Reader Question  (comments welcome):

I’m writing a novel at the moment, and as in most novels, my two main characters have a romantic relationship.

I’m just wondering what makes a good romantic relationship? It won’t be a typical dating one (I hate those anyway) because the novel is set in the middle of a huge war, so I’m just looking for hints&tips on how to make a decent romance.

It’s not a romance novel in the slightest by the way. The main focus is the war, this is just a subplot.

Oh, and the guy is 17 and the girl is 24.
