Any normal people here?
What is a good romance book that accurately depicts romance? Like a waifu that loves you back and is real, and so on?

I want the real deal, real feelings taken from reality and infused in to the characters.

I'm 19 years old.

I am handsome, smart, athletic and virile.

I have a novel that is in it's final editing stage, and a creative writing professor at my college has read the first draft and thinks it's saleable.

I have a girlfriend who is confident, articulate, playful and spontaneous.

I have a small group of interesting friends from different social and academic backgrounds, and I also have many other acquaintances who see me as a reliable source of humour and good company.

Both my parents are alive and in good health.

I have no regrets.

I have already experienced three existential crises, the latter of which was described as having the depth and profundity of a man twice my age.

I am a passionate lover, a sharp thinker, and a trader of witty repartee.

I am not self-pitying, meek or needlessly humble.

I will live a good life at your expense.

Belle du Seigneur
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
>Belle du Seigneur is a 1968 french novel by the Swiss writer Albert Cohen. Set in Geneva in the 1930s, the narrative revolves around a Mediterranean diplomat employed by the League of Nations, and his romance with a married Swiss aristocrat.
>An English-language film adaptation starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Natalia Vodianova was completed in 2012 and was released in Russia in November and in France in June 2013.

book is pretty good.
like when he disguises as a beggar : he's a womanizer, he knows he can have them all. But this one, he wants to test her heart. And she rejects the beggar...

I just found out they made a film in 2012.

No romance books do this well. You need someone who's writing for thoughtful, otherwise ordinary people, not a pornographer for that.
Below is a list of romantic types and their literary simulacra.

>Unfaithful swinger scene
Theogony, Hesiod
>Bored rich guy with a sham marriage
An American Dream, Norman Mailer
>Family drama with a new lover
Infinite Jest, not even memeing
>Losing a lover to another man
Ulysses, parts of Gravity's Rainbow
>Loss of a spouse
Mason & Dixon
>unrequited love of a beautiful bitch
Gatsby
Nobody has ever captured sick, unbearable teenage love. It's simply too powerful a feeling for any contemporary art form. Maybe in the future when we get "feelies" a la Brave New World.
