What is your favourite romance book?

I am going to ignore the rules for this one and pick 2 books because they both stick out in my mind when I think of this question. The two I choose are Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell and The Fault in Our Stars by John Green.

Eleanor & Park Synopsis: Two misfits.
One extraordinary love.

Eleanor… Red hair, wrong clothes. Standing behind him until he turns his head. Lying beside him until he wakes up. Making everyone else seem drabber and flatter and never good enough…Eleanor.

Park… He knows she’ll love a song before he plays it for her. He laughs at her jokes before she ever gets to the punch line. There’s a place on his chest, just below his throat, that makes her want to keep promises…Park.

Set over the course of one school year, this is the story of two star-crossed sixteen-year-olds—smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try.

The Fault in our Stars Synopsis: “I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, then all at once.”

Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel’s story is about to be completely rewritten.

These two books just took ahold of me and kept me reading non-stop until I finished them. The way both couples meet and the fact that they are all misfits just make me want sequels (even though you can’t really make a sequel out of these). Eleanor is a puzzle to Park and as the days go on, he keeps wanting more and more to figure her out. Hazel is a sick kid that doesn’t know if she will even get to experience a love worth fighting for until she meets Augustus. Young love is something to cherish and remember because everyone’s first love is definitely the deepest and will be with them forever. You don’t forget your first love. Both of these stories are beautifully written and worth picking up if you see them at a bookstore. They will give you so many feels.
