Not all of these books are hidden gems, but I do think all of them deserved more buzz and attention then they received. I loved all of these stories and am always excited when someone else discovers one of these beautiful YA contemporary gems.
Born Confused, by Tanuja Desai Hidier
Kissing Ted Callahan (and Other Guys), by Amy Spalding
Truest, by Jackie Lea Sommers
Love and Other Theories, by Alexis Bass
Trouble, by Non Pratt
The Distance Between Lost and Found, by Kathryn Holmes
Sometimes I just need a good YA Contemporary. I usually prefer fantasy but that can be overwhelming sometimes. I’ll be sure to check these out. Thanks!!!
I’ve been wanting to get my hands on Born Confused! Great list!
Thank you! I love that one. There is one scene late in the book that I think about all the time, even though I read it years ago!

Good list. I haven`t heard of a lot of these, but this summer I really got into YA contemporary books and want to read more in that genre.

I haven’t heard of most of these! I do want to read Trouble but I find the cover slightly offputting!

I haven’t read most of these, but I LOVED Girl Out of Water. Such a cute and fun read!! I’ll have to check out the others on this list 🙂
So many good books here today! My TBR overfloweth.

I keep seeing “Wildflower” pop up for me lately! I’m pretty sure it’s a sign that I need to read it. 😀
