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

For me, Kristan Higgins is the queen of writing intense, all-consuming love stories, and this book is one of my favourites. In My One and Only ($10), Harper and Nick are ex-husband and wife who haven't been in contact for 12 years. When their younger siblings announce their surprise wedding, not only does Harper have to face Nick (and her unresolved feelings) again, but she's also forced to take a cross-country road trip with him.
I love how this story seamlessly combines laugh-out-loud scenes (a certain horseback-riding adventure gone wrong at the beginning of the book comes to mind) with more heart-wrenching moments between Harper and Nick and Harper and her family. It also ends with an unexpected grand romantic gesture that you won't soon forget.
