Up a little late. I fell asleep while composing this!

1. What’s your favorite novel, TV series, or film about someone leaving the big city or a big career and returning to their small hometown?
2. What’s your favorite novel, TV series, or film about two characters (friends, strangers, coworkers, enemies, or something else) pretending to be in a romantic relationship?
3. What’s your favorite novel, TV series, or film about someone who stumbles through a hidden portal into a magical or alien world?
4. What’s your favorite novel, TV series, or film about characters racing against others to get somewhere, find something, or contact someone?
5. What’s your favorite novel, TV series, or film about rivals, enemies, or adversaries becoming lovers, partners, or friends?

Thanks for participating! And sorry in advance if these seem extra difficult. I enjoyed thinking of my own answers, but I also ran through a lot of tropes I didn’t like because they were too difficult for me to think of good answers for. I may have rejected five that you’d have loved in favor of five I enjoyed. 🙂

Have a wonderful weekend!
