Top Ten Books for Readers Who Like Contemporary

Top Ten Books For Readers Who Like Contemporary
My favorite genre is contemporary. I always loved realistic fiction when I was young, because I think that there is nothing like a Contemporary story that can really change your view on the world and the people around you. The books I have reviewed on this list are linked to the reviews. 
1. All the Bright Places
I loved this romance story. It really struck my heart, and I fell in love with the characters. 

2. Impossible Knife of Memory, The
I loved this story of PTSD. Very honest, and very gritty. 

3. Winger 
One of my favorite books ever to be honest. SO funny but very touching. 

4. We Were Liars
This book gave me chills. It absolutely blew my mind. I would encourage everyone to read this book that likes Contemporary-it shows how powerful writing can be. 

5. When I Was the Greatest
Recently read this book, and I fell in love with the voice and characters. Also is a cast of mainly African Americans, which was very refreshing, 

6. I'll Give You The Sun
I finally read it guys! I'll get a review out soon, but that was a really just beautiful book. 

7. Please Ignore Vera Dietz
Or any of A.S. King's books, really, but I wanted to have some diversity in the list. All of her books are fantastic. 

8. To All The Boys I've Loved Before
You in the mood for a cute, cozy, contemporary read? Jenny Han has got your back. 

9. Fangirl
I told myself I wouldn't, but I had to add a Rainbow Rowell book in here. Her romances are phenomenal. 

10. Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock
A thinking book, definitely. I loved Leonard Peacock, and I'm sure you will too. 

What are your lists today? And do you like Contemporary?
