another good one. at least they were the same age.. but it didn't ended as happily if I remember correctly.

both of these books were hyper romantically intoxicating as a teenager. who knew that words can make someone feel so much =)

i still like Jane Eyre; however, if a teen gets the idea that the older gentleman is usually going to turn out to be as principled as the guy in Jane Eyre did--it could be doing a disfavor. Any romantic teen reading this should chase it down with a couple stories about catfishing gentlemen gone wrong and stories of falling in love with someone her own age.

maybe Pride and prejudice would be on the list. or maybe they should just get catfished. I dunno what the answers are.
