What are some of the most angsty romance novels?

One popular angsty romance novel is 'The Fault in Our Stars' by John Green. It tells the story of two teenagers with cancer who fall in love. Another is 'Twilight' by Stephenie Meyer, which has a lot of angsty moments between Bella and Edward. 'A Walk to Remember' by Nicholas Sparks also fits the bill, with its tale of a troubled young man falling for a good - hearted girl.

In my opinion, 'Sense and Sensibility' is also a very angsty regency romance. Elinor and Marianne face heartbreaks and difficult decisions regarding love. The Dashwood sisters' experiences with love in a society with strict rules and expectations make for a very angsty read. And 'Jane Eyre' can be considered in this category too. Jane's relationship with Mr. Rochester has so many twists and turns, with secrets and inequalities that lead to much angst.

One popular one is 'Fifty Shades of Grey'. It's known for its steamy scenes and the angsty relationship between the main characters, Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey. The power dynamics and their journey of exploring love and trust while dealing with their own personal issues make it a steamy angsty read.

A great example is 'The Fault in Our Stars'. It has that angsty feel as the two main characters, Hazel and Augustus, deal with their own mortality while falling in love. Their relationship is full of heart - wrenching moments and sweet, passionate exchanges.

Angsty harlequin romance novels often feature intense emotional turmoil. The characters usually face a lot of internal and external conflicts. For example, there might be a struggle between love and duty. The hero or heroine could be torn between their feelings for someone and their obligations to family or society. There's also a lot of passion and sexual tension, but it's usually expressed in a somewhat restrained way compared to more explicit romance novels.

One popular intense angsty romance novel is 'Wuthering Heights' by Emily Brontë. The relationship between Heathcliff and Catherine is full of passion, angst, and turmoil. Another is 'The Fault in Our Stars' by John Green. The young love between Hazel and Augustus is bittersweet and filled with emotional intensity. 'Atonement' by Ian McEwan also has a very angsty love story at its core.

Definitely 'Divergent' by Veronica Roth. Tris and Four's relationship has its share of angst. They are in a dystopian society where they have to fight for their survival and their relationship is tested by the different factions and the power struggles. 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' by Stephen Chbosky also has angsty romantic elements. Charlie's first love and his struggle with his mental health make for a very angsty story.

Well, they often have complex characters. For example, the heroes and heroines may have inner conflicts due to their social status in the historical period, like a noblewoman falling in love with a commoner. This creates angst. Also, historical events such as wars or political unrest can add to the angst as the lovers may be separated or face difficult choices. The settings, whether it's a medieval castle or a Victorian mansion, add to the overall atmosphere. The language used is usually more formal or period - appropriate, which can enhance the emotional depth. The relationships are often tumultuous, with lots of misunderstandings and long - held grudges that fuel the angst.

One characteristic of the best angsty romance novels is that they make you feel deeply. In 'Romeo and Juliet', the tragic end makes you feel the full force of their angsty love. Unrequited love or love that is difficult to fulfill is also common. In 'Twilight', Bella's love for Edward is complicated by his vampire nature. There is often a sense of powerlessness in the characters. In 'The Fault in Our Stars', Hazel and Augustus are powerless against their diseases, which heightens the angst in their relationship. And the writing style usually draws you in, making you experience the angst along with the characters, as in 'Wuthering Heights' where Emily Bronte's vivid descriptions bring the angsty love story to life.

They often portray love as a struggle. For example, in 'Pride and Prejudice', Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy initially dislike each other. Their love grows through a series of events that break down their pride and prejudice, showing that love is not easy and is full of emotional ups and downs.
