Shouty personJun 6

While my editor works on my next novel, I'm working on a short story. I'm trying to figure out what genre it is. The best I can come up with is rom-traum.

Two traumatised people falling in love. With funny bits.

Is rom-traum a genre? And if not, can it be?

@clacksee 'Normal People', for example?

I've just searched for it and the only one I found is a book by Sally Rooney. StoryGraph says it's sad and literary. Which is kind of the opposite vibe of what I'm after. Unless I've found the wrong book?

@clacksee That was the one I meant, but I can see now it doesn't match the redeeming mood you're planning.
