So I figured maybe it’d be worth checking out a read that has realistic characters situations that involves a natural kind of romance with courting/flirting and such, that might give my insecure and introverted brain a safe space to kind of observe and reflect on romantic situations that otherwise in real life I would be too chicken to put myself into. Does that make sense? If you need clarification, please let me know below

I don’t have any personal experiences with realistic modern romance books. Or, for that matter, with realistic non-modern romance books. So I went looking for what other people have said. This is really difficult.
