High-Quality Stories With Exceptional Writing

Any gender is fine, as long as the writing is good.

A Little Angst Is Good, Lots of Angst Is Fine Too, as Long as It Ends Happily

Something with a more original premise. Short stories are fine, too. Unrequited-love angst is fine as well. A little angst is fun, but too much is heartbreaking!

Reunite Years Later and Still Love Each Other, With Just a Little Angst

Something like *My Sunshine*.

Begging for Angst-Ridden Romance

I've read too many sweet stories, and now they're starting to make me feel sick. I want an angsty story that's both sweet and heartbreaking, but not cloyingly sweet or relentlessly tragic. The leads should have reasons for both their sweet moments and their painful ones. I don't want angst for angst's sake or sweetness for sweetness's sake.

I really love that kind of story: they gradually get together and have a wonderfully sweet time, but split up for various reasons, then meet again years later 😭😭😭 Does anyone have any good recommendations with this kind of premise? 😭

Any Realistic Romance Novels With a Calm, Everyday Feel?

I don't want wealthy-family stories or some kind of golden finger. I want something grounded in real life, unforgettable, and well written. The plot shouldn't move too fast, but it should be vivid and engaging, with an original storyline. Could some lovely fairy please grace me with a recommendation? I'm seriously out of things to read.

Any Realistic Stories About Unrequited Love? They Can Have Happy or Tragic Endings

Please recommend unrequited-love stories where the heroine has a crush on the hero, preferably set in middle or high school.
