I’ve been feeling really lonely lately so I’ve been trying to find any romance books to distract me.

However, the only books with male heterosexual protagonists I can find are either sports romances or have “alpha male” protagonists.

Are there any books where the main character is nerdier and more relatable?

    I haven’t read a lot of romance novels honestly but I read 11/22/63 last year by Stephen King. At its core its a historical fiction (very long read, I did audiobook) but there’s a love story interwoven and I found it very romanic. The main protagonist Jake seems very average to me and his views on life and the world were very relatable. Just an English teacher trying to make a difference in the world.

      11/22/63 was actually my first King novel but it’s exactly the kind of book Im looking for.
