"Buzz of Love" & Literary Couples

My friend Natalie Palmer is having a Valentines Day contest here about her book "Second Kiss", which is a YA romance. You ought to check it out--both her contest and the book.

And speaking about Valentines Day and romance and young adults, it made me think about some of my favorite and not-so-favorite literary couples.

I'll start with the less happy couples
  1. Andrew "Ender" Wiggins and Novinha (I absolutely loath this toxic relationship. Ender deserved so much better) from Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, and Children of the Mind.
  2. Catherine and Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights
  3. Jacob and Renesme from Breaking Dawn (sorry, but that's just creepy even if it's innocent)
Couples I like:
  1. Jane and Rochester in Jane Eyre
  2. Anne and Gilbert in Anne of Green Gables
  3. Lucy and Nicholas in Moonrakers Bride
These are a few of mine. What are your's?
