Paper Hangover asks the question What are your five favorite contemporary novels?
I love contemporary YA. I read plenty of fantasy and paranormal romance but when I pick up a contemporary YA it is like getting together with an old friend.
1. Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen- I always feel like I have so much in common with characters in a Sarah Dessen novel. This one reminded me of summers working at an ice cream store on the boardwalk.
2. The Earth, My Butt and Other Big Round Things by Carolyn Mackler
3. The Duff
4. Gingerbread by Rachel Cohn- I realize these books have been out for a while now but I still love them and pretty much anything by Rachel Cohn.
5. Looking for Alaska by John Green

I need to read more contemporary. Of your picks, I've only read the John Green. Will have to check the others out.
Happy Friday!
Wow that´s when I know I need to read more contemporary YA...the only one I read was "The Duff" and I enjoyed it :D
I have a few more on my TBR list thanks to you :-)
I can't believe I forgot Looking for Alaska. That one wrecked me. Though the second half was not as good as the first, imho.
Along for the Ride was on someone else's list too. I have two of Dessen's on my list, so I bet I would love that one, too!
LOOKING FOR ALASKA is on my desk waiting to be read. Soon. Very soon. :)
Great list! I really should read more contemporary.
All great choices! Esp, The Earth, My Butt and Gingerbread...nice to see those "oldies" but goodies on there!
Those all look good.
Oh my goodness, I love all of these! Especially Sarah Dessen's books. I reread all of them. :)
Ooh...all good ones. The DUFF took me by surprise bc I was sort of skeptical at first, but I totally enjoyed it. Have you read Kody's latest SHUT OUT?
Love your list. LOOKING FOR ALASKA is a great book!
