I would recommend 'Me Before You' by Jojo Moyes. Louisa falls in love with Will, who is paralyzed. But in the end, Will chooses to end his life, leaving Louisa heartbroken. 'Gone with the Wind' also has elements of a sad love story. Scarlett loves Ashley for a long time, but their relationship is full of missed opportunities and in the end, she loses him. 'The Time Traveler's Wife' is another one. The time - traveling Henry and Clare's love is tested by Henry's disappearances and his untimely death.
One is 'Atonement' by Ian McEwan. The story is full of misunderstandings and the consequences are tragic for the lovers. Another is 'The Fault in Our Stars' which shows the heart - breaking love between two ill young people. And 'Romeo and Juliet' is a classic sad love story, where the two young lovers are doomed by their feuding families.
Well, 'The Notebook' can be considered in a way. Although it has some beautiful moments, the end is bittersweet with the dementia - stricken Allie forgetting Noah again and again. 'Wuthering Heights' is also a sad love story. Heathcliff and Catherine's love is intense but filled with so much pain, jealousy and ultimately ends in a rather desolate way. Then there's 'Love Story' by Erich Segal, which has a sad ending despite the beautiful love story in the beginning.

One characteristic is the sense of unfulfilled desires. The characters often have strong feelings for each other but are unable to be together due to various external factors like family, society, or misunderstandings.
'Wuthering Heights' by Emily Bronte can also be considered a sad love novel. Heathcliff and Catherine's love is intense and tragic. Their inability to be together due to social class and other factors leads to a cycle of revenge and unending sorrow.

'Goodbye, My Only Love'. This title is straightforward and conveys the pain of separation from the one you love. It's a simple yet powerful title for a sad love story.
Some possible titles could be 'Faded Love', 'Love Lost in the Shadows', 'The Broken Heart's Tale'.
Another is 'The Great Gatsby'. Gatsby's love for Daisy is unrequited in a way. His pursuit of her, despite their class differences, ends in his death. Daisy doesn't fully embrace him as he hoped, and the green light at the end symbolizes his unfulfilled dreams of love.

Well, usually a sad ending means the main characters don't get the outcome they hoped for. Maybe there's a lot of loss, heartbreak, or unfulfilled dreams.
