@Bridget it’s a ridiculous series but of course I binged it anyway. NA is a really hard genre because a lot of authors emphasize the sexual part since the characters are adults. I only read one Colleen Hoover book because everyone was raving about her but I thought the relationship was really superficial and gross.

Yeah, I’m not surprised Tricia. And I know, everyone’s super into Colleen Hoover but I’m not a fan!

Lauren Miller wrote a couple books where the characters were in college, but they were written in a young adult way, so those were fun. I was hoping there’s be more like that out there!

@Bridget, this one is really good. It was one of my first forays into New Adult.

The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult. I normally don’t read books out of the fantasy genre but this one was amazing!
