Try 'The Final Farewell' - it has similar elements of heartbreak and closure as 'How to End a Love Story'. The plot and character development are quite engaging.
You might like 'Love's Farewell'. It explores the complexity of love coming to an end and the aftermath, much like the book you mentioned. The characters' inner struggles and growth are comparable.
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte has a very intense love story. Catherine and Heathcliff's love is wild, passionate, and ultimately tragic. It's a story of love that defies social norms and has a dark, brooding atmosphere.
Some books like 'OCD Love Story' are 'I'll Give You the Sun' by Jandy Nelson. It's a story about family, love, and art, with characters who have their own emotional baggage. 'We Are Okay' is also similar as it delves into the main character's past, her relationships, and her process of coming to terms with things. And 'The Hate U Give' while more focused on social issues also has a love story aspect within it and characters with complex emotions.
One example is 'The Jungle Book'. It is a collection of stories about Mowgli and his adventures in the jungle, and it ends with various tales that teach valuable lessons.
Don't make it too rushed. Take the time to develop the resolution and show the characters' growth and acceptance. Also, avoid a forced happy ending if it doesn't fit the story's tone.
One book could be 'Atonement' by Ian McEwan. It has a love story that takes a tragic turn towards the end. The misunderstandings and the consequences of false accusations lead to a love that is ultimately unfulfilled in a very heart - wrenching way.
It's hard to predict exactly. It could have a happy ending, a cliffhanger, or something completely unexpected.
