This is a new feature I joined called Goodreads’ Top 5 Wednesdays, a weekly book group about our top five favorite things in the middle of the week.
November 15th: Nostalgic Book Boyfriends/Girlfriends
— Characters you swooned over when you were younger. This was a topic from our suggestion board 🙂
5. Nancy Drew – I didn’t exactly have a romantic crush on Nancy, but I admired her style, grace, quick wits, and ability to solve mysteries at the end of the story.
4. Gale from THG – I don’t care what anybody has to say — I still have a soft spot for Gale Hawthorne! I thought he was super sweet and friendly and kind, not only to Katniss. But he’d helped take care of her family while she was in the arena. I love me a family man!
3. Kostos Dounas from Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants – This is a random choice haha! I’d thought Kostos was cute, is all.
2. Edward Cullen from Twilight – My dude, Edward Anthony Masen Cullen!! Yes, he’s controlling, yes, he’s got a temper when he’s angry, and yes he can be infuriating with his mind games, considering he’s a frigging mind reader. But deep down, he’s very polite, sweet, charming, and is more than just an immortal monster.
1. Harry Potter, the Chosen One! – I had the hugest crush on Harry growing up, to the point of where I’d write “Harry Potter + Danielle Pitter” on my notebooks in school. Yeah, it was weird, but I have no regrets!!
Who are some of your favorite nostalgic book boyfriends/girlfriends? Leave comments below!
