It’s a simple fact; other than the mandated reading that college students drag themselves through in order to complete an assignment, most students do not find the time to pick up a book and read. Reading is oftentimes given a bad reputation. I have always believed in the importance of using reading as a medium to relieve stress, especially with easy-to-read pageturners that grab your attention quickly. Picking up a book right before bed can be so therapeutic and relaxing; a way to quickly escape into the intricate world that an author creates.
Romance books have been a staple of female reading for ages. We love watching characters fall in love on the big screen and overtime in tried-and-true television shows, so why shouldn’t we give the same love to books? I’ve compiled a list of some of the best romantic comedy books I’ve read this year in order to hopefully give you a place to start. And if you’re already an avid reader, then enjoy a few extra suggestions. It’s true; we all have a little bit of a hopeless romantic in us, and these books will allow you to unlock her, just a little bit. These light reads will not take too much of your time, but you will find yourself falling in love with the characters — and the plotlines — quickly.
