 By Tirzah Price Jul 1, 2021

I love reading about love, and 2021 has blessed us with an abundance of swoon-worthy YA romances that you definitely won’t want to miss! We’ve already highlighted some of the best books to pick up in the first half of the year; now it’s time to finish 2021 out strong with some of the best YA romances you can look forward to from July to December! With fake dating, childhood friends to enemies to lovers, bucket lists, heart wrenching family dynamics, and more wonderful romantic tropes, you'll be happy to welcome these love stories to the stack.

RISE TO THE SUN BY LEAH JOHNSON

Set at a music festival called Farmland, this novel follows Olivia, who has a tendency to fall in love and get her heart broken a lot, and Toni, who is still grieving the loss of her dad and is uncertain about her future. They both arrive at Farmland hoping that the weekend can give them some kind of clarity and perspective going forward, but they find each other — and love and romance and unexpected complications that require them to work together if they’re to find a way forward.

YOU AND ME AT THE END OF THE WORLD BY BRIANNE BOURNE

When Hannah wakes up to the end of the world as she knows it, everyone has vanished except for Leo. Leo is the bad-boy of her high school, and he’s too slick and smooth talking for her tastes, even if he is handsome. But since they only have each other to rely on, Hannah and Leo soon find themselves opening up to one another and it’s not long before their true selves emerge. But as they begin falling for each other, they discover the dangerous truth about the end of the world.


LIKE A LOVE SONG BY GABRIELA MARTINS


Natalie is a Brazilian pop star who’s just been dumped, and on live television no less. She is determined not to show just how heartbroken she is, but she’s unprepared when her publicity team comes up with a fake dating scheme for her. Natalie’s match is William, an indie film star from the UK, and he’s nothing like anyone she imagined herself being with…but that doesn’t stop her from falling for him for real!

RADHA AND JAI’S RECIPE FOR ROMANCE BY NISHA SHARMA

Radha is very nearly one of the world’s best kathak dancers when a betrayal wrecks her life and her dreams, and sends her to a new school her senior year. Jai is the captain of the Bollywood Beats dance team, and without much money for life after senior year, he sees the potential in Radha for helping him achieve his dreams. What neither of them expected was for them to fall for each other.
