I’m not fond of YA, so here are some classics:

Anna Karenina: Levin’s storyline is the true romance.
María by Jorge Isaacs: A dramatic love story from my country. If Romeo and Juliet lived in South America.
Far from the Madding Crowd: You will fall in love with Gabriel Oak.

I loved The Achilles Song from Madelline Miller
The Bad Girl from Mario Vargas Llosa.
Almost anything from Taylor Jenkins Reid. She has amazing love stories like Atmosphere, The seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Deisy Jones & The Six

Jane Eyre!!

some really good romcoms: funny story, first time caller, act your age eve brown.
literary fiction with strong romance plots: atmosphere, honey girl (sapphic), normal people

hope you find something you enjoy!

I love Taylor Jenkins-Reir books! I love them!
