Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins

Budding designer Lola Nolan doesn't believe in fashion... she believes in costume! The more expressive the outfit - the more sparkly, more wild - the better! Life is pretty close to perfect for Lola, that is, until the Bell twins, Calliope and Cricket, return to the neighbourhood and unearth a past of hurt that Lola thought was long buried. A quirky, colourful novel full of outgoing characters that come alive on the page, set among the calm backdrop of a quiet neighbourhood in San Francisco that plays host to a completely addictive romance.

It Only Happens in the Movies by Holly Bourne The greatest love story ever told doesn't feature kissing in the snow or racing to airports. It features pain and confusion and hope and wonder and a

baon on cheesy clichés. Oh, and zombies...

The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks

Noah Calhoun has returned from war and, in an attempt to escape the ghosts of battle, he sets his mind and his body to restoring an old plantation home to its former beauty. But he is haunted by memories of the beautiful girl he met there years before. A girl who stole his heart at the funfair, whose parents didn't approve, a girl he wrote to every day for a year. The Notebook is the love story to end all love stories - it will break your heart, heal it back up and break it all over again. The notebook was made into a huge blockbuster of a film but the book is better!

Funny, poignant and heartbreakingly real, It Only Happens in the Movies is a partly about falling in love and getting swept away despite

yourself. It Only Happens in the Movies perfectly captures the ‘real side’ love.
