My Favorite YA Contemporary Books | Recommendations

Although I do have some mixed opinions on some of the things that occurred in these books, I just remember that I did not want to read this book. I thought it was going to just be so bad, and then I finally picked it up and I just blew through it. I had a really fun experience with that first book and then I ended up enjoying books 2 & 3 a lot more.

I thought it was fun so if you like revenge stories and you're more in the mood for that as opposed to something very fluffy, although there is some romance in that series too, then I would recommend the Burn For Burn trilogy.

I also really enjoyed the romance, the friendships, the sister relationship, the family dynamic in this book and it is definitely a book that when someone says, 'hey what are some of your favorite contemporaries?' this one always comes to mind because of that connection I've had with it.

This one is ownvoices and I just think that there is a lot of value in it.

This one to me was just like a feel-good happy making book so if you're looking for a book that's just going to be really easy to fly through and just going to make you feel happy this one did that for me so I still think it's definitely worth recommending.

The third book, Isla and the Happily Ever After, is definitely my favorite of the series because I felt so much more connected to that relationship than I did to the first two.

I mean, I know a lot of people have said that they don't like this book but when I read it meant everything to me.

This is another one of those books that is just so happy making. If you're looking for something that will make you gush and swoon this is definitely it.

I just read this a couple months ago and it's my favorite book that I've read so far this year. Like, it really is that good.

I also enjoy the friendships in this book and the family of one of the main characters Peekay, like her parents were just so supportive and I just think that this is a healthy conversation starter that we really need to have in YA so I really love this book.

It's a very terrifying type of novel. It's definitely not a feel-good book. You're going to hate it but that's the point, and as someone who has been in an abusive relationship I actually love this book.
