YA Contemporary That Will Give You Butterflies
A lot of people want to read a book that makes them feel something. When I read fantasy I want to feel as if I am really being transported to a magical world, but when it comes to contemporary I want a story that will make me feel things in the pit of my stomach.
If you’re like me want something that will make your stomach flutter check out this list of contemporary books that will give you butterflies.
Listen . Whenever I get the chance to talk about this book I will. It is so good, and that scene at the end…once you read it you’ll know what I’m talking about. That scene just makes me feel all the things. I don’t think I’ll ever recover.
Danyal Jilani has no lack of confidence. He may not be the smartest guy in the room, but he’s funny, gorgeous, and going to make a great chef one day. His father doesn’t approve of his career choice, but that hardly matters. What does matter is the opinion of Danyal’s longtime crush, the perfect-in-all-ways Kaval, and her family, who consider him a less than ideal arranged-marriage prospect.
Then Danyal gets selected for the Renaissance Man, a school-wide academic championship and the perfect opportunity to show everyone he’s smarter than they think. He recruits the brilliant, totally-uninterested-in-him Bisma to help with the competition, but the more time Danyal spends with her…the more he learns from her…the more he cooks for her…the more he realizes that happiness may be staring him right in his pretty face.
When it comes to this classic, there are nothing but butterflies. First love can exciting and scary but falling in with someone you never expected, in a time where being who you are and loving who you do is taboo, can feel like a nightmare instead of a dream.
With a steady boyfriend, the position of Student Council President, and a chance to go to an Ivy League college, high school life is just fine for Holland Jaeger.
At least, it seems to be.
But when Cece Goddard comes to school, everything changes. Cece and Holland have undeniable feelings for each other, but how will others react to their developing relationship?
