Get the fuck out you fucking fool,

romance is an action, a process, a relationship, it isn't anymore cliche than any other human interaction or endeavor

op is asking for a novel with romance, adventure, etc...not a romance genre novel

there's a difference, one day you might be sharp enough to detect it

war and peace

No, really - it has a great mix of romance and adventure

Blue Lagoon by Henry DeVere Stacpoole

one of my favorite novels for whatever reason, it's basically the hatchet but the boy has a female to grow up with and learn about fucking

the end is all sad ;__;

At least it's plot schemes aren't overused! They're just the most boring to ever be smeared into a paperback cover.
