    These books all meet the requirements. If you like sweet romance novels, you can check these out; this author's books are all about two people's first love and two wealthy families. There are no female or male supporting characters, no side couples, the pacing is fast, and everyone has sound values. The ambiguous and agonizing parts are incredibly addictive, haha, so relatable! The tiff scenes are also quite realistic, haha, since neither of them has ever been in a relationship before. They grow through love. It's really, really good. It's incredibly engaging. I love her first book the most. I feel like this one has the most mature writing style and the most polished presentation.
