Everyone loves a good romance. . . Romance novels are the best types of books to get lost in because they are grand and cheesy and just all consuming! That is why I’ve compiled a list of 10 of the best romance novels that are so good you won’t be able to put them down.

Beach Read by Emily Henry 

A M A Z O N G O O D R E A D S

    I love these picks! I’ve read some of them and I particularly enjoyed Josh & Hazel, and The Flatshare. I have Get A Life, Chloe Brown and Beach Read on my TBR so I’ll definitely read them.

    I’m not sure if you’ve read these but I recommend Twice Shy by Sarah Hogle and The Roommate by Rosie Danan!
