Comments
- Aiden: where's the complexity? these books are great and all but don't really challenge the genre like I'd hope a good romance novel would
- Shadow Rune: but what about the ones that don't have a conventional happy ending?
- Quiet Serpent: actually think some of these are a bit overhyped - Time Traveler's Wife is one big emotional toll for not much payoff in my opinion 🤷
- Cohentalia: somehow I keep coming back to The Time Traveler's Wife
- Brunov: romance books don't really do it for me, but green's writing is so smooth you can almost forget it's a heavy subject
- Cipher Nomad: haven't read a romance novel in years, but John Green always gets it right for me
- Cleo: can't believe they left The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao off this list somehow
- Marek: what even makes you think love is just about romance?
- Nova: john green's prose has always felt like i'm reading someone's inner monologue
- Dane: romance novels just can't compete with the love story of Phantom 2803 and my wallet
- Nova: romance novels are so not my thing but I do love that they're getting this kind of recognition
- Diego Voss: i'd pick niffenegger's over green any day - the timetraveler's wife is just more elegantly heart-wrenching
- Novaellisxo: I'd need to see more of the list before I agree with this ranking, though The Fault in Our Stars is definitely a classic 💕
