Twilight
I read Twilight after hearing about it in an article Life After 'Harry Potter'? It is the story of Bella Swan as she moves to Forks, Washington. Bella feels she is not wanted at home. She doesn't really expect too much from her new hometown. It isn't a big city and it is cloudy most of the time. But when she begins school, she is drawn to a handsome boy. Things might be looking up after all. But Edward seems to be repulsed by Bella. What did she do to offend him? She hasn't even talked to him yet. As she gets to know Edward and his family, she comes to understand why Edward reacted to her as he did. And she also comes to understand more than she ever imagined. If you want to read a very different kind of love story, check out the Twilight series by Stephenie Myers.
