• Everything I Know About Love by Dolly Alderton

  Highly relatable if you’re a hopeless romantic who grew up in the suburbs and flirted via MSN. Dolly Alderton’s personal memoir Everything I Know About Love offers a funny, uplifting and comforting take on love and growing up, from romantic flings to Rod Stewart-themed parties and the ever-lasting importance of friendship.

  Favourite Quote: ‘Love is a quiet, reassuring, relaxing, pottering, pedantic, harmonious hum of a thing; something you can easily forget is there, even though its palms are outstretched beneath you in case you fall.’

  Penguin Books Ltd, £7.49, Waterstones

• The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks

  What now conjures images of Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams (particularly that romantic rowing scene) first began as a Nicholas Sparks novel. The Notebook is the epitome of the romantic genre; a warm-hearted and emotive tale of ever-lasting love.

  Favourite Quote: ‘The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. And that’s what you’ve given me. That’s what I’d hoped to give you forever’

  Little, Brown Book Group, £8.99, Waterstones

   

• Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

  Set in the early 19th Century, Charlotte Bronte’s world-renowned novel details the life of Jane Eyre, from her turbulent childhood to her time spent as governess for the discourteous Mr. Rochester. Though the book can’t be entirely branded as a romantic novel, the growth of Jane and Mr. Rochester’s unlikely loving relationship lies undeniably at its core and continues to move readers today.

  Penguin Classics, £5.39, WH Smith

  Favourite Quote: ‘I would always rather be happy than dignified.’

• Me Before You by Jojo Moyes

  The first in a series of heartfelt romance novels, Jojo Moyes’ Me Before You follows a quirky and extroverted Lou Clarke as she finds herself caring for a successful former banker Will Traynor, left paralysed following a motorcycle accident. Romance soon flourishes as Moyes tenderly details the life-changing impact Lou and Will both have on each other.

  Favourite Quote: ‘I thought, briefly, that I would never feel as intensely connected to the world, to another human being, as I did at that moment.’

  Penguin Books Ltd, £8.99, Waterstones

• Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

  Written in 1813, Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice has certainly stood the test of time with over 20 million copies sold. Filled with colourful characters, romance and witty commentary on 18th Century society, the tale continues its stature as one of the best-loved romantic novels of all time.

  Favourite Quote: ‘A lady’s imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.’
