Here are five romance reads we’re loving this spring on Libby:

Love Overdue by Ali Berg and Michelle Kalus
🎧 Audiobook

This is a witty, feel-good rom-com about a teenage romance that reappears twenty years after it ended. I love reconnection stories, and this one is filled with laughs and nostalgia, plus some spice. On top of that, it’s written by a pair of Aussie best friends that have already had a few wildly popular reads.

How Freaking Romantic by Emily Harding
🎧 Audiobook

The title of this one drew me in. I knew I’d be in for some laughs, and it did not disappoint. This book features fierce enemies-to-lovers chemistry, razor-sharp banter, and complicated friendship dynamics among the characters you’ll love to follow.

Stuck Up and Stupid by Angourie Rice and Katie Rice
🎧 Audiobook

"This sharp, hilarious, and heartfelt novel is giving major Austen vibes with a fresh twist – and we're obsessed."—Reese's Book Club (Reese's Book Club Summer '25 YA Pick)

Say no more! The other thing I loved about this title was it’s written by an Australian mother-daughter duo.

Backhanded Compliments by Katie Chandler
🎧 Audiobook

Sports romance books have been having a moment lately and I love to see an LGBTQ+ one receiving its praise. This book follows Aussie tennis prodigy, Juliette Ricci, when she meets Lucky Luca Kacic across the net and their rivalry heats up – in more ways than one.

Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry
🎧 Audiobook

We couldn’t have a romance reads list without Emily Henry. This one also has a bit of rivalry vibes when two writers are stuck on a small island competing for the next big job of their careers, while – of course – falling in love. This one also had an unexpected twist that you don’t always find in a rom-com.
