In honor of Valentine's Day, or PALentines day (because love comes in many forms and you don't have to have a bf/gf to celebrate it), who are the literary characters that make you swoon? Check out this teenreads article featuring YA authors divulging their literary crushes. I'll admit to some of mine:
Mr. Darcy, Pride and Prejudice - A man who not only admits when he has made a mistake, but goes above and beyond to fix it (and, really, Lydia and Wickham deserve each other, so I don't fault him for that one). He loves Elizabeth passionately and, as he so amply demonstrated, would do anything in his power for her and her family, but he does so quietly and without all the ostentatious showiness so often seen in today's relationships. A man who does something out of love, and not just so he can post the results on social media? Priceless.
