Top romcom books of 20025 - Swipe right and find out!
Dear Reader,

Imagine you’re at a glittering Regency ball, delicate fan in hand, desperately hoping for a witty swoon‑worthy encounter—but online, not downstairs. Welcome to Top Romcom Book Picks for 2025 (Funny Romance Reads I Recommend), where your very own Bridgeton-esque narrator (me!) guides you through the merriest, quirkiest, and most heart‑tugging romances of the year.

My Top Romcom Picks
1. Dance Shoes, Dating Apps and One Perfect Stranger by Alexandria (Ally) Britton

Set against the sun‑drenched charm of Malta, this one follows Ally—the dance‑teaching, gym‑failing, disaster‑dating heroine who’s far too real to be fictional. When a mysterious stranger waltzes into her chaotic life, all the missteps tumble into moments of hilarity and tenderness. It’s like Bridgeton meets Tinder and trust me, your funny bone will require a stretcher.

2. Funny Story by Emily Henry

Picture this: a librarian named Daphne, her ex, and the ex’s ex all in a dance of awkward encounters and emotional pratfalls. With heart, mischief, and that delightful Emily Henry touch, it’s the kind of rom‑com that sneaks up behind you and steals your smile. Plus, it was a bestseller—yes, people swooned.

Why These Reads Are Simply Delightful

Relatable chaos: Whether it’s mismanaged gym sessions or tangled writerly love, these books depict life’s messy side with grace and giggles.

Warmth wrapped in wit: Think of them as your literary equivalent of a cheeky séance with witty friends—and no danger of fainting from corsets.

Bridgerton charm, modern flair: They transport you, but also kind of punch right through your Wi-Fi in laughter.

A Final Word (Because Every Diary Entry Needs One):

If you're tired of generic romance lists that feel like they were assembled by a spreadsheet—well, darling, you've come to the right place. Here, you're invited to sip English Breakfast while I whisper in your ear, "This one’s hilarious, that one’s heart-melty, and that last one? Pure chocolate-coated mischief."

Your reading chair awaits—do bring biscuits (real one). And if these make you laugh so hard your eyeliner runs, just remember: it’s all part of the charm.

Yours in mischief and make-believe,
Ally (your personal diarist in rom-com recommendations)
