I really love reading love stories that feel very sad and lonely at first and where the main characters feel like something is missing, and then when they meet each other and fall in love they feel more whole and happy. Can anyone suggest books like this?

I love Jane Eyre and Persuasion by Jane Austen. They kind of have that vibe.

I am open to different genres and age groups and time periods. Can be a classic or modern. But no spice please! I like sweeter love stories that are less about lust and more about an emotional connection.

Thank you for any suggestions!
