Hi guys! I’m looking for books in which a girl pretends to be a boy for some reason!
I always read this kind of story, but I never find one that happens these days. For example, the protagonist has to enter an exclusively male school or enter some kind of sports team… I would like stories like that

Just One of the Guy the novel.
It’s not a romance but you should check out Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett
It’s a movie not a book, but She’s The Man with Amanda Bynes has this premise!
This is a manga series but you should totally check out *The Legend of Basara*
I can’t quite remember if the protagonist fully pretends to be a boy or is just regularly mistaken for one because she dresses masc and is learning a male dominated skill, but I enjoyed Ellen Kushner’s The Privilege of the Sword. It’s technically a sequel and references the previous book, Swordspoint, but it can be read alone as well.
The Alanna series by Tamora Pierce has Alanna pretending to be a boy so she can attend school and train to be a knight. It’s a young adult series, but pretty good.
Girl in Blue by Ann Rinaldi is about a girl who leaves home disguised as a boy to fight in the US Civil War. Also young adult.
