That's hard because most romance books are written for older people. There is one book I know for that you might like It's call "The Wind Blows Backwards" by Mary Downing Hahn. If you are 18 then you should try reading Julie Garwood. Sorry I couldn't help more.

It might not be your typical romance book but my recommendation would be "Wasteland" by Francesca Lia Block. It's a beautifully written love story, short and sweet and painful. I loved it so much I ended up buying a copy to keep.
