Any recommendations for a YA with a plot that isn’t entirely focused on a romance? Side plot is fine

I am not your perfect Mexican Daughter, by Erika L. Sanchez
This was soooo good! ??
@Jennifer yes!!! I loved it so much! Especially because I could relate to it! ♥️??
Also I think it gives good insight to what it’s like to be a daughter of Mexican immigrants.
@Adriana same!
Vicious by VE Schwab!
@Makena funny, I’m reading it right now, so good ❤️
The Hate U Give – if you haven’t read this one just do it. It’s so good and so important
Chaotic Good is a bit romancy but the main character has so much more going on in her life it does seem more just a part of her life rather than her entire focus
@Chelsey the hate u give is Fab, really liked it!
The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness
The chaos walking trilogy by Patrick ness
I recently finished Sawkill Girls by Claire Legrand and enjoyed it. There is a bit of romance but its not the main story at all.
Phase by E.C. Newman or The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer
Tamora Pierce’s Tortall series of book. Fantasty series, most of the books are organized in quartets following a different character. Each of them have some sort of romantic storyline, but they’re never the main point of the story. Much more on action, adventure and defining yourself. They’re a lot of fun. The series starts with the Alanna quartet, Alanna the First Adventure and her becoming a knight.
The Book Thief. It’s beautifully written but very sad.
Partials by Dan Wells! Humanity is all but extinguished after a war with partials–engineered organic beings identical to humans–has decimated the world’s population. Reduced to only tens of thousands by a weaponized virus to which only a fraction of humanity is immune, the survivors in North America have huddled together on Long Island.

I really enjoyed Nevermoor. Its middle grade but absolutely enchanting.
Ellen Hopkins!! Most of her books aren’t centered around romance.
Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews
Laurie Halse Anderson! Speak, Wintergirls, Chains (though Chains is more middle grade it is still excellent).
The Cheerleaders. The chaos of standing still. The safest lies
Exit Pursued by a Bear
Depends if you like Fantasy/Vampire stuff? The Vampire Academy series followed by The Bloodlines series, both by Richelle Mead, are really really awesome <3<3
You will be mine and the Cellar by Natasha Preston we’re both great reads.
Poet X

Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the universe.
