Hi everyone!
I'm on the hunt for a new romance book to enjoy. I can't get myself to read contemporary romances, and my favorite romance books are always ones where the story features a romance against a backdrop of political turmoil, with a cast of predominantly POC characters. Here are a few of my favorites:
- As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow by Zoulfa Katouh
- The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak
- The Stationery Shop by Marjan Kamali
It would also be great if the female main character is considered "undesirable" by prevailing beauty standards, but this isn't a necessity. Bonus points if it's also a tearjerker (all the books above have made me cry).
Do you have any recommendations that fit this niche? Thanks in advance!
