Last month our Selective Collective book was Sarah Ockler’s latest novel “#scandal.” Ockler explores the idea of unrequited love. Lucy has a crush on Cole, but she can’t do anything about it, because he’s her best friend Ellie’s boyfriend. When you have a deep and abiding crush on your BFF’s guy, all you can do is endure being the third wheel and watching them be happy together. So when Ellie, too sick to attend prom, talks Lucy into going to prom with Cole, it’s awkward to say the least. Then things happen and Lucy discovers that maybe Cole just might have feelings for her too. Can she really act on her feelings? Below we discuss five other books with prominent unrequited love stories. You’ll have to read them to find out what happens, of course.

Unrequited love is such a universal feeling, isn’t it? We probably would have appreciated having some of these titles to get us through those years…
