Coming up on young adult literature for the best of lists for 2023 was too hard so I had to create several categories including today’s romance, nonfiction, and fiction (but I’ll also throw in a few bonus titles too). Romance is having a moment and I’m here for it!
There are some names that wouldn’t surprise you to be on the list along with some newcomers. Each spans the categories of magical realism to realistic, features queer and straight characters, and even representation such as in the Deaf community, Judaism, and women in medicine (from way back!) Indulge!
