Goodreads asked Holly Bodger:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Holly Bodger Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy [Pride and Prejudice].

I love Elizabeth because she's smart and strong, and doesn't let money or status influence her choices. I love that she reads books and gets mud on her dress, and yet is still the one who attracts the most eligible bachelor in town.

I love Darcy because he's fiercely loyal to the people he loves. He's also a little shy and awkward which I prefer to the typical "flawless" hero.

As a couple, I think they're perfect because she needs someone to show her that her prejudices against the rich are wrong, and he needs someone to knock his pride down a level.

P.S. My current favorite "modern" couple is Celaena & Sam [Throne of Glass series].
