K is in love with his best friend Sumire who is in love with Miu, an older woman.Ī must read if you’re looking for new adult romance combined with fantasy.

While not exactly a feel good romance novel, this book hits all the right and quirky notes on the emotional afflictions surrounding a complicated love triangle. It changes the love lives of everyone involved! I wonder if there’s a film adaptation because it could totally work! This novel is about shopping bags from Tiffany’s that get exchanged during an accident – one has a charm bracelet and the other an engagement ring.

I read this years ago and it’s still one of those books I think about when I want to read something heartwarming. But on the eve of her departure to join Alex in Boston, Rosie gets news that will change her life forever – and keep her at home in Ireland. Alex’s family move from Dublin to America – and Alex goes with them. But just as as they’re discovering the joys of teenage nights on the town and dating disasters, they’re separated. Maybe not purely romance but I’ve added it for sentimental value (sorry if it’s cheating!).įrom the blurb: From naughty children to rebellious teenagers, Rosie and Alex have stuck by each other through thick and thin. Who does not love this heartbreaking book by one of Ireland’s most widely read author? I still remember when I first read this book and it left me sobbing. And Tate Pennington has returned to the city, heartbroken but determined to move ahead with his artistic dreams. Her best friend, Smith Anderson, the seemingly-perfect daughter of one of New York’s wealthiest families, organizes the lives of others as her own has fallen apart. Pick it this if you’re looking for something cosy and comforting set in New York with central characters who are in their twenties.įrom the blurb: Clio Marsh, whose bird-watching walks through Central Park are mentioned in New York Magazine, is taking her first tentative steps towards a relationship while also looking back to the secrets of her broken childhood. This is one of my all-time favorite comfort reads. So here are some purely romance reads that I actually loved! I enjoy it if it’s an aspect of the story but not central to the book. I’ll be upfront about this: I’m not much of a romance reader.
