    I recommend this book, a realistic romance novel with autobiographical undertones. The story is based on the real experiences of a boy from a small town, depicting the budding romance in school, which is then trapped by feelings of inferiority and the harsh realities of life. It doesn't romanticize love; it vividly portrays the regrets hidden in the hearts of ordinary people, making it so real that it draws you in.

    I highly recommend this one. Most of the characters are based on real people. It's a sweet, slice-of-life urban romance novel with a single female lead. However, some of the earlier parts were written a long time ago, and revising the later parts would require major changes, which is inconvenient, so this is the best I can do.
