Heartstopper Volume 5 follows Nick and Charlie in their relationship. This is a story about gay love and two characters struggling with mental health together. They go through struggles such as what happens when college separates us two and how to grow into their relationship together. This is the fifth of the series so read the first four before this one!
The Selection is the perfect dystopian book if you love high society and competition. If you're looking for an easy read this is it. This book follows the main character American Singer and her journey competing for the crown. Although the names in this book might not be creative the plot pulls you in making you want to read more. By the end of the first book in this trilogy I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the second book.
Beyah is a teeneager forced to spend the summer at her—absent through most of her life—dad’s beach house, with his new family.

She feels out of place, especially around the guy who really caught her eye, Samson. As they spend more time together, their emotional connection grows and grows. But something is holding them back, and on top of that, their relationship is built on secrets. I, simply put, loved this book. It is a relatable book for teenagers.

One of my all time favorite books! This book follows Macy and Elliot. After the death of Macy’s mother, she is struggling. That is when she meets Elliot. This book follows their growing friendship and love. Until they fall apart. But with a duel timeline, you are also able to read about their rekindling. You are able to see how they gain back what they lost. Their friendship is beautifully written and you get very connected to the characters. It did take me a little to get into the book, but once I got a couple chapters in, I could not put the book down!

Midnight Sun is the first novel in the Twilight saga from Edward’s point of view. It is very interesting to see the story through Edward because he has so many conflicting thoughts about Bella and her well-being around him. I would suggest reading this book after you finish reading the entire Twilight saga because it will help patch up some holes left in the story after the last book. My favorite part of this story is Edward’s protectiveness towards Bella and she doesn’t even know it.
As you continue to read the story, you will notice a lot of ups and downs during America’s and Maxon relationship. They constantly fight and it’s almost as if nothing really happened in the second book because America decides to shut down. There wasn’t as much content in this book as the first one, but I will say it was pretty good. Again the author does a great job at writing it in the perspective of a girl who has a temper, you could really feel the anger inside of America when reading from her POV. And sometimes you just really want to punch Maxon in the face.
