@lovebvrns Hi again :) Sorry for the delay in my reply, I was super busy yesterday.
Anyway, since you’re not picky, I decided to give a list of recs based on some recent books I read and/or my favorites (these vary but are mostly YA and a sprinkle of adult. I put asterisks next to some that might have triggering themes)
A lot of these are standalones but some are series: Iron Widow, A Curse So Dark and Lonely, Not the Witch You Wed and What If It’s Us
Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao*
The Sun is Also A Star by Nicola Yoon
Ace of Spades by Faridah Abike-Iyimide*
Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi*
Maybe a Fox by Katwi Appelt and Allison McGwee (I haven’t read this one in a while but I remember really enjoying it)
Old Wolf by Avi (same with this one)
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas*
A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer
Red, White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuinton
One Last Stop by Casey McQuinton
Loveless by Alice Oseman
Prince Charming/Her Royal Highness by Rachel Hawkins (I put these together since they are companions of each other. Quick and cute romance reads though they may feel rushed by the end FYI)
The Black Flamingo by Dean Atta
The Boy in the Red Dress by Kristen Lambert
The Romantic Agenda by Claire Kann
Not the Witch You Wed by April Asher
What If It’s Us by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera (has a bittersweet ending but there is a sequel that I haven’t read yet so I’m hoping it ends on a good note)
That’s it. Sorry if that’s overwhelming, haha
Hope you like some of these, would definitely look up trigger warnings for some of these beforehand just in case, I can’t remember them off the top of my head. Let me know if you end up reading any of them :)
