Delirium by Lauren OliverMy rating: ❤❤❤❤❤
Readers will be held spellbound by the captivating, intense and breathtakingly romantic novel that is Delirium by Lauren Oliver. In a world where love is a disease and banned for the safety of the people all Lena wants is to lay low and get a good score on her evaluation so she can set up a good life after she is cured, but when handsome Alex bursts into her life her falling love may just be inevitable. I loved everything about this book and it is hard to pick what I loved the most but in trying to provide an explanation of how amazing this book is I would pick the excerpts from the rewritten history books and laws at the beginning of every chapter. These excerpts make the world completely believable and really well built. Romance in this novel was amazing and made me feel all the feels! I have to say I have never been more on the edge of my seat with character development than with this book. I was crying and screaming at my book trying to tell the characters what to do! Of course everything was perfectly timed in this novel and Lauren Oliver may just be one of my new favorite authors. I would highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone because it is amazing!

4. Hot and Heavy, Mystery, Standalone, Contemporary
November 9th has the hands down best romance I have ever read. Delving into the more mature side of YA, Colleen Hoover's writing is the definition of hot and heavy and burning desire. The characters in November 9th are brimming with emotional damage and mystery. With the whole book revolving around one specific date shrouded with mystery and darkness readers are kept guessing and gasping until the end of the book. One benefit of November 9th is how it is both a contemporary and a standalone so it is perfect for when you are not in the mood to start a new series or trudge through world building.
November 9 by Colleen HooverMy rating: ❤❤❤❤❤
Readers will have their breath taken away by the heart wrenching mysterious romance that is November 9 by Colleen Hoover.

Ben an aspiring novelist with many buried secrets and when he meets Fallon on one fated November 9th they fall head over heels for each other. As the story progresses they meet once a year on November 9th and everything Fallon and Ben think is true starts to unravel. I loved the romance in this book. The writing was so spectacular that I felt like I was there in the book. The plot in this novel was so complex and amazing and all of the twists and turns were so unexpected and made the story rich and a complete page turner. I would highly recommend this book to any romance lovers. The romance is slightly mature and may not be appropriate for all readers. If there was a way to give a billion star rating I would!

5. Comical, Magical, Light Romance
Sometimes we all want a break from the heavy, stereotypical romances and we crave a little comedy. My Lady Jane will tweak your funny bone and give you a light sprinkling of sweet, honest romance. Combining magic, comedy and history there isn't much space for good romance and My Lady Jane handles it perfectly. With good friendships, hysterical arranged marriages and royalty My Lady Jane is perfect to ease into the world of YA romance.
My Lady Jane by Cynthia HandMy rating: ❤❤❤❤❤
My lady Jane by Cynthia Hand is the comical, magical story that you wish was in your history textbook. Lady Jane Grey is an outspoken book lover and cousin to the 16 year old King Edward. While most teenagers Edward's age would be focusing on when they will have their first kiss Edward has to deal with the fact that he is dying and he needs to set up his country for success after he is gone, which means marrying Jane off to G who is harboring more secrets than the fact that he is horse. I loved the hilarious interruptions from the narrators it made the story more engaging and less serious. The plot in this book being based off of history is very interesting and the magical elements of the story make the plot more engaging and surprisingly more believable. I would highly recommend this book to anyone of middle school to adult age and for history and magic lovers alike.
