I’m a total broken record at this point, but fluffy contemporary romances are my favourite! Since this is my first Kasie West book, I was hoping to enjoy it. I enjoyed it so much, that I’ve found a new go-to contemporary author. Love, Life and the List follows Abby, who’s summer is not going the way she wanted. She creates a list of things to complete to help her anxiety and to get outside of her comfort zone!
Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli
In January, the HCC Frenzy team invited me to an advance screening of Love, Simon. Obviously, I jumped on the opportunity! Since I hadn’t read the book yet, I made sure to read it before seeing the movie! Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda follows Simon, a gay teenager who isn’t so open about it. While exchanging e-mails with a boy named Blue, another student discovers it. This ultimately results in blackmailing.
A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas
When I started this series, I didn’t know I was about to take a wild ride. I also didn’t know they would become some of my favourite books ever. The A Court of Thorns and Roses series follows Feyre who kills a wolf in the woods. After that, she’s taken to the land of faeries to atone for it. It’s an epic high-fantasy series that’s totally worth the hype!
A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas
After reading A Court of Thorns and Roses, I knew I would really enjoy the sequel. But I didn’t think I would love it this much. A Court of Mist and Fury is probably one of the best books I’ve ever read. A Court of Mist and Fury picks up after the events of the first book. The series follows Feyre as she’s taken to the land of faeries after killing a wolf.
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
After reading Throne of Glass recently, I didn’t think Sarah J Maas’ books could get any better. But wow, was I ever wrong! I’m officially a Sarah J Maas convert. A Court of Thorns and Roses follows Feyre, who kills a wolf in the woods and is taken captive because of it. Her time in the land of faeries is both scary and exhilarating. The story is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast.
I See London, I See France by Sarah Mlynowski
We all know by now that I love contemporary books. When combined with travel, it’s usually a book that I’ll love. Heading into this book, I had really high hopes. But it ultimately fell a little flat. I See London, I See France follows Sydney as she travels in Europe with her best friend.
Top Ten by Katie Cotugno
Top Ten is my first Katie Cotugno book and I was hoping to have a new go-to contemporary author. I’m happy to say, I think I do! Top Ten follows Ryan and Gabby who are two best friends. As they near graduation, they make a top ten list to reminisce on their friendship. They also create top ten lists for the future.
Love Lucy by April Lindner
Young adult contemporary books with some romance sprinkled in, is definitely my favourite to read. They’re always so enjoyable to read, which makes them a great go-to book. Love, Lucy is a really charming and adorable contemporary romance that is perfect for summer. I picked it up on a whim recently because of my love for the cover!
Attachments by Rainbow Rowell
Before reading Attachments, I had never read a book written by Rainbow Rowell. But I figured it was time to pick one up! While at the cottage last summer, my friend was reading Attachments. She was constantly giggling and telling me that it is such a funny and enjoyable read.
Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
I really, really enjoyed this book. I don’t know why it took me so long to actually read it! Anna and the French Kiss has been on my to be read list for quite a while. Only after seeing some posts on bookstragram, did I finally decide it was time to see what I was missing. And I’m so glad I finally did.
Once and for All by Sarah Dessen
I’ve always been a fan of Sarah Dessen’s novels. So I was super excited to hear that she was coming out with another book. Once and for All certainly does not disappoint! Once and for All follows Louna as she helps her mother plan weddings.
Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon
Everything Everything is a really enjoyable book. This is my first Nicola Yoon book and I don’t think it will be my last. Not only is this book captivating and humourous, it’s also endearing and unique! Everything Everything follows Maddy, a young teenage girl who is allergic to the world.
