Re: YA recs!

A Court of Thorns and Roses.

It's a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. There are two men who love the MC, but she pretty clearly doesn't want anything to do with the second. A wise choice.

I'm going to second The Raven Cycle recommendation, with a caveat to stay away from the author online. She's an arrogant piece of work and all the pretty prose won't change that. -.-

Thirteen Reasons Why.

You'll cry your face off. Trust me.

Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your Ass.

Features a Hispanic MC who deals with bullying, problems with her mother, and an absent father. Women supporting women! No love triangles! A happy ending! One of my favorites, and the author was lovely when I met her.

The Geography Club.

A book with a LGBT MC. No love triangle, no over the top angst about being gay, nobody dying at the end. And the author is very sweet.

A Court of Thorns and Roses got a lot of recs from Beauty and the Beast loving friends, but I just couldn't get into it. It's probably one of my least favorite adaptations. Robin McKinley's Beauty and her Rose Daughter worked better for me, as well as Ursula Vernon's Bryony and Roses, which was written almost as a response to Rose Daughter. Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge is more Cupid and Psyche meets Tam Lin, but still sort of BatB-ish.
