[CW: rape, sexual assault]
Of course I have to start with FOUL IS FAIR by Hannah Capin. This book, a Macbeth retelling about a girl seeking to kill every boy who led to her rape, is WILD. Recommend for anyone who loves girls who are unapologetic. https://bookshop.org/a/5702/9781250239549

Another longtime favorite is WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOU by @marisakanter! This one's about a love triangle with a book blogger, her cute online friend, and...herself. Lots of books, cupcakes, and the only non-annoying little brother in YA. https://bookshop.org/a/5702/9781534445772
ONE OF US IS NEXT by @writerkmc is fun yet incisive, and continues Karen's reputation of a thriller writer who delivers twists while showing care for her characters. https://bookshop.org/a/5702/9780525707967
RUTHLESS GODS by @glitzandshadows is a sprawling horror story disguised as fantasy. It's weird and Slavic and GOOD. https://bookshop.org/a/5702/9781250195692
Next up is TIME OF OUR LIVES, the latest make-me-cry romance from @Wibbs_Ink and @ASiegemundBroka. In this one, a college road trip changes the fates of two teenagers who end up falling for each other, despite their VERY opposite viewpoints. https://bookshop.org/a/5702/9781984835833
Writers: hands down the best craft and publishing book I've read is BEFORE AND AFTER THE BOOK DEAL by Courtney Maum. It covers everything, including what you don't think you need to hear until you do. https://bookshop.org/a/5702/9781948226400
THE MAJESTIES by Tiffany Tsao is like a dark version of Crazy Rich Asians, and opens with the protagonist's sister poisoning their entire family at a gathering. https://bookshop.org/a/5702/9781982115500
MY DARK VANESSA by Kate Elizabeth Russell is hands down one of the best books I've ever read. Beautiful, haunting, and questioning, it explores a young woman's trauma and darkness in ways that aren't shown in most stories. https://bookshop.org/a/5702/9780062941503
ANNA K...oh, Anna K. This book is a glitzy retelling of Anna Karenina, and it's like GOSSIP GIRL meets CRAZY RICH ASIANS only it slaps harder than both https://bookshop.org/a/5702/9781250236432
DARLING ROSE GOLD stars a mother who made her daughter think she was sick her whole life, and what happens when mother comes back and daughter can fight back.
It's like if homegirl from Everything, Everything went batshit rather than running to Hawaii. https://bookshop.org/books/darling-rose-gold/9780593100066

BURN OUR BODIES DOWN by @itsrorypower, aka Corn Book, is another book about mother/daughter relationships. Plenty of horror, body horror, and That Gay Shit. https://bookshop.org/a/5702/9780525645627
