Contemporary YA books

YA books are a rarity in this sub, but I hope to find some today!

I want recs similar to these YA books

{Better than the movies by Lynn Painter}
{Nothing like the movies by Lynn Painter}
{Fake skating by Lynn Painter}
{The way I used to be by Amber Smith}
{The way I am now by Amber smith}
{Call it what you want by Brigid Kemmerer}

Basically well written contemporary YA books set mostly in high school

No Dark romance please.

Thank you!

As the title states but I’d like anything from below:

  1. Accidental pregnancy, MMC reacts badly, FMC miscarries. An example of this is {This heart of Mine by Susan Elizabeth Philips} or a Natasha Anders Book.

  2. Accidental pregnancy, MMC reacts badly, grovels {Kiss an Angel by Susan Elizabeth Philips}

  3. Pregnancy false alarm, MMC reacts badly.
    (I haven’t read any so I’d be glad if I got recs on this)

Basically, the common denominator is MMC reacting badly because they don’t want/ are not ready for kids yet.

I’ve read a few HR based on this trope {A wicked kind of a husband by Mia Vincy} and I absolutely adored it.

Genre: H/R or CR and M/F

Hope my request is clear for yall.
Thanks!

My previous request didn’t get me a lot of response but I hope this one does.🤞

Like mentioned, the book needs to have a scene where the MMC is physically harmed. It could happen anytime but I’d prefer it if it happens when they’ve started dating. A fight, a car accident, sport injury. Anything.

I also came across this one scene recently, where the MMC and FMC have a fight, and he comes home to find the FMC has left him, and in a frenzy, he runs off to find her. In that state, he forgets the seatbelt, and well gets into a car accident which leaves him in a life or death situation. Here’s the fun part, the FMC doesn’t know about it and even when his family tries to reach her, he forces them to hide the severity of his injuries and masks it as concussion. He has to go through several PT to get his mobility back in his hands and feet. And even when he meets the FMC months later, she has no idea. I’d love it if it was something like this, but beggars can’t be choosers.

Another scene that comes to mind. Richard from {The contract by Melanie Moreland} gets into an accident in the sequels and turns snippy. That was great too.

I’d prefer if it was M/F contemporary or HR. Aside from that, the world’s your oyster!

Pretty excited to see what y’all come up with!!
