25 of Your Favorite Stories About Star-Crossed Lovers
This Riot Recommendation on star-crossed lovers is sponsored by The Lovely Reckless by Kami Garcia.
Frankie Devereux would do anything to forget the past. Haunted by the memory of her boyfriend’s death, she lives her life by one dangerous rule: nothing matters. So Frankie isn’t fazed when she is forced to move in with her dad—an undercover cop— and transfer to public school.
That’s where she meets Marco Leone, a street racer with a reputation for trouble. Tough, sexy, and hypnotic, he makes it impossible for Frankie to ignore him . . . and the way he makes her feel. But when Frankie discovers Marco’s secret, she has to make a choice. Can she let go of the past and take a chance on her future?
Romeo and Juliet aren’t alone on the struggle. The heart-eyed can’t get a break, and while we have all the feels for their torment, we can’t stop reading about it. We asked you to share your favorite stories about star-crossed lovers, and you responded. Here are 25 of your favorites!
