything she's ever wanted in a partner, but she never realized it until it was too late. Of course, there are always obstacles to overcome. The main character may be dating someone else, or she may be afraid to ruin their friendship. But in the end, she realizes that the "that boy" is the one she's meant to be with.
The "that boy" trope is a popular one for a reason. It's a relatable and heartwarming story about love, friendship, and second chances. It's a story that we all want to believe in, because it's a reminder that anything is possible.
