Rom-Com Novels That Need to Be Turned Into Movies
12 Rom-Com Novels That Deserve the Movie Treatment

Speaking of Sophie Kinsella, Kirsty Greenwood's books are similar and highly underrated in my opinion. Big Sexy Love ($14) is even described as "a laugh until you cry romantic comedy" right on the cover. In the story, Olive plays everything safe in her small hometown, but when her dying best friend has one final request for Olive to hand deliver a letter in New York City, she's sent on a crazy, whirlwind adventure of a lifetime.
This was one of the funniest books I've ever read, so there's no doubt it would make for a fantastically comical movie. While there are some kooky supporting characters, downright hysterical situations, a goose chase all across Manhattan, and of course, an unexpected romance, I love how, at its core, this story is a love letter to Olive herself and the power of friendship.
