So if you’re looking for something that will make your heart pitter-patter and give you butterflies, we have just the list of suggestions for you! We know you’ll feel the love with each of these novels.

How to Fail at Flirting by Denise Williams

Everyone who has picked up this book has fallen in love with these characters: equal parts nerdy and sexy, with a heavy helping of dad jokes. Despite the adorable cover, this one deals with more serious, emotional issues, but it’s a heartfelt story nonetheless.

Written in the Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur

If you’re having withdrawals after the mega-hit Red, White, and Royal Blue, then this is the book for you. A queer fake dating relationship with nods to Bridget Jones and Pride & Prejudice. And if you’re like me and love astrology, this is the perfect book.

First Comes Like by Alisha Rai

A sneak peek into the life of a beauty influencer and Bollywood soap opera star = our dream book. Sweet and lighthearted, this one will make you smile and swoon!

Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers

I wouldn’t categorize this one at the same level as romance as the other novels, but this book deserves a spot on this list. It has a fantastic queer romance, but the true star of this is the self-discovery journey that the protagonist Grace Porter goes through.

A Pho Love Story by Loan Le

If a book has a lot of food in it, I’m hooked. If It has competing family restaurants, I’m in love. Throw in a romance, and I’m truly smitten. It’s funny and smart, and the book I wish I had when I was a teenager.
