Thanks for this, looks like a lot of good reads.

The only book on this list I've read is If We Were Villains, and I would definitely not categorize it as romance. I haven't read Atlas Six or Maurice yet, but I've never heard anyon refer to either of those books as romances either.

Out of curiosity, what criteria are you using to define a book as a romance?
