Now, there are more options for teens and, hopefully, the diversity in storytelling and subject matters continues to grow. I can’t tell you the joy I feel every time I see a brown or dark skin girl on the cover of a book. The same goes for fat, queer, and disabled main characters. Sometimes, I find myself marathoning through young adult books just because I know the younger version of myself still wants to read those types of stories. This year, there are several young adult books that came out that made me smile. While I can’t list them all here, I did pick some that I think teens (and even adults) will love. Teenage me would never want to leave my room if I had all these books. If you are looking for more YA Romance reads, check out this list of YA books for those that love romcoms.
