The Adventures of Sally, by P. G. Wodehouse

In my humble opinion, this is one of the best of the Wodehousean novels. While it is humorous, it is not so in the usual, patented overt manner of most of his other works. It is an honest-to-goodness love story, and supremely well done. Furthermore, the principals of the story are not of the British nobility, but Americans of less-than-opulent means. And what is most pleasing, it has the clumsy-but-goodhearted suitor who logically has no chance to win the girl - but does. It is an enjoyable story in every respect.
