Also someone posted on FDS about a really good fantasy series I think? That didn't have unnecessary rape or violence against women to move the plot along. I forgot to screenshot it!! I think it had "Star" in it, if anyone knows what it was please let me know!

Not romance, but great reads about women: The Power Naomi alderman, The Red Tent Anita Diamond, Wild, Cheryl Strayed, Women who run with the wolves.

I've had this same issue and it took me a long time to find books that made me happy and to find romance books that weren't terrible (in my opinion) I thought The Flatshare and Writers &Lovers had some good characters and a lot of personal growth. The main character did have to deal with some horrible, shitty men though, so heads up. For happy books, I've honestly been re-reading books from my pre-teen and teen years before bed and I'm surprised at how nicely some of the stories are crafted :). It makes me really happy. Oh and Harry Potter, although it does make me really sad sometimes, so I stopped after the fourth.

I like the Jane Yellowrock series - it's got vampires and shapeshifters but the protagonist is well written. She's tough without having to be manly, and has a character arc with a lot of emotional growth. The men in the books run the gamut of low to high, but nearly all of the women in the books are HV - independent and respected by each other and their peers.

A YA fantasy book series I absolutely loved as a teen was The wolves of mercy falls. I don't remember all the details but the slowly developing love story was just so sweet and wholesome. The type of guy who writes poems and love songs for his girl will do anything to make her feel happy and safe.

You don't necessarily need to read all 3 books as the first one already has a conclusive story, that the other two build up on and further flesh out the story and characters. Very well written as well.

I love Sense and Sensibility.

Ok, Colonel Brandon would be far too old for Marianne by today's standards, but he was a wonderful man for the time period, and he took care of that family when nobody else would.
