Here are my most favorite stories from this year—if you haven't gotten around to reading them yet, one-click them and get ready to be emotionally wrecked. You've been warned! Note: there is no order to this list—they are all ranked as favorite reads!
ONE TRUE LOVES by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Isn’t it incredible to be able to read a book and immediately know that you have found a gem of wisdom, a text full of truths that you didn’t know you needed to read until you’ve read it? The whole reason I read is to find stories like ONE TRUE LOVES – stories that shape the way I view the world, and the way I view love (in all forms).
If that's not enough of a recommendation, I also got my first ever tattoo with a quote from this fantastic book. That's how much I loved this book.

THE HATING GAME by Sally Thorne
I love this book so much I want to put it into everyone's hands and beg that they let me watch them read this because it is just that good. Hoping to wake up with dementia and read this all over again for the first time. Sally Thorne's characters own me. P.S. How many times is too many times to reread a book? Asking for me.
LILY AND THE OCTOPUS by Steven Rowley
You know when books just slap you over the side of the head with their absolute truths and pages of wisdom? That's exactly what LILY AND THE OCTOPUS did to me. If you have been in the mood to read a story that's poignant and stunningly real, get this book.
A LOVE LETTER TO WHISKEY by Kandi Steiner
Expect to experience all kinds of heartbreak with this story. I knew I was in too deep when I started tearing up on the subway (note to self: quit reading emotional books in public!!!). I cannot recommend this one enough—Kandi Steiner has created the most intoxicating cocktail of a romance.

A PLACE IN THE SUN by R.S. Grey
I was thinking over why I loved the name of this book so much and it hit me after finishing the story—reading A PLACE IN THE SUN was like living underneath the heat of the sun, both scorching in its intensity and slow burning like only the best love stories are.
R.S. Grey’s writing will do that to you: transport you to a place that is equal parts real and a dream. This book was a dream—the kind you don’t want to wake up from.

LOSING THE LIGHT by Andrea Dunlop
This story will leave you crying over the tragic reality of love and the immense toll a toxic relationship can take on a person. An extraordinary debut from a writer whom I can now consider one of my favorites in this genre.Read my review | Amazon US | Amazon UK | Amazon CA | Barnes & Noble | Kobo | Books-a-Million! | IndieBound
BEAUTIFUL by Christina Lauren
WILDER by Rebecca Yarros
This story is a thrilling ride with twists and turns (twists that absolutely caught me by surprise!) that will beg you to cancel all your plans (and possibly take a sick day at work). Rebecca Yarros writes from the heart and it shows – her words are addictive, her characters are anything but fictional and her stories will resonate with you.

LAST CALL by Staci Hart
I cried, laughed, revisited my old pals from WITH A TWIST & CHASER (the first books in this series of standalones) and fell in love all over again with Staci Hart's words. You could even say I was wasted on her words (all of the winks here). Cheers to another incredible story and another well-deserved book hangover. Read my review | Amazon US | Amazon CA | Amazon UK

UNDECIDED by Julianna Keyes
If you've been looking for a New Adult read that is absolutely all-consuming, steamier than a sauna, and hilariously entertaining, don't hesitate -- grab UNDECIDED. Reading this book was decidedly the best reading choice I've made in a while.

A COURT OF MIST AND FURY by Sarah J. Maas
The most insanely epic story of love, sacrifice, adventure and a million other words I can't remember because all I can think of is RHYSAND! I thought I knew what book hangovers felt like but I was wrong. The hangover I experienced after ACOMAF was unlike all of my other book hangovers — I couldn't pick up another book for over a week because all I wanted to do was dive right back into Feyre's world of destruction and love.

I will check these out though I agree with you about "Undecided" as my favorite YA. I still prefer the first cover
ReplyDeleteI loved the first cover as well!
DeleteLoved The Hating Game, Undecided & It Ends With Us. Will check out the rest. :)
ReplyDeleteYay! Hope you enjoy the lot!
DeleteI read Place in the Sun based on your recommendation and loved it. It Ends with Us was heartbreaking, but wonderful. The Hating Game is one that I keep hearing about. I do plan to read it. Also, Beautiful. Thanks!

We definitely share a few favorites from the year. One True Loves blew me away. ACOMAF destroyed me. It Ends With Us is probably CoHo's best to date. I've yet to read anything by R.S. Grey and need to change that soon!
