How to End a Love Story by Yulin Kuang

  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

I love romance stories that have older characters (both are 32), diverse characters (the FMC is first generation Chinese-American), and complicated (both go through trauma right before graduating high school). This book delivers all of that and more. The FMC is super smart, driven in her career, and makes new friends along the way. The MMC has panic attacks and realizes his coping strategies are crap. 

This book happens to have one of the most romantic (to me) lines I’ve ever heard (though a bit of a spoiler)
  “…you don’t have to be completely healed to be everything I want.”
