I would also say Annie and David from "David's Song," but I'm a bit prejudiced in their favor. With deeper thought and longer consideration, I would have to say Jamie and Claire from Outlander, (For the record, Jamie is not my favorite character in the series. I'm in the minority, I know.) Their my favorite couple because they both allow the other to be the person they were meant to be--even if that causes difficulty in their relationship. In the series, they grow together as a couple and as individuals as well. They are supportive and protective of each other. And let's face it--Jamie can be horribly romantic when he wants to be!(less)

I have learned how to write using adverbs sparingly. (haha...did you catch that?)
I have learned how to use a comma, for the most part.
I have learned how to create realistic and compelling characters.

But I have not learned how to use social media. I have an Read more of this blog post »

I don't give many 5 star reviews, but this book deserved it. All for sounding cliche: I laughed, I cried, I couldn't put this book down. It's been a long time since a book has absorbed me like this.
