Classic novels in which both parties of a couple fall in love slowly?
One thing that I miss when reading classic novels is the slow burn passion coming from both characters in a couple.
There is a common theme in some books where one part immediately falls in love (sometimes proposing marriage) while the other takes time to make up their mind or figure it out. I don’t want to mention books to not spoil for anyone.
Can you recommend me books where both characters of a love interest take time to know each other and realize their feelings? The ending doesn’t have to be a happy one. I also appreciate if you keep it as spoiler free as possible (which is kind of stupid considering we are talking about universally known books but always worth trying).
