Looking for a love story?

Nights in Rodanthe by Nicholas Sparks From the #1 New York Times bestselling author, comes a tender story of hope and joy; of sacrifice and forgiveness -- a moving reminder that love is possible at any age, at any time, and often comes when we least expect it.

Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari combines humor and cutting-edge social science. A hilarious, thoughtful, and in-depth exploration of the pleasures and perils of modern romance from one of this generation’s sharpest comedic voices

Me Before You by Jojo Moyes is a love story for this generation. The story brings to life two people who couldn’t have less in common—a heartbreakingly romantic novel that asks, What do you do when making the person you love happy also means breaking your own heart?

Slumdog Millionaire by Vikas Swarup is a beguiling tale of perseverance and love. We begin in Mumbai -- where poor, uneducated, and orphaned Ram Muhammad Thomas is being held in a cell and tortured after answering every question correctly on India's "Who Will Win a Billion?" The story unfolds, question by question, with glimpses into the squalor and glory of life in the slums.
