Goodreads asked Matt Micros:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Matt Micros This is a great question. In an older novel, I'd say it is Michael Tillman and Jelli Braden in SLOW WALTZ IN CEDAR BEND. The book is Robert James Waller's lessor known follow up to THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY. The characters play off each other well, with Michael's free spirited professor and Jelli, as a free spirit, locked into a life she isn't thrilled with and doesn't know how to escape.

For a modern novel, I would have to say Hazel and Augustus in THE FAULT IN OUR STARS. Two star crossed lovers whose pain and anguish makes them real--and wonderful. "We fell in love like you fall asleep. Slowly, and then all at once." Magical.
