every love story in literature, tier-ranked

acts of desperation is a great title for this book cuz it is kind of set in two acts the first half is about this obsessive passionate one-sided love and being utterly infatuated with someone and then in the second half she is kind of trying to push that guy away and it's destructive listen I support women's rights I also support women's wrongs and that is why this book is a hot new bombshell

I was so pleasantly surprised by this book I can't even tell you it was so brilliant I honestly think it's going up to the top spot because it is so poetically and lyrically written it feels like every sentence has been really carefully considered

I feel very indifferent towards I know that people worship the ground that Emily Henry walks on but something about this book just didn't really pull me in the prologue is great cuz it's basically acknowledging the romance genre and talks about its place within that genre and I liked how self-aware it seemed like it was going to be but then for me the romance just was like a little bit dull

call me by your name is going right to the top look this is not a healthy relationship but the yearning the descriptions of lust and desire are just so Exquisite like you can feel the passion pouring off these pages and that like obsessive intoxicating love I think is so fascinating to read about

Cleopatra and Frankenstein is a toxic love story is basically about this woman who is British living in New York and falls in love with the called Frank and then they marry so that she can get a green card and that rushed wedding basically just like ruptures their lives and impacts everyone around them and it Spirals and it destroys them but the writing is so good

Emma is such a wonderful book and it's kind of about the one character of Emma but there are lots of love stories kind of within that novel but I think Emma is one of the best characters in English literature

I feel a little bit indifferent towards again interesting premise it's basically about this couple where the guy is dating a girl from Sudan and he's kind of embarrassed to tell his family that he's dating someone from Sudan so it's really interesting cuz it's about racism within a relationship and being ashamed of a partner and how that can affect both parties

I read this for the Tik Tok book club and honestly I didn't love it I felt like it was kind of confused about who it was aimed at it was like a very American narrative set in an English setting and like at times it seemed to be aimed at an adult audience and then at other times it seem to be aimed at a very immature audience so there was just this real weird disconnect

this one was just a little bit boring to me and I didn't really think there was much point to it yeah I honestly think it might end up in the bottom tier for me it's about this like popular girl at school she's prom queen who goes missing after kissing a bunch of people and basically sending them on this wild goose chase to find her

I think that it's okay I think it's all right there are some really stupid moments though actually I feel like that might go into the category below just because there's elements like writing letters to Ellen degener and there's just some silly things in this book which kind of ired me a little bit

this one is steamy and sexy and hot okay there I said it's a romance book where like At first I found the characters horrible and awful but the character arcs are so great it's basically about this like spoiled socialite who gets arrested and then her dad as punishment basically sends her to this fisherman town and she falls in love with a human vessel this man and it's honestly really sweet and endearing but also hot as hell so that's going in Fanny flutters

firstly Jane air this is of course an iconic book and it would be an injustice to put it any lower than that

lie with me however is absolutely abolutely stunning it's this really tender story of a first love that didn't work out and growing old and still thinking about that person and being reminded of them and the last page of this book had me balling oh my gosh it is so beautiful

Memorial by Brian Wasington is good but I was waiting for it to be great there are some beautiful lines and it's an interesting idea

my policeman by Beth and Roberts is an interesting love story because it's a love story kind of between three people but two people who are in love with the same person one of those lovers is a man one of those lovers is a woman and they're both in love with the same guy and this had me hooked I think it's really captivating

Normal People by Sally Rooney of course has to go up there too although this is sad at times and frustrating at times I think that the miscommunication and the way it's presented is so accurate to the way that real people do misunderstand each other

then North and South for me I think is such a brilliant novel I think it's so underappreciated it's about a changing Britain there was beautiful symbolism but the love story is also really endearing and I liked it a lot

one last stop by Casey mcquiston I liked this book I feel like it could be here there's this really Rogue scene where two people have sex on the New York subway which altered my brain chemistry cuz that is such a strange thing to write in a book so maybe it might find its way in there actually H

this is the most Exquisite love story ever it's about this man and his relationship with being black in Britain his relationship with himself and his masculinity but also a relationship with a woman and there's music just soundtracks this book in such a stunning way I underlined so many lines in this book like my hand was aching by the end of it from literally underlining all my favorite quotes cuz there were so many

I feel the same way about this one I don't know maybe it's something about Emily Henry's writing that doesn't necessarily connect with me specifically but I always think they're a bit surface level and predictable so this is basically about these two people who used to go on holiday all the time and then they have this massive Fallout they decide to go on one last trip together and of course they realize they're in love this is not a smash this is a pass

so persuasion for me has to go into the fatty flutters category because this book has one of the most gorgeous de cations of love in existence the best to ever be written you pierce my soul I am half Agony half hope like who is writing like that these days

then Pride and Prejudice for me is like it's okay it's not my favorite of hers but it is still a banger

red white and royal blue I think is very sweet it kind of reads a bit like fanfiction about a fictional prince of England and a fictional son of the president of the United States and how they meet I think at times it was a little bit simplistic sometimes the stakes were so low because you knew everything always just worked out a little bit too conveniently and as a result the tension kind of just dies a death but it is a good book and I did enjoy it

reminders of him by Colleen and Hoover is honestly not that bad you might be surprised to hear this from me but I honestly think that people give Colleen Hoover way too much flag like she honestly is a completely fine writer she makes writing accessible her stories are relatively straightforward but if they connect with people then they're important

on the other hand we have rodom this was traumatizing sickening made me consider therapy this is Hillary Clinton fanfiction essentially I feel like I got tricked into reading this by a book club that I joined and yeah horrible

7 Days in June is so great and we'll leave you thinking about it for many more days and many more months than just seven it is so realistic you really feel every single emotion every single heartbeat every single heart flutter it's about a second chance at love after like 15 years separated and these two people realize that they're both writers and they've essentially been each other's Muses the whole time and it's very special

this was so stupid that it has to end up in that bottom tier I'm sorry about it

this book is terrible it's badly written for a start the author uses all these like Rogue obsolete words in the first half she's like trying to emulate Jane Austin's writing style and doing it like a parody and then in the second half of the book she just completely stops doing that and writes in the most basic Pros you've ever read in your whole life

the hating game I feel nothing about the one thing that intrigued me is the fact that the character has a collection of Smurfs and I just felt like that wasn't unpacked enough like I wanted to know why does she have these Smurfs like which Smurfs does she have which is her favorite one like honestly The Smurfs were the most interesting part of this to me

the island of missing trees is a fascinating book because it's about a love story but also about domestic politics so it's set in Cyprus and we have a Turkish cypriot and a Greek cypriate who fall in love in a kind of like Romeo and Juliet forbidden romance kind of way

the kiss quotient is an interesting book this is about a woman who hires a male escort basically to help her to learn more about sex and it's very sweet it also features great representation of someone who's neurodivergent which is quite rare in this genre so I think it belongs up there

I thought this book was so stupid and that just took me out of the narrative completely it's about a student who falls in love with a professor at her University like she's an adult but the whole dynamic between them feels so forced and weird and some of the scenes that are set up are just so ridiculous that it's hard to really be rooting for them

I did enjoy this book but I felt like it needed to pick which lane it was trying to be in and run with it cuz I felt like it was trying to do a couple of different things and then ended up just being a little bit flat at the end

the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo this is a book I genuinely recommend to anyone who is trying to get back into reading more because it's excessively written the story is fascinating this the pacing is great there's twists and turns the great love story in this book is beautiful

the song of Achilles holy moly holy SCH smokes one of the most beautiful love stories of all time I think meline Miller came she conquered and she left no crumbs not even a morsal again this is one of those books where the ending is just like devast ating and crushing and exquisite

now the main deception here is people saying this book is good because what the hell was that bestie honestly it's so awful it's enemies to lovers but there is no real reason for them to be enemies they're just like mad at each other for no reason right from the very first line we know exactly what's going to happen cuz it's made so abundantly clear that honestly I've had more tension with a bowl of soup

the course of Love by Elena baton I thought was kind of just dull it's also annoying basically he is like a philosopher like psychologist and he talks about these this couple who are basically like falling out of love the author like breaks the fourth wall and interjects and gives like an analysis of what's happening when it's kind of obvious

this book had so much potential to me it was such an interesting premise like people who have found out they have 24 hours left to live and then it just descends into this really Naf love story and unlik the couple the way that they talk I just didn't really find that believable

the writing is so Sublime it is beautiful and for that reason I honestly think it's got to go at the top because this book is really stuck with me and that's why I wanted to talk about love stories in literature that aren't necessarily straightforward romance books

yba buenna too is really dull I actually think y buner might even be like gives me the egg because this book was such a disappointment such a let down for me if I was dating this book I would ghost it like Casper

it discusses the death of a partner and dealing with that grief in a very interesting way it then moves on to being about falling in love with the father of the person this woman is dating and that's wild so honestly there's twists and turns in this book and I was in it for the ride
