I wrapped up the countdown of my favorite couples in literature through Project Boy Meets Girl, but that doesn't mean it's over.

In the spirit of Project Boy Meets Girl, I asked some of my friends to name a few of their favorites. Most of them chose to pick new ones, which is great, because it really builds on our list.

5. Remy and Dexter in This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen.

Did any of your favorites make an appearance this time around?

Here are a few of my honorable mentions who didn't make my Top 10:

Thanks to everyone for sharing their favorites. It helped remind me of some good reads or clued me in on books I should check out.

OK, that's it, folks. This time, I'm really done with the series. Hope you enjoyed it.
