Recommendations

This is just a list of the very best that Junior Fiction, Young Adult and New Adult, in my opinion, has to offer. It’s a great starting place if you’re looking for something new to try and is by no means an exhaustive list – I have many, many more that I would also highly recommend – so check out my reviews or Goodreads page for more ideas.
