24 New and Upcoming Romantic Comedies to Fall For
After a comeback that left readers breathless last year, romantic comedies are thriving on bookshelves, rising to the top of bestseller lists, and being snapped up for TV and movie adaptations.
While these lighthearted love stories are meant to make romance readers laugh, they're also bound to make them cry (with happiness!) as they explore all the ups and downs of modern-day relationships.
The books in this roundup are no exception. Starring adorkable leads—including two rival dating app creators, a pair of "unhoneymooners," a crown prince and a president's son, and a die-hard romantic waiting for her own Tom Hanks—these popular and highly anticipated titles show that we have now entered a rom-com renaissance.
Browse our selection below, which we put together by taking a look at average star ratings, number of ratings, and how many times Goodreads members have added a book to their Want to Read shelf. Which picks do you think will be "the one" for you?

I've just added so many of these to my TBR list, I wonder how many I will get though xxx
All the covers are gorgeous, bright and happy! I love this cover and novels trend... I want them ALL!

I feel the same! I want to read them all!

I have just started reading romance in the past few years. I'm finding a lot more variance than I expected. :)
I really dislike the cartoony covers. Makes them look like they're for younger audiences. Not that I'm looking for bodice ripper covers but just more mature, I guess. That being said, I do have ARCs for a couple of these!
I don't read a lot of romance but lately they have been really appealing to me and I love the cartoonish, cutesy covers! Lots here I want to read.
These covers are amazing! So refreshing and safe to read in public 😂
Covers just attract me a lot! they are colorful and alluring

Oh my gosh, me too!!! They're just so adorable and look good on my shelves :)
99 Percent Mine is a romcom??? Not the dreary part I read before DNFing.Lucy Parker is the queen of romcoms AFAIAC.
i'm so excited to read these books, the covers are gorgeous and i gotta admit i'm a sucker for RomComs ♥️
95% of this post is my TBR haaaaAnd I adore the covers, they’re cute and not contrived/messy :)

They give the appearance of a light and fluffy book when many of them are way more than that.
I cannot share to my grouo on facebook only on profile :(
so many fun ones that I want to read! loving the diversity of cultures :) added several to my tbr!

Someone please look up Shampoo by moi, Karina Almeroth, if you like romantic comedies!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe you didn't include "Life and other Inconveniences" by Kristan Higgins. It comes out in August and I can't wait. She is one of my favorite authors.
Mostly Dead Things should be up here...darkly funny take on grief, with romance too. But I guess not a traditional rom-com, so it gets left out!! Sigh!! This world we live in, so full of rules. Anything quirky or non-traditional to the norm, gets left out!!
