     If you are looking for you next read, worry not. Here's my top 5 favourite romance novels. If you are hopelessly romantic, you would definitely love these recommendations. Four of these books are also adapted into movies.  1. Me Before You by Jojo Moyes Scence from the movie 'Me Before You' Me Before You (Hardcover) Admist the backdrop of rich and working class, is the love story of Louisa & William. Me Before You is about love, taking risks, exploring who you are and who you want to be. Lou is so kind, caring, quirky, and full of colour. Will is wise, handsome, and has some quirks of his own. There are so many components of their life, that got left out in the movie.  P.S. : Me Before You is a Trilogy. The sequel books are 'After You' and 'Still Me'. I haven't read the other two, but I'm looking forward to it. Also a novella 'Lou in Lockdown'. If you have read all the 3 novels, tell me about it in the comments below.  2. A Walk to R
