Hey y'all! Been feeling the YA thing lately, and was looking for something else to scratch that itch. Looking for something that's "realistic", can have romance (but doesn't need to be the focus), and bonus points for dark/gritty.
Some I've read lately that really stuck with me:
- Sex & Violence by Carrie Mesrobian
- I'll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson
- Better Than The Movies by Lynn Painter
- Boy Toy by Barry Lyga
- The Way I Used To Be by Amber Smith
After some searching, I've been pointed towards Girl In Pieces, Cracked Up To Be (Courtney Summers), and The End Of Everything (Megan Abbott), so feel free to comment on those. But yeah, I'll take any suggestions!
