I just completed " Never let me go " and it took me on a whole different ride. The emotions peaked and the personal connect I had with the characters of Kathy, Tommy and Ruth is beyond words. Could someone please suggest books like these – that are emotional, around romance, coming of age stories with hard questions.

Not strictly ‘around romance’ but I would recommend Vita Nostra. Highly recommend it
Not all of these contain romance but they fall under my self-decided “soft dystopian/literary speculative” umbrella:
*Klara and the Sun* by Kazuo Ishiguro
*The Other Valley* by Scott Alexander Howard
*I Who Have Never Known Men* by Jacqueline Harpman
*The Memory Police* by Yoko Ogawa
*Station Eleven* by Emily St. John Mandel
*Picnic At Hanging Rock* by Joan Lindsay
