As an avid reader, I enjoyed teenage romance books – don’t judge me – because they are simple and so full of drama, and I gotta be true to myself: I enjoy drama.

Although these are romance books for young adults, Colleen and I have a sweet tooth for these stories. I was looking for more young adults romance books to read in case I need some comfort reading, or something to get me out of a reader slump so I ask her for some of her favorite YA romance book and this is what we got! I am excited to present this list of romantic books for young adults that everybody will enjoy!

Geekerella by Ashley Poston

Part romance, part love letter to nerd culture, and all totally adorbs, Geekerella is a fairy tale for anyone who believes in the magic of fandom. Elle Wittimer lives and breathes Starfield, the classic sci-fi series she grew up watching with her late father. So when she sees a cosplay contest for a new Starfield movie, she has to enter, and she’s determined to win…unless her stepsisters get there first. However, Elle might find that her price could be something else…

Aren’t we all geeks and obsessive over the things that we love and enjoy the most? So when I read what this book is about I cannot help but think that I am gonna relate to this so much. Collen started this book during a Sunday morning and read around 100 pages, and she new then that this was gonna be THE book. Click to check her full review!

In the Penalty Box by Lynn Rush and Kelly Anne Blount

I think this will be a first timer for me! Not only we have teenagers and romance, but also we have sports! I am not into sports, so I am intrigued about this one. Willow figure skates and Brody plays hockey, something that totally makes them different but also something that connects them to their passion.

Collen shares that this was her first 5-star rating book for 2021! It has smack talk with is something to look for and some of her favorite tropes. Check her review and tempt yourself to get this novel!

Today Tonight Tomorrow by Rachel Lynn Solomon

One of those stories with one of my favorite tropes! Enemies to lovers! As they say, there is only one step from hate to love!

It is the last year of high school, and all these years Rowan Roth and Neil McNair have been bitter rivals. They have clashed on test scores, student council elections, and even gym class pull-up contests – who and why I don’t know-. While Rowan, who secretly wants to write romance novels, is anxious about the future, Neil’d love to beat her infuriating nemesis one last time.

Collin cannot find a better adjective than perfect! She simply enjoyed it way too much! She, like me, loves the trope of enemies to lovers, and she wishes she had had this book in high school! So, if you want to go back to those days or have someone currently there, then recommend them the book! Check her full review below!

How to Quit Your Crush by Amy Fellner Dominy

Mai Senn knows Anthony Adams is no good for her – and looking like this he ain’t good for nobody – no matter how hard she might crush on him. She’s valedictorian – of course-; he’s a surf bum –OF COURSE -. She’s got plans – like all smart girl-, he’s got his art – another trouble soul-. Complete opposites in every way- and meant to be together -. Vinegar and baking soda, they once joked. A chemical reaction that bubbled.

I must confess that the guy in the cover is no teenager, and he is such an eye candy! I love already where this novel is heading! Collen enjoyed this book enough to give it a high star rating! The best part? The story continues after graduation! Check her full review now!

The Ex talk by Rachel Lynn Solomn

Shay Goldstein has been a producer at her public radio station for almost a ten years, and she can’t imagine going anywhere else. But lately it’s been a constant clash between her and her newest colleague, Dominic Yun. He’s fresh off a journalism master’s program and convinced he knows everything about public radio.

Collen is an expert on these novels! She got an ARC of this book and is sharing that we should read this at the right moment. A repeated author in the list, and again, we go with the enemies to lovers trope! Collen shares that Rachel has become one of her favorite authors! She devour this book! Check her full review of this recently and anticipated release.

Note: I know this is not YA, but Rachel Lynn Solomon usually writes YA, so if you are looking for something more “mature”, you can totally try her new title.
