Weâre not biased or anything, but @Jenn_Benn is one of our favourite YA contemporary authors! In her newest novel, Chasing Lucky, the bad-boy-with-a-heart-of-gold trope is dialled up to the max- and we canât get enough of it

Much like in her @nytimesbooks bestselling novel Stepsister, author @JenWritesBooks takes a classic fairytale- this time Snow White, and twists it into a fiercely feminist retelling full of powerful themes like empowerment, survival, and strength in the face of darkness

Far From Normal by @BeckyWallace1 is a laugh-out-loud, Devil-Wears-Prada inspired story of one internâs mission to repair the image of a handsome soccer star not too keen on following rules, resulting in a relatably messy (but hilarious) contemporary romance

A modern contemporary romcom retelling of Emma? Um, yes please! In The Code for Love and Heartbreak by @JillianCantor, Emma is still her meddling self- but this time with the power of modern technology on her side. Because no algorithm can predict true love... or can it?

Wilder Girls by @itsrorypower is one of our longtime favourites here in the store, so of course we have to mention the equally loved Burn Our Bodies Down in this thread; an eerie, atmospheric, small-town thriller both ripe with twists and plenty of horror
