She Died the Year the Begonias Bloomed Best

Short and Complete

Short, completed novels, sweet or angsty, age-gap romances are fine too. No idol school stories. Historical or modern settings are both fine. Recommend anything you think is good, but it absolutely has to be short and complete!!!!!

Looking for Tragedies, but Not the Idiotic Kind. Keep the Characters’ Values Straight
