Infernal devices + last hours, the cruel prince, ruby red, once upon a broken Heart

Divine rivals, cruel prince series, six crimson cranes

A far wilder magic my Allison Saft. My biggest thing is the romance has to be believable. If one party just likes the other for no reason it’s an instant no for me. This one is a slow build with two compelling characters. Also a fantasy 1920’s esk world with alchemy

Definitely Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries 🙌

An ember in the ashes by Sabaa Tahir

If you read it let me know, I’m always down to gush about it

Sarah Dessen has a variety of books but often romance. She's a fantastic story teller.

Court of Thorns and Roses is worth it for the second book alone lol

Daughter of Smoke and Bone is so much more than a romance

The Infernal Devices is gorgeous and fun

That Inevitable Victorian Thing is unique, and lovely

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell, Me Before You by Jojo Moyes, and Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan are my current contemporary favorites.

The Game of Life and Death

I am just getting into this genre, so excited see what other people recommend. My favorites so far have been the To All the Boys I've Loved Before series by Jenny Han, and The Summer of Jordi Perez (and the Best Burger in Los Angeles) by Amy Spalding. Both are super sweet and were delightful to read.

I find that if you are looking for hidden gems in romance, then taking a look at queer fantasy is one way to get it (unless you are actively put off by it), because it is it's own small literary niche, that most people forget to recommend unless you are specifically asking for that:

Of Fire and Stars by Audrey Coulthurst

Girls of Paper and Fire by Natasha Ngan

Dragonoak by Sam Farren

Vampire Academy and it's follow up Bloodlines by Richelle Mead

Morganville Vampires by Rachel Caine

Jane Jameson by Molly Harper

All vampire series that are good for different reasons but Jane is hysterical.

The Selection Series by Kiera Cass

Matched Series by Ally Condie

Both dystopian series that are teen romance focused

A Darker Shade of Magic by VE Schwab

Poison Study By Maria V Synder is honestly a must read. It’s one of my all time favorites in YA.

the raven cycle? It is pretty popular so maybe you’ve read it but if not it’s one of my favourite series ever, and is definitely worth checking out.

Libba Bray's Diviners series is pretty romance-heavy. Teen love in the Roaring '20s, with some psychic powers, government conspiracies and ghost hunting thrown in.

I don’t think it’s categorized as romance technically, but Divine Rivals was so, so, so good.

Anything by Ann Liang

Books by Lynn Painter

Today Tonight Tomorrow

• The Half Life of Love by Brianna Bourne!!!!!!!
• Breathless by Jennifer Niven
• Even If It Breaks Your Heart by Erin Hahn
• Long Story Short by Serena Kaylor
• This May End Badly by Samantha Markum

Not just a Moment by Ivy Wilson is great, its a small town HEA, clean romance, kisses only

Opposite of Always by Justin A. Reynolds. His other book Early Departure would probably work as well, but I haven't read it yet so I can't confirm.

The Mirror Visitor quadrilogy maybe, it has an important romance but to me it's not the most important and its advancement is quite slow 

Hooked in middle school? 💀

Once Upon a Broken Heart series is quite tame. I’ve only read part of the first book because I found it quite juvenile, and I didn’t know it was firmly YA.

And maybe Sarah Dessen books?

Turtles All the Way Down by John Green. There is a romance, but no sex.

She'll like gothic romance mystery novels, mistress of mellyn by victoria holt, Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier , window in the square by Phyllis a Whitney.

DO NOT let her read Flowers in the Attic haha

Jane Eyre!

Pride and Prejudice is the obvious choice here!

Yes, but its low points are probably sufficient for a 15 year old.

Us: An Intimacy Innovation checks your boxes except it lacks action. It also has no toxicity. It's in the "Will they? Won't they?" vein of the first-love trope.

I just finished reading the entire series of The summer I turned pretty by Jenny Han to fix my reading slump and it did the trick excellently. There is love triangle but not as harsh as the Amazon prime take of it. I enjoyed every second of it and did nothing else but read for the last 2 days. It’s an easy read so I highly recommend to people who aren’t in the reading habit yet.

{To All The Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han}

{A Quiet Kind of Thunder by Sara Barnard}

{Adorkable by Sarra Manning}

{The Sun is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon}

{Undeniable by Liz Bankes}

Anything by Kasie West, those are adorable. I've only read P.S I like you and by your side but they're adorable.

And she drives me crazy.

Anna and the French Kiss is one of my fav YA romances!

This vicious grace if you want it fantasy flavoured

Love + Trauma. She's a goddess though.

Fools in Love by Rebecca Podos (It’s a compilation of short stories)

Letters to the Lost by Brigid Kemmerer

Somewhere Only We Know by Maureen Goo

I Love You So Mochi by Sarah Kuhn

Love & Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch

I like S.K. Ali! Love From A to Z was pure loveliness. I also recently read The Boy From the Mish by Gary Lonesborough, which is a beautiful queer Aboriginal YA story.

The Catalogue of the Universe by Margaret Mahy.

The best YA romance that I’ve ever read is Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. No other YA romance compares imo. It’s so beautiful, heartbreaking, and tender.

Ignore the sequel though, just pretend it doesn’t exist.
