That said, here are some lovely contemporary books I've added to my TBR recently.
Words in Deep Blue by Cath Crowley - I LOVE CATH CROWLEY and also this one sounds so charming and bookish and everything I want from a contemporary book.
When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Manon - I've heard wonderful things about this. It also focuses on a culture I'm not well-acquainted with. Plus, it just sounds fun and cute and THERE IS COFFEE ON THE COVER.
I See London, I See France by Sarah Mylnowski - This one not only involves traveling throughout Europe (my wanderlust is off the charts lately) but it also seems like it's going to delve into what it's like to have a loved one with mental illness and loving the wrong person and dealing with toxic friendships and that all just sounds tasty.
Eliza and Her Monsters by Francesca Zappia - This includes a trope I always adore: when a character is famous online but not really in real life, but then the world collide. So I'm excited. And it has mixed media!! ALSO A FEMALE WEBCOMIC WRITER WHOOOO.
Seven Days of You by Cecilia Vinesse - Again, traveling! But this time to Tokyo, which I haven't seen a lot of in YA novels. The romance also sounds really interesting. I love the whole "old flames reuniting" thing.
One of Us Is Lying by Karen N. McManus - This one just sounds interesting an exciting! It seems kinda soft-core thriller.
Alex, Approximately by Jenn Bennett - I've heard really great things about this book, and honestly it just sounds SO CUTE. It also brings up something I think is especially relevant for book bloggers: online persona vs. IRL personality.
Girl out of Water by Laura Silverman - This is another one I've heard nothing but positivity about. I feel like it's going to be relatable and different than a lot of other contemporary books I've read.
The Color Project by Sierra Abrams - LOOK AT THAT COVER IT'S GORGEOUS. As an aspiring philanthropist, I think it's really neat that this focuses on a charity organization. It's was pitched for fans of Stephanie Perkins and Morgan Matson--I AM HERE FOR THAT.
Windfall by Jennifer E. Smith - Admittedly, I'm not as excited about this one as I am the other books on this list, but it's a book I've been seeing around the book community lately, and it sounds interesting enough. And I've really never read anything like it before, so I wouldn't be mad about getting my hands on a copy.
