Whether you’re going through a tough time romantically yourself, or whether you just like to read about affairs of the heart, there’s nothing quite like a book about love. It can be even better when it’s a doomed romance, taking the reader on an emotional journey. Here are three books about love that’s gone wrong that will break your heart into pieces.
The Song of Achilles - Madeline Miller
This is an incredibly imaginative take on the classic The Iliad, taking the story of Achilles and Patroclus and re-telling it. With a suspense that steadily builds, you’ll be desperately rooting for these lovers but if you’re familiar with Homer’s original tale, you’ll have a bad feeling about how things might end up.
We Were Liars - E. Lockhart
Rarely has a love story been written with such intelligence and cleverness; you’ll be deceived by the story without even realizing. It’s only as the book starts to build to its conclusion that you’ll realize the narrator isn’t all that she seems and the destructive twist will leave you breathless. We guarantee you’ll want to go back and read it again to look out for the clues you missed!
Love Story - Erich Segal
This book was written in the 1970s but it’s still one of the best. If you haven’t read it, put it at the top of your list as it’s beautiful prose that will capture your heart from the opening words. Forbidden love and tragedy combined; you’ll need the tissues to get through this one.
