Ooh, yes!!! I love romance novels! I’ve been reading The Inheritance Games lately (ty Anastasia for the recommendation btw) and they’re sooo good! They’re not completely romance, like there’s some mystery as well, but romance is definetly a part of it! And I’m pretty sure you’ve read the Lunar Chronicles? But if you haven’t then I highly recommend those!

Yesss I have tons! Some of my favorites:

- Love In English by Maria E. Andreu; about an Argentinian girl who's struggling to fit into her new home in the US, and meets the ~charming~ Harrison and the sweet Greek boy Neo. Very well-written, the characters are nice, and by the end of the book you really feel as if you've lived through their experiences with them :D

- Love and Gelato and Love and Olives by Jenna Evans Welch. They're very light, happy, and romantic, about Lina who travels to Italy (Love and Gelato) and Liv who travels to Greece (Love and Olives) to be near their fathers. The places they're in are so lovely, and the boys are very nice <3 There's also Love and Luck, about a girl who goes to Ireland - I haven't read all of it yet, but Lina and her boyfriend come out in it eeeee :DD

I vastly recommend them; I'm sure there are some more good ones, but I can't think of them at the moment, so I'll be back later :) Hope you like these!

Ooh, I love romance novels too :) Here are some that I really like (all of them are fairly clean and appropriate).

-When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon. It's about a pair of Indian-American university students and how they fall in love. It's well-written and original, and has interesting subplots. Sandhya Menon's written other romance novels too, like There's Something About Sweetie.

-Julieta and the Romeos by Maria E. Andreu. One of my favorite romance novels ever - sweet, heartfelt, skillfully written. It has lots of romantic scenes and great characters, and it captures the essence of romance, friendship, and summer. 

-as Celine said, Little Women! It's a classic for a reason :) And everything else written by Louisa May Alcott, especially Eight Cousins and Rose in Bloom.

-Tristan and Iseult by Rosemary Sutcliff - a romantic retelling of the Arthurian legend of Tristan and Iseult, romance mixed with Celtic and French fantasy

-Jane Austen's books. They're a little slow for my taste, but not unenjoyable.

-Heaven to Betsy, Betsy In Spite of Herself, Betsy  Was a Junior, and Betsy and Joe, by Maud Hart Lovelace. These are really good - they're full of romance, humor, and vivid writing. Betsy and the Great World is also great, describing Betsy's travels through Europe.

-Anne of the Island by L. M. Montgomery - you should read Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea first, but all three are excellent :)

-Kilmeny of the Orchard by L. M. Montgomery

I think that's it! I'll let you know if I think of any more :)

oooh yes my favorite!

seconding the summer of impossibilites bc i love that book!

don't hate me but twilight is a classic for sure

last night at the telegraph club--i haven't specifically read this but my friends love it

the downstairs girl!!!

lovely war--i will recommend this so many times its amazing

you've reached sam--super sad but beautiful

a thousand heartbeats--written by kiera cass, she wrote the selection series but this book is much cleaner lolz

okay thats all for now! im a big romance nerd so i definitely have more recs but i might come back later 

The Selection by Kiera Cass is a pretty good series I recommend, as well as Lunar Chronicles obviously.

Thank you guys so far for the recommendations! I have read the Twilight series, as well as the Lunar Chronicles (many times) and The Selection. And I recently read Love and Gelato and am soooo happy that there are others! I loved that book. I mean... Ren...

Btw, Lunar Chronicles fans, Marissa Meyer has a book called Heartless (how the Queen of hearts became who she is) and Instant Karma, another romance 

I have also recently been delving into romance, which I have not explored before! Here are the best ones I've read so far:

Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating: Sapphic fake dating (predictably, they do in fact end up falling for each other). I loved the characters, who are both Bengali-Irish. This book has both characters' POVs, which I always like in romance books because they're so character-driven.

Reggie & Delilah's Year of Falling: Music, DnD, and nerdy teens falling in love! Also dual POV.

I'm trying to write my first romance story right now...which I have to finish in 2 days for an assignment. Wish me luck!

Lupine, I deleted your third book because it's rated too mature for Chatterbox range.
