#Discussion: 5 Books I'd Recommend to an Actual Teenage Girl

06 April 0 Comments
So hi. I am 25. I am not a teen. I still blog about YA books. It's all good. But today I'm going to tell you about the books I would recommend you purchasing or giving to someone who is pre-teen to teen because I think they have good story telling, characters, plot, and teach you something. This is not a definitive list and I probably have more that I would do but I usually get tired of finding links and stuff after 5 books, so that's why a lot of my lists are 5. Without further ado, let's get to it!


FOOLISH HEARTS

Author: Emma Mills
Series: N/A
Publisher: Henry Holt and Co
Publication Date: December 5, 2017
My Review!

Summary:
A contemporary novel about a girl whose high school production of A Midsummer Night's Dream leads her to new friends—and maybe even new love.

The day of the last party of the summer, Claudia overhears a conversation she wasn't supposed to. Now on the wrong side of one of the meanest girls in school, Claudia doesn't know what to expect when the two are paired up to write a paper—let alone when they're both forced to try out for the school production of A Midsummer Night's Dream.

But mandatory participation has its upsides—namely, an unexpected friendship, a boy band obsession, and a guy with the best dimpled smile Claudia's ever seen. As Claudia's world starts to expand, she finds that maybe there are some things worth sticking her neck out for.
Purchase:

Why I recommend it:

FOOLISH HEARTS has some of my favourite characters that Emma Mills has ever created. I love Claudia's character and the way that this story progresses. There is a great character study and you learn so much about high school pressures and how to overcome adversary. I just have such heart eyes for this book and would push it on everyone - but especially people struggling with their own identity.
