Anna Karenina, Romeo and Juliet, Love in the Time of Cholera, The Great Gatsby... The list of insanely beautiful but tragic love stories can take lots of pages.

On the eve of Valentine's Day, we have collected ten hilarious novels with a good final. Love, read, and enjoy every day spent with your soulmate. And if he or she is still not in your life, just look around :)

Bridget Jones's Diary by Helen Fielding
Bright, unpredictable, sincere, and a little bit crazy, Bridget realizes that she is finally ready for a serious relationship. The only problem is that the significant other is hard to find, as all guys around that seem to be nice are actually snobs or playboys. It is a brilliant and full of humor story that true love will still knock on your window, sooner or later.
My Not So Perfect Life by Sophie Kinsella
Katie lives in the city of her dreams, builds a promising career, works and spend time with interesting people, has fun and does not get tired of reporting this to the whole world via social networks.

In order to change everything, she will have to gather courage and let real feelings into her life.
Hunting and Gathering by Anna Gavalda
Gavalda’s novels resemble snowflakes: they are a bit similar to each other but, at the same time, unique and inimitable.

The Hating Game by Sally Thorne
It is a funny and easy to read story about hatred of an arrogant colleague, which over time develops into sympathy, and then into love. The theme of office romance is hardly new, but thanks to a sense of humor and ingenuity, Sally Thorne managed to write an excellent novel about such volatile human feelings.
Metroland by Julian Barnes
The favorite topic of the Booker Prize laureate is the study of human relations and testing them with time. Barnes’ debut novel is read in one breath; the plot intrigues, and in the characters, we can find our own strengths and weaknesses. It is a story about youthful and mature love, the charm of adolescence, and the ability to find happiness in married life.
Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

The Peacock Emporium by Jojo Moyes
British author Jojo Moyes is considered to be a true master of romantic stories. This book tells about the return to the native provincial town, about unresolved conflicts with parents and family difficulties. Fortunately, the hero treats everything with humor and finds the strength to restore her lost harmony.
P.S. from Paris by Marc Levy
It is a beautiful and slightly fairy-tale story about an American writer and British actress who are going through difficult times. Loneliness pushes them to an unexpected step - entering a dating site and write to a stranger. Like other author’s novels, this book is written with a light, almost airy language, imbued with a sense of humor and love for the characters. We just have to enjoy every page and hope for a happy end.
