I Need Romance Book Recommendations

February 17, 2021

 


Since last Sunday was  a Valentine's day, i think...it suits the theme to bring you the Romance Book Recs to you. This time, for book recs with certain genre, i will put the part of it, since in the next future i might give you another one. To be fair my recommendations are for YA books, and more warning in front, it's not your typical romance book. 

As usual, in non particularly order and no spoilers included. No, it's not include with sexy scene, this time is for the fluttering in the stomach kind of romance. And yes, the recommendations will be for the books I've read years ago (since i rarely read book with romance heavy lately, more into fantasy heavy) so if it's out of date, well.. suck it up baby! lol! Without further ado, let's dive in!


1. To All The Boys I've Loved Before By Jenny Han

This one is my old time fave. Suppose to be just a standalone, but of course it has to be a series since the hype is too much, demands from the reader, and viola! Another book leads to another book. The story set in high school, half Asian main characters with love letters that isn't suppose to be sent yet it made all the man chasing Lara either to confirm the feelings or just to make it clear about it. Of course it wouldn't be such a big deal if one of the letter sent to someone that shouldn't know Lara's feeling. 

Included a fake boyfriend troupes and scandalous event, the story just getting more and more fun. And OOH!! This also already adapted to movie, the whole series! In fact the last movie for the third book, Always and Forever Lara Jean already released in 12th February. I honestly haven't watch the movie, first movie i hate, second movie i love, i just can't wait for the third one. 


2. Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins

Actually, this one is the third book of the Anna and the French Kiss series. I know, the title is just.. kind of... uh.. right? but believe me it's a good series. Took place in boarding school in Paris, the city of love, how can't it be more romantic? I would say you can skip the first two books and read this third book Isla and the Happily Ever After right away without really missing much since the whole series only related in the characters not the plot. But of course it will be good if you read the first two books first before this. But again, i love the third book the most.

The story include my fave character from the first book, which is Josh, a cartoonist, and i always love this kind of character for a male character. Artsy, cool, mysterious, yet romantic in some kind of way you know? I just can't say more, just read it!

 

3. An Abundance of Katherines by John Green

This one people! Is too underrated! I mean why??? i love this book yet it's too underrated.  This is John Green's second book that he published that i personally love more than Finding Alaska, his debut. I was questioning why this one didn't adapted to movie or series just like his other books, because i really like this one. 

Prodigy for math, fan of anagram, road trip to find The Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability as the post break-up effort to move on. The book is so unique with lots of mathematical theme in it. We got lots of graphs and formulas. Just like i always said, John Green always has his own theme for each of his creations. Which made them so unique. 


4. Selection Series by Kiera Cass

 This one would be a bit different since it's not a contemporary but a dystopian genre. But this book mostly focusing in love story. About royal prince who's searching his future queen with holding a "survival dating program" with each girl from each class (which the country itself divided into some classes of people by their job) and the last girl standing is the one who the prince will marry. 

"Break my heart. Break it a thousand times if you like it. It was only ever yours to break anyway." — Maxon —

I think it's more proper if i give you the most famous quote for this series. I love this series, but only the first three of it, since the fourth and the fifth is basically counted as the season two of this survival dating program because the main character is not the same from the first book but the children of the prince. This book has become the "common" book that you will find in almost every reader since it's so famous. So i think if you haven't read it, you must. Specially if you also into dystopian not just contemporary. 


Well, that's a wrap for this recommendations, like i said before, it's not the typical book recs that you would expect. Am i disappointing you? i hope not. I will do the next part in the future, let's pray that future is not that far ahead. See ya!
