Lately, I've started to notice that my reading habits have starting to change. Like, there's this whole new genre in young adult books that I've been drawn to lately, the New Adult books. And, so far, the few that I've actually read have been super good. My favorite one was actually my favorite book that I read last year, Pushing The Limits by Katie McGarry. I've found myself just really gravitating toward these books. Like, there are other books in this genre that I really would like to read this year. So, I thought I'd share a few of them with you.
"I dare you..."

That's how Beth finds herself living with an aunt who doesn't want her and going to a school that doesn't understand her. At all. Except for the one guy who shouldn't get her, but does.

And she thought that her life was going in the right direction until everything fell apart. (Read more on Goodreads.)
There are those who don’t get luck handed to them on a shiny platter, who end up in the wrong place at the wrong time, who don’t get saved.

The attraction between them was undeniable. Yet the past he’d worked so hard to overcome, and the future she’d put so much faith in, threatened to tear them apart.

These books sound like they are going to be amazing and I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to read Dare You To like yesterday! Other New Adult books that I want to read this year are Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire, From Ashes by Molly McAdams, Falling For Summer by Kailin Gow, and Ten Tiny Breaths by K.A. Tucker.
