YA romance books are a staple in young adult literature. (Heck, one of the books placing YAlit on the map was a romance between a girl and a vampire!)
It goes without saying that we like to curl up with a good romance book from time to time. There are a lot to choose from, but when it comes down to it, these are the best.

P.S. I Like You by Kasie West
If you’re a fan of any romantic comedy, especially ‘You’ve Got Mail’, then this book is exactly what you need this Valentine’s Day! It’s by far my favorite Kasie West book not only for the romance, but there are great family relationships and friendships also. I can’t get enough of hate-love romances, and if you’re the same then you’ll instantly root for Lily and her happy ending!

Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell
Rainbow Rowell brings to life relatable, unique characters in this fantastic coming-of-age story. Eleanor and Park find themselves through their friendship, and that’s why I found their love story so realistic. Reading their story will bring all the feels of falling in love for the first time. Falling in love can be a little awkward at times, but in the end, you’re reminded how amazing it can truly be.

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz
Ari is fighting his own personal war between growing up, his relationshops with his family and learning to move on from the events of the past. When he meets Dante, someone so completely confident and opposite to himself, the friendship of a lifetime begins. A beautiful coming of age romance that acknowledges the complexity of the universe we live in. One of my all-time favourites!

Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon
Madeline’s and Olly’s love story is different from the rest. Maddie lives a quiet and comfortable life, but everything changes when Olly moves next door. Since she’s allergic to pretty much everything and cant leave her house, they don’t fall in love the normal way. They fall in love by miming at the window, chatting online and sharing poems. Their first physical encounter is soo innocent and sweet. I couldn’t get enough of these two. This is easily one of the best YA romance books in a while.
