Why are star-crossed lovers more satisfying than those happily-ever-afters? One author shares,
“I have to admit, an unrequited love is so much better than a real one. I mean, it's perfect... As long as something is never even started, you never have to worry about it ending. It has endless potential.”
― Sarah Dessen, The Truth About Forever
Some of the more memorable doomed lovers I've enjoyed are:
Lily Owens and Zach Taylor -
Secret Life of Bees
Cassandra and Simon -
I Capture the Castle
Henry Lee & Keiko Okabe -
Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet
Miles and Alaska -
Looking for Alaska
Cathy and Heathcliff -
Wuthering Heights
Got any to add the the list?
