This near-future world that has been twisted by one small change will appeal to readers who love the speculative elements of Arc of a Scythe with plenty of action on the side.</p> </div> <footer> <div class="buy-book"> <h2>Buy the Book</h2> <ul class="retail-links"> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Amazon', 'book_isbn': '9781481496339', 'book_title': 'This Mortal Coil' });" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1481496344?tag=rivetedlit-20" title="Buy This Mortal Coil on Amazon" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/amazon.svg" alt="Amazon logo" title="Buy This Mortal Coil on Amazon" /></a></li> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Barnes & Noble', 'book_isbn': '9781481496339', 'book_title': 'This Mortal Coil' });" href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-7567305-11819508?SID=simonsayscom&url=http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/?ean=9781481496346" title="Buy This Mortal Coil on Barnes & Noble" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/barnes.svg" alt="Barnes & Noble logo" title="Buy This Mortal Coil on Barnes & Noble" /></a></li> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Books a Million', 'book_isbn': '9781481496339', 'book_title': 'This Mortal Coil' });" href="http://www.booksamillion.com/p/9781481496346" title="Buy This Mortal Coil on Books a Million" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/books_a_million.svg" alt="Books a Million logo" title="Buy This Mortal Coil on Books a Million" /></a></li> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Google Play', 'book_isbn': '9781481496339', 'book_title': 'This Mortal Coil' });" href="https://play.google.com/store/books/details/Emily_Suvada_This_Mortal_Coil?id=Jq6uDgAAQBAJ&PAffiliateId=110l3H&PCamRefID=thismortalcoil_9781481496353_sscom" title="Buy This Mortal Coil on Google Play" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/google_play.svg" alt="Google Play logo" title="Buy This Mortal Coil on Google Play" /></a></li> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'iBooks', 'book_isbn': '9781481496339', 'book_title': 'This Mortal Coil' });" href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/isbn9781481496353?at=10lrBC&ct=thismortalcoil_9781481496353_sscom&uo=8" title="Buy This Mortal Coil on iBooks" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/ibooks.svg" alt="iBooks logo" title="Buy This Mortal Coil on iBooks" /></a></li> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Bookshop', 'book_isbn': '9781481496339', 'book_title': 'This Mortal Coil' });" href="https://bookshop.org/a/1688/9781481496339" title="Buy This Mortal Coil on Bookshop" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/bookshop.svg" alt="Bookshop logo" title="Buy This Mortal Coil on Bookshop" /></a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="your-shelf"> <h2>Book Shelf</h2> <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/isbn/9781481496339" class="goodreads" target="_blank">Add to GoodReads</a> </div> </footer> </section> </div> <div class="book" data-isbn="9781442402324"> <figure> <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/rot-ruin/"> <img loading="lazy" src="https://d28hgpri8am2if.cloudfront.net/book_images/cvr9781442402324_9781442402324.jpg" alt="Rot & Ruin cover image" /> </a> </figure> <section class="book-info"> <header> <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/rot-ruin/" class="book-title">Rot & Ruin</a> by <a href="http://authors.simonandschuster.com:80/Jonathan-Maberry/67600213">Jonathan Maberry</a> </header> <div class="book-description"> <p>The Rot & Ruin series is another great pick for anyone who appreciated the speculative/horror/adventure combination from Arc of a Scythe.

Definitely not at home—his dad’s politics and toxic masculinity make a real connection impossible. He thought he fit in on the baseball team, but that’s only because he was pretending to be someone he wasn’t. And then, Mac meets Flor, who shows him that you can be both fierce and kind, and Mikey, who is superhot and might maybe think the same about him. Told in Mac’s infectious, joyful, gay AF voice, <i>Hot Boy Summer </i>serves a tale as important as hope itself: four gay teens doing what they can to connect and have the fiercest summer of their lives. New friendships will be forged, hot boys will be kissed…and girl, the toxic will be detoxed. </div> <footer> <div class="buy-book"> <h2>Buy the Book</h2> <ul class="retail-links"> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Amazon', 'book_isbn': '9781665932059', 'book_title': 'Hot Boy Summer' });" href="https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1665932058?tag=rivetedlit-20" title="Buy Hot Boy Summer on Amazon" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/amazon.svg" alt="Amazon logo" title="Buy Hot Boy Summer on Amazon" /></a></li> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Barnes & Noble', 'book_isbn': '9781665932059', 'book_title': 'Hot Boy Summer' });" href="https://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-7567305-11819508?SID=simonsayscom&url=http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/?ean=9781665932059" title="Buy Hot Boy Summer on Barnes & Noble" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/barnes.svg" alt="Barnes & Noble logo" title="Buy Hot Boy Summer on Barnes & Noble" /></a></li> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Books a Million', 'book_isbn': '9781665932059', 'book_title': 'Hot Boy Summer' });" href="https://www.booksamillion.com/p/9781665932059" title="Buy Hot Boy Summer on Books a Million" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/books_a_million.svg" alt="Books a Million logo" title="Buy Hot Boy Summer on Books a Million" /></a></li> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Bookshop', 'book_isbn': '9781665932059', 'book_title': 'Hot Boy Summer' });" href="https://bookshop.org/a/1688/9781665932059" title="Buy Hot Boy Summer on Bookshop" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/bookshop.svg" alt="Bookshop logo" title="Buy Hot Boy Summer on Bookshop" /></a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="your-shelf"> <h2>Book Shelf</h2> <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/isbn/9781665932059" class="goodreads" target="_blank">Add to GoodReads</a> </div> </footer> </section> </div> <div class="book" data-isbn="9781534439900"> <figure> <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/we-are-the-wildcats/"> <img loading="lazy" src="https://d28hgpri8am2if.cloudfront.net/book_images/onix/cvr9781534439900/we-are-the-wildcats-9781534439900_xlg.jpg" alt="We Are the Wildcats cover image" /> </a> </figure> <section class="book-info"> <header> <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/we-are-the-wildcats/" class="book-title">We Are the Wildcats</a> by <a href="https://www.simonandschuster.com/authors/Siobhan-Vivian/84455487">Siobhan Vivian</a> </header> <div class="book-description"> Nothing unites a found family like a common enemy. The girls of the Wildcats hockey team probably spend more time together than with their biological families, and they are geared up for their traditional night of bonding to celebrate a new season. The new girls are eager to make a good impression, and the old guard are stressed about college scouts, injuries, and squabbles amongst themselves. But when they figure out that their charismatic coach might be manipulating them, they have to put aside everything else and fight the real enemy. The night is young, their coach isn’t here, and this team has each other’s backs, no matter what. </div> <footer> <div class="buy-book"> <h2>Buy the Book</h2> <ul class="retail-links"> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Amazon', 'book_isbn': '9781534439900', 'book_title': 'We Are the Wildcats' });" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1534439900?tag=rivetedlit-20" title="Buy We Are the Wildcats on Amazon" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/amazon.svg" alt="Amazon logo" title="Buy We Are the Wildcats on Amazon" /></a></li> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Barnes & Noble', 'book_isbn': '9781534439900', 'book_title': 'We Are the Wildcats' });" href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-7567305-11819508?SID=simonsayscom&url=http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/?ean=9781534439900" title="Buy We Are the Wildcats on Barnes & Noble" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/barnes.svg" alt="Barnes & Noble logo" title="Buy We Are the Wildcats on Barnes & Noble" /></a></li> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Books a Million', 'book_isbn': '9781534439900', 'book_title': 'We Are the Wildcats' });" href="http://www.booksamillion.com/p/9781534439900" title="Buy We Are the Wildcats on Books a Million" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/books_a_million.svg" alt="Books a Million logo" title="Buy We Are the Wildcats on Books a Million" /></a></li> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Bookshop', 'book_isbn': '9781534439900', 'book_title': 'We Are the Wildcats' });" href="https://bookshop.org/a/1688/9781534439900" title="Buy We Are the Wildcats on Bookshop" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/bookshop.svg" alt="Bookshop logo" title="Buy We Are the Wildcats on Bookshop" /></a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="your-shelf"> <h2>Book Shelf</h2> <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/isbn/9781534439900" class="goodreads" target="_blank">Add to GoodReads</a> </div> </footer> </section> </div> <div class="book" data-isbn="9781665918138"> <figure> <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/daughters-of-oduma/"> <img loading="lazy" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/uploads/2022/06/Daughters-of-Oduma-final-front-cover.jpg" alt="Daughters of Oduma cover image" /> </a> </figure> <section class="book-info"> <header> <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/daughters-of-oduma/" class="book-title">Daughters of Oduma</a> by <a href="https://www.simonandschuster.com/authors/Moses-Ose-Utomi/190095868">Moses Ose Utomi</a> </header> <div class="book-description"> This is the life of the girls who compete in the Isle’s elite, all-female fighting sport of Bowing. But it isn’t really Dirt’s life anymore. Sixteen-year-old Dirt is old and has retired from the elite, all-female fighting sport of Bowing and spends her days coaching the younger sisters of the Mud Fam instead. Dirt’s young sisters are coming along nicely, and the Mud Fam is sure to win a crucial upcoming tournament, but when an attack from a powerful rival leaves them without their top Bower, Dirt is the only one who can compete.

Even though Veronyka couldn’t rely on her sister, she finds a true family with her fellow phoenix riders. </div> <footer> <div class="buy-book"> <h2>Buy the Book</h2> <ul class="retail-links"> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Amazon', 'book_isbn': '9781534424623', 'book_title': 'Crown of Feathers' });" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1534424628?tag=rivetedlit-20" title="Buy Crown of Feathers on Amazon" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/amazon.svg" alt="Amazon logo" title="Buy Crown of Feathers on Amazon" /></a></li> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Barnes & Noble', 'book_isbn': '9781534424623', 'book_title': 'Crown of Feathers' });" href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-7567305-11819508?SID=simonsayscom&url=http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/?ean=9781534424623" title="Buy Crown of Feathers on Barnes & Noble" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/barnes.svg" alt="Barnes & Noble logo" title="Buy Crown of Feathers on Barnes & Noble" /></a></li> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Books a Million', 'book_isbn': '9781534424623', 'book_title': 'Crown of Feathers' });" href="http://www.booksamillion.com/p/9781534424623" title="Buy Crown of Feathers on Books a Million" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/books_a_million.svg" alt="Books a Million logo" title="Buy Crown of Feathers on Books a Million" /></a></li> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Bookshop', 'book_isbn': '9781534424623', 'book_title': 'Crown of Feathers' });" href="https://bookshop.org/a/1688/9781534424623" title="Buy Crown of Feathers on Bookshop" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/bookshop.svg" alt="Bookshop logo" title="Buy Crown of Feathers on Bookshop" /></a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="your-shelf"> <h2>Book Shelf</h2> <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/isbn/9781534424623" class="goodreads" target="_blank">Add to GoodReads</a> </div> </footer> </section> </div> </div> </section> <footer class="content-container"> <div class="related-posts"> <h2>More to Discover!</h2> <div class="related-posts"> <div class="post"> <figure> <a href="https://simonteen.com/2023/03/22/contemporary-fantasy-books-that-are-must-reads/"> <img width="155" height="155" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/uploads/2017/08/Fantasy-books-155x155.jpg" class="attachment-st_post_list size-st_post_list wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /> </a> </figure> <div class="post-info"> <div class="category"><a href="https://simonteen.com/category/booklist/">Book List</a></div> <div class="post-title"><a href="https://simonteen.com/2023/03/22/contemporary-fantasy-books-that-are-must-reads/">Contemporary Fantasy Books That Are Must-Reads!</a></div> <div class="meta"><div class="post-date">March 22, 2023</div> <a href="https://simonteen.com/profile/carolineo/" title="Posts by Caroline Osborn" class="author url fn" rel="author">Caroline Osborn</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </footer> </article> <article> <header> <figure> <img width="1320" height="360" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/uploads/2019/02/book-1421097_1920-1320x360.jpg" class="attachment-st_post_single size-st_post_single wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /> </figure> <div class="content-container"> <h2><a href="https://simonteen.com/2024/03/12/books-to-read-for-womens-history-month/" title="Read more on Books to Read for Women’s History Month">Books to Read for Women’s History Month</a></h2> <div class="meta"> <div class="category"><a href="https://simonteen.com/category/booklist/">Book List</a></div> | <div class="date">March 12, 2024</div> <div class="byline">By <a href="https://simonteen.com/profile/carolineo/" title="Posts by Caroline Osborn" rel="author">Caroline Osborn</a></div> </div> </div> </header> <section class="content-container"> <div class="post-content"> <p>Did you know that Women’s History Month began as Women’s History…Week?

Margarita’s childhood straddled two worlds: the lush, welcoming island of Cuba and the lonely reality of Los Angeles.

Chessy Prout was a freshman at a prestigious boarding school in New Hampshire when a senior boy sexually assaulted her as part of a ritualized game of conquest. Chessy bravely reported the assault and testified against her attacker in court. When she faced unexpected backlash from her once-trusted school, she shed her anonymity to help other survivors find their voices. In her memoir, she offers real, powerful solutions to upend rape culture and gives words of hope in the face of unspeakable trauma.</p> </div> <footer> <div class="buy-book"> <h2>Buy the Book</h2> <ul class="retail-links"> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Amazon', 'book_isbn': '9781534414433', 'book_title': 'I Have the Right To' });" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1534414436?tag=rivetedlit-20" title="Buy I Have the Right To on Amazon" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/amazon.svg" alt="Amazon logo" title="Buy I Have the Right To on Amazon" /></a></li> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Barnes & Noble', 'book_isbn': '9781534414433', 'book_title': 'I Have the Right To' });" href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-7567305-11819508?SID=simonsayscom&url=http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/?ean=9781534414433" title="Buy I Have the Right To on Barnes & Noble" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/barnes.svg" alt="Barnes & Noble logo" title="Buy I Have the Right To on Barnes & Noble" /></a></li> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Books a Million', 'book_isbn': '9781534414433', 'book_title': 'I Have the Right To' });" href="http://www.booksamillion.com/p/9781534414433" title="Buy I Have the Right To on Books a Million" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/books_a_million.svg" alt="Books a Million logo" title="Buy I Have the Right To on Books a Million" /></a></li> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Google Play', 'book_isbn': '9781534414433', 'book_title': 'I Have the Right To' });" href="https://play.google.com/store/books/details/Chessy_Prout_I_Have_the_Right_To?id=FLkmDwAAQBAJ&PAffiliateId=110l3H&PCamRefID=ihavetherightto_9781534414457_sscom" title="Buy I Have the Right To on Google Play" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/google_play.svg" alt="Google Play logo" title="Buy I Have the Right To on Google Play" /></a></li> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'iBooks', 'book_isbn': '9781534414433', 'book_title': 'I Have the Right To' });" href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/isbn9781534414457?at=10lrBC&ct=ihavetherightto_9781534414457_sscom&uo=8" title="Buy I Have the Right To on iBooks" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/ibooks.svg" alt="iBooks logo" title="Buy I Have the Right To on iBooks" /></a></li> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Bookshop', 'book_isbn': '9781534414433', 'book_title': 'I Have the Right To' });" href="https://bookshop.org/a/1688/9781534414433" title="Buy I Have the Right To on Bookshop" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/bookshop.svg" alt="Bookshop logo" title="Buy I Have the Right To on Bookshop" /></a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="your-shelf"> <h2>Book Shelf</h2> <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/isbn/9781534414433" class="goodreads" target="_blank">Add to GoodReads</a> </div> </footer> </section> </div> <div class="book" data-isbn="9781534419322"> <figure> <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/what-every-girl-should-know/"> <img loading="lazy" src="https://d28hgpri8am2if.cloudfront.net/book_images/onix/cvr9781534419322/what-every-girl-should-know-9781534419322.jpg" alt="What Every Girl Should Know cover image" /> </a> </figure> <section class="book-info"> <header> <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/what-every-girl-should-know/" class="book-title">What Every Girl Should Know</a> by <a href="http://www.simonandschuster.com/authors/J-Albert-Mann/100366512">J.

She grew up with limited means, and she witnessed and experienced incredible hardships early in life. But all of this led to her groundbreaking work as an advocate for women’s health, most notably founding Planned Parenthood in 1916. This fiery novelization of Margaret’s early life introduces us to a young woman with the passion and courage to change the world.</p> </div> <footer> <div class="buy-book"> <h2>Buy the Book</h2> <ul class="retail-links"> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Amazon', 'book_isbn': '9781534419322', 'book_title': 'What Every Girl Should Know' });" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1534419322?tag=rivetedlit-20" title="Buy What Every Girl Should Know on Amazon" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/amazon.svg" alt="Amazon logo" title="Buy What Every Girl Should Know on Amazon" /></a></li> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Barnes & Noble', 'book_isbn': '9781534419322', 'book_title': 'What Every Girl Should Know' });" href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-7567305-11819508?SID=simonsayscom&url=http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/?ean=9781534419322" title="Buy What Every Girl Should Know on Barnes & Noble" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/barnes.svg" alt="Barnes & Noble logo" title="Buy What Every Girl Should Know on Barnes & Noble" /></a></li> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Books a Million', 'book_isbn': '9781534419322', 'book_title': 'What Every Girl Should Know' });" href="http://www.booksamillion.com/p/9781534419322" title="Buy What Every Girl Should Know on Books a Million" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/books_a_million.svg" alt="Books a Million logo" title="Buy What Every Girl Should Know on Books a Million" /></a></li> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Bookshop', 'book_isbn': '9781534419322', 'book_title': 'What Every Girl Should Know' });" href="https://bookshop.org/a/1688/9781534419322" title="Buy What Every Girl Should Know on Bookshop" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/bookshop.svg" alt="Bookshop logo" title="Buy What Every Girl Should Know on Bookshop" /></a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="your-shelf"> <h2>Book Shelf</h2> <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/isbn/9781534419322" class="goodreads" target="_blank">Add to GoodReads</a> </div> </footer> </section> </div> <div class="book" data-isbn="9781534418554"> <figure> <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/limitless/"> <img loading="lazy" src="https://d28hgpri8am2if.cloudfront.net/book_images/onix/cvr9781534418554/limitless-9781534418554.jpg" alt="Limitless cover image" /> </a> </figure> <section class="book-info"> <header> <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/limitless/" class="book-title">Limitless</a> by <a href="http://www.simonandschuster.com/authors/Leah-Tinari/100284105">Leah Tinari</a> </header> <div class="book-description"> <p class="p1">Gaze upon this stunning cover!

Short chapters, lyrical language, and a deft shift from straight contemporary into something otherworldly make this a standout that you won’t want to miss.</p> </div> <footer> <div class="buy-book"> <h2>Buy the Book</h2> <ul class="retail-links"> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Amazon', 'book_isbn': '9781534448636', 'book_title': 'Sia Martinez and the Moonlit Beginning of Everything' });" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1534448632?tag=rivetedlit-20" title="Buy Sia Martinez and the Moonlit Beginning of Everything on Amazon" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/amazon.svg" alt="Amazon logo" title="Buy Sia Martinez and the Moonlit Beginning of Everything on Amazon" /></a></li> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Barnes & Noble', 'book_isbn': '9781534448636', 'book_title': 'Sia Martinez and the Moonlit Beginning of Everything' });" href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-7567305-11819508?SID=simonsayscom&url=http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/?ean=9781534448636" title="Buy Sia Martinez and the Moonlit Beginning of Everything on Barnes & Noble" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/barnes.svg" alt="Barnes & Noble logo" title="Buy Sia Martinez and the Moonlit Beginning of Everything on Barnes & Noble" /></a></li> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Books a Million', 'book_isbn': '9781534448636', 'book_title': 'Sia Martinez and the Moonlit Beginning of Everything' });" href="http://www.booksamillion.com/p/9781534448636" title="Buy Sia Martinez and the Moonlit Beginning of Everything on Books a Million" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/books_a_million.svg" alt="Books a Million logo" title="Buy Sia Martinez and the Moonlit Beginning of Everything on Books a Million" /></a></li> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Bookshop', 'book_isbn': '9781534448636', 'book_title': 'Sia Martinez and the Moonlit Beginning of Everything' });" href="https://bookshop.org/a/1688/9781534448636" title="Buy Sia Martinez and the Moonlit Beginning of Everything on Bookshop" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/bookshop.svg" alt="Bookshop logo" title="Buy Sia Martinez and the Moonlit Beginning of Everything on Bookshop" /></a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="your-shelf"> <h2>Book Shelf</h2> <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/isbn/9781534448636" class="goodreads" target="_blank">Add to GoodReads</a> </div> </footer> </section> </div> <div class="book" data-isbn="9781534404953"> <figure> <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/slayer/"> <img loading="lazy" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/uploads/2018/06/71XZNvE8kZL._SL1500_.jpg" alt="Slayer cover image" /> </a> </figure> <section class="book-info"> <header> <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/slayer/" class="book-title">Slayer</a> by <a href="http://www.simonandschuster.com/authors/Kiersten-White/2129755316">Kiersten White</a> </header> <div class="book-description"> <p>Calling all Buffy fans!

The bleakness of their real lives contrasts with the whimsy of the fabulism that just might save them both.</p> </div> <footer> <div class="buy-book"> <h2>Buy the Book</h2> <ul class="retail-links"> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Amazon', 'book_isbn': '9781481481762', 'book_title': 'The Boy and Girl Who Broke the World' });" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1481481762?tag=rivetedlit-20" title="Buy The Boy and Girl Who Broke the World on Amazon" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/amazon.svg" alt="Amazon logo" title="Buy The Boy and Girl Who Broke the World on Amazon" /></a></li> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Barnes & Noble', 'book_isbn': '9781481481762', 'book_title': 'The Boy and Girl Who Broke the World' });" href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-7567305-11819508?SID=simonsayscom&url=http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/?ean=9781481481762" title="Buy The Boy and Girl Who Broke the World on Barnes & Noble" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/barnes.svg" alt="Barnes & Noble logo" title="Buy The Boy and Girl Who Broke the World on Barnes & Noble" /></a></li> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Books a Million', 'book_isbn': '9781481481762', 'book_title': 'The Boy and Girl Who Broke the World' });" href="http://www.booksamillion.com/p/9781481481762" title="Buy The Boy and Girl Who Broke the World on Books a Million" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/books_a_million.svg" alt="Books a Million logo" title="Buy The Boy and Girl Who Broke the World on Books a Million" /></a></li> <li><a target="_blank" onclick="window.dataLayer.push({'event': 'retailerLinkClicked', 'book_retailer': 'Bookshop', 'book_isbn': '9781481481762', 'book_title': 'The Boy and Girl Who Broke the World' });" href="https://bookshop.org/a/1688/9781481481762" title="Buy The Boy and Girl Who Broke the World on Bookshop" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/plugins/bookmanager/assets/img/bookshop.svg" alt="Bookshop logo" title="Buy The Boy and Girl Who Broke the World on Bookshop" /></a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="your-shelf"> <h2>Book Shelf</h2> <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/isbn/9781481481762" class="goodreads" target="_blank">Add to GoodReads</a> </div> </footer> </section> </div> <div class="book" data-isbn="9781534474574"> <figure> <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/vampires-hearts-other-dead-things/"> <img loading="lazy" src="https://d28hgpri8am2if.cloudfront.net/book_images/onix/cvr9781534474574/vampires-hearts-other-dead-things-9781534474574_xlg.jpg" alt="Vampires, Hearts & Other Dead Things cover image" /> </a> </figure> <section class="book-info"> <header> <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/vampires-hearts-other-dead-things/" class="book-title">Vampires, Hearts & Other Dead Things</a> by <a href="https://www.simonandschuster.com/authors/Margie-Fuston/169864175">Margie Fuston</a> </header> <div class="book-description"> <p>Victoria and her dad have shared a love of the undead since the first vampire revealed his existence on live TV.

If you’re looking for a fantasy heroine who will make you feel stronger, braver, or better understood, you just might find her on this list.</p> <h1>15 YA Fantasy Heroines You Need to Meet</h1> <h2>1. Bree in <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/legendborn/"><em>Legendborn</em></a> by Tracy Deonn</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-27023" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/uploads/2020/06/legendborn-9781534441606_xlg-2.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="531" /></p> <p>Fueled by grief over her mother’s mysterious death, Bree Matthews enrolls in an Early College program on the campus of UNC Chapel Hill and discovers a secret society of descendants of King Arthur’s Round Table—and complicated answers about her mom. Bree is an easy protagonist to love. Strong, brave, and complex, she dishes out the most excellent comebacks and has charming banter with just about everyone she talks to. Even when she faces discrimination as one of the only Black girls at the school, she isn’t afraid to speak up against unfair treatment. Once you’ve read <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/legendborn/"><em>Legendborn</em></a>, continue Bree’s story in the next book in the Legendborn Cycle, <em><a href="https://simonteen.com/book/bloodmarked/">Bloodmarked</a>!</em></p> <h2>2. Cordelia in <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/chain-of-gold/"><em>Chain of Gold</em></a> by Cassandra Clare</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-28936" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/uploads/2021/08/chain-of-gold-9781481431880_xlg.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="525" /></p> <p>To escape a scandal, Cordelia’s family flees to London, where she immediately falls in love with a Herondale. Relatable! She doesn’t take her status as a Shadowhunter for granted, and she works hard to protect those she loves, especially her big brother, Alastair. She knows how to stand up for herself, and she is savvy enough to make good choices (usually). Plus, if you needed any more proof of how awesome she is, the legendary sword Cortana chose Cordelia to be its bearer. You can’t argue with a magical sword. Continue Cordelia’s story in the next book in the Last Hours series, <em><a href="https://simonteen.com/book/chain-of-iron/">Chain of Iron</a>!</em></p> <h2>3. Dirt in <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/daughters-of-oduma/"><em>Daughters of Oduma</em></a> by Moses Ose Utomi</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-31918 " src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/uploads/2022/06/Daughters-of-Oduma-final-front-cover.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="604" /></p> <p>At sixteen, Dirt is old and has retired from competition as an elite female fighter. Instead, she spends her days coaching the younger sisters of the Mud Fam. Her sisters, the Mud Fam, are coming along nicely, but when an attack from a powerful rival leaves the Mud without their top Bower, Dirt is the only one who can compete in the tournament. Victory seems impossible—yet defeat would mean the end of her beloved Fam. And no way is Dirt going to let that happen.</p> <h2>4. Rue in <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/wings-of-ebony/"><em>Wings of Ebony</em></a> by J. Elle</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-25830" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/uploads/2020/06/wings-of-ebony-9781534470675_xlg.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="527" /></p> <p>After her mother is killed on her doorstep in Houston, Rue’s estranged father appears to take her away to the magical land of Ghizon. But despite the excitement of magic, Rue feels like an outsider in Ghizon and misses her community and her little sister. With a distinct voice that you won’t be able to get out of your head, Rue is brave and bold but also vulnerable. She feels everything deeply and unapologetically. She knows she doesn’t have all the answers, but she’s always ready to fight for her loved ones and her community. Finish Rue’s story in <em><a href="https://simonteen.com/book/ashes-of-gold/">Ashes of Gold</a>, </em>the sequel to <em><a href="https://simonteen.com/book/wings-of-ebony/">Wings of Ebony</a>.</em></p> <h2>5.

Now, its sassy, snarky voice lives in her head full-time, and she becomes a Vespertine, a wielder of a revenant. Artemisia doesn’t like to be the center of attention, which makes her status as a living legend difficult. It has never been easy for her to make friends or hold eye contact without feeling uncomfortable, but the revenant has a way of helping her feel at ease—when the two of them aren’t bantering inside her head, that is. Anyone who loves <em>Venom</em> will delight in the relationship that blossoms between Artemisia and her revenant.</p> <h2>6. Juliette in <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/these-violent-delights/"><em>These Violent Delights</em></a> by Chloe Gong</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-27314" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/uploads/2021/02/these-violent-delights-9781534457690_xlg.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="528" /></p> <p>Heir to a deadly gang in 1920s Shanghai, Juliette Cai is a refreshing departure from a traditional heroine—she’s prickly, aloof, and merciless, and we love her for it. Despite her tough exterior, she still nurses a secret soft spot for Roma Montague, heir to her rival gang, in this forbidden romance inspired by <em>Romeo and Juliet</em>. Find out what happens next for Roma and Juliette in <em><a href="https://simonteen.com/book/our-violent-ends/">Our Violent Ends</a>! </em></p> <h2>7.

She is still grieving her brother, who was murdered under strange circumstances, and she wants to learn more than Haxahaven is willing to teach her. It isn’t long before she’s taking risks and bending the rules. We can’t look away from this character who’s willing to make daring moves.

Nami teams up with a rebel group to overthrow this overlord, and her talent for empathy becomes her greatest asset and sets her apart from the other rebels. She is uniquely able to see all sides of a conflict and is determined to find a solution that doesn’t harm anyone.</p> <h2>10.

She is an animage, which means she has a special connection to animals, including the majestic phoenixes. Because she grew up controlled by her older sister, Veronyka doesn’t have much experience navigating the world for herself. But her awe of the phoenixes and her willingness to train hard to become a rider help her learn how to stand up for herself—including standing up to her sister when she goes full antagonist.</p> <h2>11.

She can only remember the past five years, but in that time she hasn’t aged and accidents that should have killed her left her unscathed. She is desperate to find out who she is, where she came from, and why her body seems unable to die. When a young man promises answers in exchange for her participation in a mysterious tournament, she can’t help but accept. Just as three different guys (a brooder, a loyal friend, and a sweet goofball) can’t help but fall in love with her along the way.</p> <h2>12.

Find out what happens next in Voya’s story in <em><a href="https://simonteen.com/book/blood-like-fate/">Blood Like Fate</a>!</em></p> <h2>14.

Things are finally starting to happen with her longtime crush, and their interactions are very sweet and sex-positive. But it’s a mix of joy and pain, and the Jim Crow South setting means that Evvie and her loved ones are always in danger.</p> <h2>15.

Tamsin is a witch cursed to feel nothing . . . unless others pay for her magical services with their own feelings. Wren is a sweet and kind caretaker for her ailing father, and she strikes up a deal with Tamsin. If Tamsin saves her father, she will make the ultimate personal sacrifice and give Tamsin her love for her father. Tamsin, in her desperation for the world to stop being so gray and lifeless, accepts. This grumpy/sunshine duo starts as reluctant allies and ends up somewhere much more romantic. The story alternates between both of their perspectives, so we get to understand the difficult paths that have led them to each other.</p> <h2>Love books that exemplify girl power? <a href="https://simonteen.com/2021/01/27/ya-books-featuring-strong-female-characters/">Check out these books with strong female characters!

We might be dreaming about what we want out of life and how to get there. Seeing our families in a new light, navigating changing friendships, falling in love for the first time, and/or, most importantly, making the first real steps toward figuring out who we are and who we want to be. Relatable stories can help guide us through it and provide a little perspective along the way.</p> <h1>High School Books That Are #Relatable</h1> <h2>1. <em><a href="https://simonteen.com/book/perks-of-being-a-wallflower/">Perks of Being a Wallflower</a></em> by Stephen Chbosky</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-14996" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/perks-of-being-a-wallflower.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="525" /></p> <p>A major part of high school is finding your group of friends and discovering who you are. This #1 <i>New York Times </i>bestselling coming-of-age story takes a sometimes heartbreaking, often hysterical, and always honest look at high school in all its glory. First dates, family drama, and new friends. Sex, drugs, and <i>The Rocky Horror Picture Show</i>. Devastating loss, young love, and life on the fringes. Caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it, Charlie must learn to navigate those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.</p> <h2><a href="https://simonteen.com/book/we-are-the-wildcats/"><em>2.We Are the Wildcats</em></a> by Siobhan Vivian</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-23724" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/we-are-the-wildcats-9781534439900_xlg.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="529" /></p> <p>A major part of high school is worrying about what comes next. For those who are college-bound, athletic scholarships can ease the strain of pricey college tuition. The field hockey girls from <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/we-are-the-wildcats/"><em>We Are the Wildcats</em></a> know all too well the real-world rewards of a successful season, and their tough coach is planning to push them harder than ever to recover from a poor showing last year. But during one wild night of team bonding, they start to realize that, instead of relying on their coach, they should start trusting each other instead.</p> <p> </p> <h2>3. <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/always-and-forever-lara-jean/"><em>Always and Forever, Lara Jean</em></a> by Jenny Han</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-19038" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/always-and-forever-lara-jean-9781481430494_hr-680x1024.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="527" /></p> <p>Young love is sweet, sorta awkward, and totally thrilling, but it comes with a built-in decision point. To stay together, or not to stay together. That is the question that all high school couples face as graduation day approaches, and oh boy, it can be a painful one. Iconic duo Lara Jean and Peter K. are not exempt. Their relationship is stronger than ever, but can it last past graduation? <em>Should</em> it?</p> <p> </p> <h2>4. <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/kings-queens-and-in-betweens/"><em>Kings, Queens, and In-Betweens</em></a> by Tanya Boteju</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-21388" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/kings-queens-and-in-betweens-9781534430655_xlg.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="528" /></p> <p>Being a teenager usually means more freedom, and more freedom means meeting new people that help you figure yourself out. Nima is super shy until she makes friends with a group of drag performers. She’s intrigued by their bold self-expression and their contagious joy in flouting gender norms. When she tries a drag king routine of her own, she finds that performing unlocks something in her she didn’t know was there. Now, the trick becomes transferring this onstage swagger into day-to-day confidence, which is still . . . a work in progress.</p> <p> </p> <h2>5. <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/when-we-were-magic/"><em>When We Were Magic</em></a> by Sarah Gailey</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-22424" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/9781534432871-rev-678x1024.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="528" /></p> <p>While you may not relate to being an actual witch with magic powers, you might be able to relate to being part of a ride-or-die group of friends. They take your side no matter what. Even if you have, shall we say, a “blow-up” with your prom date. And let’s not forget the utter agony of crushing on your best friend. Can you risk the friendship by confessing your feelings? You never know until you try! #NotHelpful</p> <p> </p> <h2>6. <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/barely-missing-everything/"><em>Barely Missing Everything</em></a> by Matt Mendez</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-21136" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/barely-missing-everything-9781534404458_xlg.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="529" /></p> <p>Impending adulthood starts to get a little too real in high school, especially in the last few years. Any flaws your parents have tried to hide from you become more apparent as you try to decide whether you want different lives than they have and whether that even feels possible. Juan sees his single mom struggling to pay rent and dating the wrong guys, JD discovers evidence of his dad’s infidelity, and both of them wonder what the future looks like for guys like them.</p> <p> </p> <h2>7. <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/our-wayward-fate/"><em>Our Wayward Fate</em></a> by Gloria Chao</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-21694" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Our-Wayward-Fate.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="529" /></p> <p>Even when you know your parents just want the best for you, it can be hard to meet their expectations. Ali is the daughter of Chinese immigrants, her mom insists that, if she dates, she can only date Chinese boys, which is hard to pull off as the only Chinese-American kid in school. Until she meets the new guy who just might satisfy both her and her mom’s requirements. So Ali is shocked when her mom doesn’t approve, and Ali starts digging to find out why. When digging in your parents’ pasts, you’re bound to uncover a family secret or two.</p> <p> </p> <h2>8. <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/slay/"><em>SLAY</em></a> by Brittney Morris</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-21359" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Slay.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="531" /></p> <p>We’re all a little different online than we are face-to-face. If we’re doing it right, our online personas are a reflection of our best selves: confident, witty, personable. Kiera has taken this to the next level by creating an entire MMORPG inspired by Black Panther, and it’s the haven she needs to interact with other Black gamers who understand her in a way other friends can’t. But she’ll have to stay true to her vision when her game gets unfairly called out in the media and a troll infiltrates their ranks.</p> <p> </p> <h2><em>9. <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/the-nowhere-girls/">The Nowhere Girls</a></em> by Amy Reed</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-19548" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/the-nowhere-girls-9781481481748_hr-683x1024.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="525" /></p> <p>For a lot of people, high school is the first time you realize just how many injustices are happening in your community, but also that you have the power to take action against them. When a sexual assault survivor is bullied into moving while her attacker goes unpunished, three girls decide that enough is enough. They form an undercover club called The Nowhere Girls, and they vow to change their school’s culture around sex, sexual assault, and misogyny. During their meetings, different members have different ideas about how best to make these changes, which reminds us that even activists who agree on a desired end result will still need to have complex conversations they might not have expected.</p> <p> </p> <h2>10. <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/the-past-and-other-things-that-should-stay-buried/"><em>The Past and Other Things that Should Stay Buried</em></a> by Shaun David Hutchinson</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20617" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/the-past-and-other-things-that-should-stay-buried-9781481498579_xlg-1.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="528" /></p> <p>Some friendships aren’t meant to last forever, and this can become clear amidst all of the constant changing that happens during high school. Dino’s situation is even more complicated than usual, because his ex-best friend died before they could tie up loose ends. But Dino gets a second chance when his best friend comes back as some sort of zombie, and he’s the only one who can help her make amends before she dies again. For good this time.</p> <p> </p> <h2>11. <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/promposal/"><em>Promposal</em></a> by Rhonda Helms</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-9565" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/promposal-1.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="522" /></p> <p>Everyone wants to have a good story about prom, even if that story is what they did <em>instead</em> of prom. Some of the flashiest stories come from those epic promposals you can’t stop watching on YouTube. Joshua is crafting the perfect promposal for his longtime crush, Ethan, but Camilla has been surprised with a very public promposal she didn’t necessarily want. Will they each get the proms of their dreams, regardless of how the asking plays out?</p> <p> </p> <h2>12. <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/promposal/"><em>Blaine for the Win</em></a> by Robbie Couch</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-28341 " src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Blaine-for-the-Win-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="541" /></p> <p>High school junior Blaine Bowers has it all—the perfect boyfriend (Mr. Popular of Wicker West High School, Joey), a pretty sweet gig as a muralist for local Windy City businesses, a loving family, and awesome, talented friends. Except Joey breaks up with him, because, according to Joey, Blaine is too goofy, too flighty, too…unserious. Determined to prove that he can be what Joey wants, Blaine decides to enter the running to become his successor (and beat out Joey’s new boyfriend, Zach) as senior student council president. But is he willing to sacrifice everything he loves about himself to do it?</p> <p> </p> <h2>Looking for more? <a href="https://simonteen.com/2020/04/03/books-that-depict-modern-dating-culture/">Check out these books that depict modern dating culture.</a></h2> <p> </p> </div> <div class="books"> </div> </section> <footer class="content-container"> <div class="related-posts"> <h2>More to Discover!</h2> <div class="related-posts"> <div class="post"> <figure> <a href="https://simonteen.com/2022/03/10/must-read-books-that-feature-relatable-friendship-breakups/"> <img width="155" height="155" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/uploads/2022/03/Untitled-design-3-155x155.jpg" class="attachment-st_post_list size-st_post_list wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /> </a> </figure> <div class="post-info"> <div class="category"><a href="https://simonteen.com/category/booklist/">Book List</a></div> <div class="post-title"><a href="https://simonteen.com/2022/03/10/must-read-books-that-feature-relatable-friendship-breakups/">8 Must-Read Books That Feature Relatable Friendship Breakups</a></div> <div class="meta"><div class="post-date">March 10, 2022</div> <a href="https://simonteen.com/profile/carolineo/" title="Posts by Caroline Osborn" class="author url fn" rel="author">Caroline Osborn</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="post"> <figure> <a href="https://simonteen.com/2024/08/08/pack-your-backpack-and-get-a-book-rec/"> <img width="155" height="155" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/uploads/2022/08/pexels-stanley-morales-1454360-1-155x155.jpg" class="attachment-st_post_list size-st_post_list wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /> </a> </figure> <div class="post-info"> <div class="category"><a href="https://simonteen.com/category/general/">General</a></div> <div class="post-title"><a href="https://simonteen.com/2024/08/08/pack-your-backpack-and-get-a-book-rec/">Pack Your Backpack for School and Get a Book Rec!</a></div> <div class="meta"><div class="post-date">August 8, 2024</div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="post"> <figure> <a href="https://simonteen.com/2023/05/18/12-rad-books-featuring-asian-protagonists/"> <img width="103" height="155" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/uploads/2016/09/Want-Cover.jpg" class="attachment-st_post_list size-st_post_list wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /> </a> </figure> <div class="post-info"> <div class="category"><a href="https://simonteen.com/category/booklist/">Book List</a></div> <div class="post-title"><a href="https://simonteen.com/2023/05/18/12-rad-books-featuring-asian-protagonists/">13 Rad Books Featuring Asian Protagonists</a></div> <div class="meta"><div class="post-date">May 18, 2023</div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="post"> <figure> <a href="https://simonteen.com/2023/04/30/must-read-books-april-2023/"> <img width="155" height="155" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/uploads/2022/04/Untitled-design-1-155x155.png" class="attachment-st_post_list size-st_post_list wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /> </a> </figure> <div class="post-info"> <div class="category"><a href="https://simonteen.com/category/booklist/new-releases/">New Releases</a></div> <div class="post-title"><a href="https://simonteen.com/2023/04/30/must-read-books-april-2023/">Must-Read Books That Came Out in April 2023</a></div> <div class="meta"><div class="post-date">April 30, 2023</div> <a href="https://simonteen.com/profile/amy-lavigne/" title="Posts by Amy Lavigne" class="author url fn" rel="author">Amy Lavigne</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </footer> </article> <article> <header> <figure> <img width="1080" height="360" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/uploads/2022/03/Untitled-design-3-1080x360.jpg" class="attachment-st_post_single size-st_post_single wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /> </figure> <div class="content-container"> <h2><a href="https://simonteen.com/2022/03/10/must-read-books-that-feature-relatable-friendship-breakups/" title="Read more on 8 Must-Read Books That Feature Relatable Friendship Breakups">8 Must-Read Books That Feature Relatable Friendship Breakups</a></h2> <div class="meta"> <div class="category"><a href="https://simonteen.com/category/booklist/">Book List</a></div> | <div class="date">March 10, 2022</div> <div class="byline">By <a href="https://simonteen.com/profile/carolineo/" title="Posts by Caroline Osborn" rel="author">Caroline Osborn</a></div> </div> </div> </header> <section class="content-container"> <div class="post-content"> <p>Whether you parted ways because of a dramatic betrayal or you just grew apart, breaking up with a friend can be as painful as breaking up with a partner, if not more so.

Resentments that have stewed for years come spewing out in the worst possible ways, until Stevie boards the train and Kat doesn’t. Neither of them has their phone, and Stevie has a stranger’s Pomeranian.

But Elise drives a pink Cadillac and has dangerous blue eyes and saved Remy in a lonely moment, so they become friends. Remy never anticipated that, a year later, Elise would murder Remy’s boyfriend. We meet Remy in the aftermath of the shooting, in a spiral of panic and grief, as she begins to sort through what happened to lead to Elise doing something so unforgivable. We sincerely hope that this thriller about obsessive friendship is not <em>literally </em>relatable, but the underlying feelings of it just might be.</p> <h2><em>6. <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/where-secrets-lie/">Where Secrets Lie</a></em> by Eva V.

So as they get closer to high school graduation, Beth dreads the moment when they all leave for college and her comfortable bubble is burst forever. Her family is fractured and messy, and her friends are all she has, even if she sometimes doubts that she belongs with them. But will she ever be near people who understand her so well ever again?

Now, after a year of escalations, Ellory starts her senior year friendless after a two-month suspension following an event she refers to as the fall.

Along with the rest of their neighborhood, all four of them must reckon with impending gentrification brought by the hotel developers. More tourism means more potential income for everyone, but if their tight-knit community is the cost, it’s a high price to pay.</p> <p> </p> <h2>3. <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/education-of-margot-sanchez/"><em>The Education of Margot Sanchez</em></a> by Lilliam Rivera</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-14044" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/uploads/2017/08/The-Education-of-Margot-Sanchez.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="529" /></p> <p>When Margot uses her dad’s credit card without permission, her punishment is to work at his grocery store until she pays off her debt. Margot and her family live in the South Bronx, and their grocery store is a central hub of a vibrant Latinx community. But Margot doesn’t always feel like a part of the community. She is constantly code-switching between her Puerto Rican heritage and the largely white Manhattan prep school she attends. Hence the shopping spree on her dad’s credit card—she’s desperately trying to keep up. But with her focus on her classmates, Margot never expected to get closer to Moises, a cute South Bronx boy involved in an anti-gentrification movement to protect their community, a mission that just might be more fulfilling than trying to impress her classmates.</p> <p> </p> <h2>4. <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/kings-queens-and-in-betweens/"><em>Kings, Queens, and In-Betweens</em></a> by Tanya Boteju</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-21388" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/uploads/2019/03/kings-queens-and-in-betweens-9781534430655_xlg.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="529" /></p> <p>Nima is suffering a tragically awkward crush on her straight best friend and trying to cope with her mother’s sudden departure.

A friendly drag queen takes her under her wing, and she’s introduced to a vibrant queer community that has existed right under her nose all along. With this comes new crushes, burgeoning self-confidence, and the unleashing of her brand new drag king persona who gives her the courage to live loud and proud the way she’s always dreamed.</p> <p> </p> <h2>5. <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/slay/"><em>SLAY</em></a> by Brittney Morris</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-21359" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/uploads/2019/02/Slay.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="530" /></p> <p>Kiera had a great idea: a multiplayer online role-playing card game called SLAY that doubles as a safe space for Black gamers and a celebration of African heritage. She programmed it herself, and now it has members worldwide who find a loving and understanding community in the world she created. But when SLAY is linked to a real-world crime, her game starts getting media attention that leads the public to ask the question: is excluding white people from her game actually racist? Kiera must fight harder than ever to save her game, because she still believes in her vision with her whole heart, no matter what the haters say.</p> <p> </p> <h2>6. <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/your-corner-dark/"><em>Your Corner Dark</em></a> by Desmond Hall</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-25864" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/uploads/2020/08/your-corner-dark-9781534460713_xlg.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="543" /></p> <p>When Frankie gets a scholarship to his dream school in the United States, he thinks he’s finally found a way out of Jamaica.

As Frankie is pulled deeper into the gang and does things he isn’t proud of, he begins to wonder whether he’s doomed to become just like his uncle. Frankie tries desperately to cling to his identity and remember the reason for his sacrifice: his love for his father. He reaches for his found family and his relationship with Leah, his longtime crush who has recently become his girlfriend, for genuine bright spots amidst the darkness, and hopes that he can make them his future instead.</p> <p> </p> <h2>7. <a href="https://simonteen.com/p/wings-of-ebony-page/"><em>Wings of Ebony</em></a> by J.

Her father whisks her away from her neighborhood community in Houston to a secret island of Ghizon, populated by gray-skinned magic-wielders who claim to be gods. More surprising still, Rue learns that she herself is half-god, half-human. But Ghizon is suffocating and unwelcoming, and Rue finds herself drawn back to the neighborhood and friends she misses so much, only to discover that she might be able to trace the problems facing her Houston neighborhood back to Ghizon—and if she wants to protect the community she grew up with, the one that loves her without question, she’s going to have to expose the hidden evils of her father’s homeland.</p> <p> </p> <h2>8. <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/heart-body-world-2/"><em>A Heart in a Body in the World</em></a> by Deb Caletti</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-23595" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/uploads/2019/10/a-heart-in-a-body-in-the-world-sm.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="525" /></p> <p>Annabelle is running a half marathon every day until she makes it from Seattle to Washington, DC. Why is she running? She barely survived a terrible trauma, and some of her friends didn’t. Running is the only thing she can do to take her body back, to take her life back. As she runs, her family and friends and eventually the rest of the country rise up to support her. No one is as present as her beloved Italian grandfather, who follows her route in his RV and makes her dinner every night.

So while Halle is falling for Nash harder than ever, he’s falling for . . . Kels.

He’s bound to the magician Nathaniel, which means that he is sustained by Nathaniel’s life force in exchange for providing Nathaniel with magic. Nathaniel consented to this arrangement as a boy, and against all odds, Silas and Nathaniel have a close and loving friendship. Silas usually takes the form of a white cat, and you don’t want to stick around when he unleashes his true form.</p> <p> </p> <h2>2. <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/sweet-bitter-magic/"><em>A Sweet & Bitter Magic</em></a> by Adrienne Tooley</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-25513" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/uploads/2020/07/Sweet-Bitter-Magic-1-668x1024.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="536" /></p> <p>Tamsin is a witch, and she provides helpful spells and potions for her fellow villagers. The catch? The only currency she accepts is the villagers’ love for their friends, partners, parents, and even their own children. That love allows Tamsin to feel something for a fleeting period of time before her world turns flat and grey again. It’s hard to imagine a character like this would be anything other than a villain, but a quest with the sweet Wren by her side just might lead to some relief from the sinister cycle in which she’s found herself. In short, Tamsin is the grumpy one who is soft for the sunshine one.</p> <p> </p> <h2>3. <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/the-diabolic-2/"><em>The Diabolic</em></a> by S.J.

She was created for one purpose only: to be a perfect bodyguard for a galactic senator’s daughter and, if necessary, kill for her without hesitation. Raised to be aggressive, ruthless, and menacing to everyone except her charge, Nemesis thinks she is prepared for anything. Until she has to switch places with the senator’s daughter and masquerade in her likeness amongst corrupt politicians. One wrong move could reveal her true vicious nature—but Nemesis is starting to believe there might be more humanity in her than anyone ever expected.</p> <p> </p> <h2>4. <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/night-shine/"><em>Night Shine</em></a> by Tessa Gratton</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-24370" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/uploads/2020/01/Night-Shine-678x1024.jpg" alt="" width="348" height="525" /></p> <p>The characters in <em>Night Shine</em> make choices that best fit their goals at the time, but they are not always choices that one would call “good” or “right.” Nothing, an orphan girl who lives in the palace, sets out on a quest to save her close friend the prince from The Sorceress Who Eats Girls—a sorceress who has her own POV chapters and love story arc. If you like your heroes magical, mythical, and morally grey, you have found your next read.</p> <p> </p> <h2>5. <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/these-violent-delights/"><em>These Violent Delights</em></a> by Chloe Gong</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-27314" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/uploads/2021/02/these-violent-delights-9781534457690_xlg.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="529" /></p> <p>Roma Montagov and Juliette Cai are heirs of rival gangs in 1926 Shanghai, and you can’t get much more anti-hero than organized crime lord. Juliette in particular is a refreshing departure from a traditional heroine—she’s prickly, aloof, and merciless, and we love her for it. But while the Scarlet Gang and the White Flowers scheme for control of Shanghai, a greater, more monstrous threat looms over all of them. When Roma and Juliette are forced to work together, they will have to put aside their complicated past and cooperate for once. Easier said than done for two hardened gangsters.

Citra and Rowan join the order of the Scythes, a group of people tasked with administering death in this futuristic reality in which aging is optional. They are supposed to be the most morally upstanding people of all, but it’s a bit more complicated than that. Not to mention, Scythe Lucifer is the ultimate anti-hero that you’ll root for even as he makes some morally grey choices. This series does the anti-hero trope like nothing you’ve ever read—you won’t be able to put it down!</p> <p> </p> <h2>7. <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/cursed/"><em>Cursed</em></a> by Thomas Wheeler and Frank Miller</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-25024" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/uploads/2019/12/cursed-9781534477339_xlg.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="529" /></p> <p>This retelling of the King Arthur legend features a strong female lead. It’s hard to say whether Nimue or the sword itself is the real anti-hero of this story—but either way, you won’t be able to root against them. Nimue is inspiring, passionate, and filled with compassion. Her determination to save her people gets her into some trouble, but you just know her heart is in the right place.</p> <p> </p> <h2>8. <a href="https://simonteen.com/book/legendborn/"><em>Legendborn</em></a> by Tracy Deonn</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-27023" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/uploads/2020/06/legendborn-9781534441606_xlg-2.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="531" /></p> <p>In this enthralling novel, you’ll meet Bree and Nick, two teens hoping to uncover dark secrets by infiltrating the society of Legendborn, who are descendants of King Arthur’s knights. Where Nick, at first glance, is the classic golden-boy hero, his foil is Selwyn, the mysterious Merlin who doesn’t seem to like Bree’s presence, especially where Nick is involved. However, as you read this book, it’ll be almost impossible for you to NOT root for Sel, who gives off some serious Loki vibes.</p> <p> </p> <h2>Looking for more? <a href="https://simonteen.com/2020/12/08/completed-young-adult-series/">Check out these completed YA series that you can start right now!</a></h2> </div> <div class="books"> </div> </section> <footer class="content-container"> <div class="related-posts"> <h2>More to Discover!</h2> <div class="related-posts"> <div class="post"> <figure> <a href="https://simonteen.com/2024/11/23/find-your-next-romantasy-read/"> <img width="155" height="155" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/uploads/2024/11/CLP-headers-11-155x155.jpg" class="attachment-st_post_list size-st_post_list wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /> </a> </figure> <div class="post-info"> <div class="category"><a href="https://simonteen.com/category/booklist/">Book List</a></div> <div class="post-title"><a href="https://simonteen.com/2024/11/23/find-your-next-romantasy-read/">Find Your next Romantasy Read!</a></div> <div class="meta"><div class="post-date">November 23, 2024</div> <a href="https://simonteen.com/profile/simonteenadmin/" title="Posts by Simon Teen" class="author url fn" rel="author">Simon Teen</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="post"> <figure> <a href="https://simonteen.com/2022/05/24/books-read-love-stranger-things/"> <img width="155" height="155" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/uploads/2018/02/strangerthingslead-155x155.jpg" class="attachment-st_post_list size-st_post_list wp-post-image" alt="Stranger Things" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /> </a> </figure> <div class="post-info"> <div class="category"><a href="https://simonteen.com/category/booklist/">Book List</a></div> <div class="post-title"><a href="https://simonteen.com/2022/05/24/books-read-love-stranger-things/">10 Books You Need to Read If You Love STRANGER THINGS</a></div> <div class="meta"><div class="post-date">May 24, 2022</div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="post"> <figure> <a href="https://simonteen.com/2022/09/05/the-our-violent-ends-recap-you-need/"> <img width="155" height="155" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/uploads/2022/09/IMG_8112-155x155.jpg" class="attachment-st_post_list size-st_post_list wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /> </a> </figure> <div class="post-info"> <div class="category"><a href="https://simonteen.com/category/general/">General</a></div> <div class="post-title"><a href="https://simonteen.com/2022/09/05/the-our-violent-ends-recap-you-need/">The <i>Our Violent Ends</i> Recap You Need Before You Read <i>Foul Lady Fortune</i></a></div> <div class="meta"><div class="post-date">September 5, 2022</div> <a href="https://simonteen.com/profile/amy-lavigne/" title="Posts by Amy Lavigne" class="author url fn" rel="author">Amy Lavigne</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="post"> <figure> <a href="https://simonteen.com/2022/06/07/the-ultimate-legendborn-recap/"> <img width="155" height="155" src="https://simonteen.b-cdn.net/app/uploads/2024/02/BLOODMARKED_COLLECTION_IMAGE-155x155.png" class="attachment-st_post_list size-st_post_list wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /> </a> </figure> <div class="post-info"> <div class="category"><a href="https://simonteen.com/category/exclusive-content/">Exclusive Content</a></div> <div class="post-title"><a href="https://simonteen.com/2022/06/07/the-ultimate-legendborn-recap/">The Ultimate Legendborn Recap You Need Before You Read Bloodmarked </a></div> <div class="meta"><div class="post-date">June 7, 2022</div> <a href="https://simonteen.com/profile/emily-ritter/" title="Posts by Emily Ritter" class="author url fn" rel="author">Emily Ritter</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </footer> </article> </main><!-- #main --> <footer> <section> <nav class="social-links"> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.facebook.com/simonteen" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="facebook"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 320 512"><!--!
