Hello, world.I'm Allan K. Captor. This is just a pin name for my writing pieces that I made in the 7th grade. I'm a SINGLE ROMANCE NOVELIST. I'm working on a project and I'd like it to be a great hit. The only problem is that I don't know how to go about the rest of the story. So far, it's about a boy that has become obsessed with going to the library thanks to a girl that he admires greatly. He started going to the library every single day because she went everyday as well. He would sit across the library and observe her (because he's a creep...but a romantic creep). I had thought of him showing his feelings for her through choosing a page in a book..but it turns out that there's an entire movie based off of that already. Sad times. The Camellia flower is a very important aspect in this book. The title is "Untitled". It's in the guy's point of view, but switching it up might be nice. It's supposed to be a cute romantic story, as I'm a hopeless romantic. Thanks, looks. I watch lots of Asian dramas but I still don't know what to write. Can anyone recommend any good romance novels?
Can't have:
-Space. No Star Wars. My friend recommended that and I took his cracker out of his hand and threw it across the hallway.
-Vampires and werewolves. No Twilight. The only exception for werewolves would be something like "A Werewolf Boy".
-Eroticism. Just...Eeew...like, can you not?
-People above 30 years old. The cutest stories seem to have younger people in them.
-Depression and sad endings. That's tragedy, not romance. Thanks, Shakespeare~!
-Anything that's just...not for cute romance stories.

I'd prefer the stories to be about high school students. It must be cute. I'd take Korean romance stories any day. If you could please include the book title, who it's by and a description of it, that would be wonderful. Thanks for suggestions if you have any!

I don't have any book suggestions, but why not make your main character good with something like origami? Have him fold a paper camellia and maybe have him accidentally drop it on her head or something? Maybe he made it while admiring her beauty from afar?
Just a suggestion!

I recommend "If i Stay", "Where she Went," and, "Just one Day," all from Gayle Foreman. "Just one Day" is about fate and how our coincidences might not be accidental. It's personally one of my favorites. "If i Stay" was made into a movie, so I'm sure you've heard of it already. And "Where she Went," is the sequel to "If i stay." Its basically the point of view of the guy and what happens after the first book.

rainbow rowell's works are all great. eleanor & park has a sad ending, but the elements in the story are very sweet. i think you'd like it.

This is how you lose her. It's pretty much a collection of stories in one book. But it gets you thinking.

"Why We Broke Up" by Daniel Handler. Forget about the whole breaking up part for a moment and think of the love that started the whole thing and it might help you out. It's a quirky love story. :)

Alright, @8,7. I'll look into those as well.
