Are you in the mood for true love despite unusual circumstances and social norms? That kind of romance that develops naturally, but causes plenty of strife in the process? From age differences, to unacceptable liaisons to scary situations, to impossible connections, these stories have our stomachs in knots, all while giving us swoon-worthy butterflies.
I’ve compiled all of our most “unconventional love story” favorites (at least so far), into one easy-to-click list. You want 5-star, best of the best, tried-and-true reads? Dig in, my book friends!!! 
Are you in the mood for an intense, pajama-top drenching sob fest? I know your instant reaction is GAH!! Noooooo!!! But you know so many of our absolute forever favorites included a deep, heaving cry. Those moments (and books) that we’ll never forget. Sometimes those are cathartic, you know. It doesn’t always have to end sadly for one to have a good cry while reading. Right? 😉
