If You Liked Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon...

Everything Everything is a beautiful, sweet coming of age romance with the stakes being slightly higher than usual when protagonist Maddy leaves the house to chase her true love despite being confined to her home due to a rare medical condition. Maybe you loved the film, released in the UK August 18th, and you want to read books of a similar genre. Therefore, if you loved this novel, here are my top 10 books you should read next!

1. I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson
This book will always be a favourite of mine and I think at least one element of the story will mirror your own experiences of growing up. It's a story about two siblings experiencing their first love and loss at the same time but in different ways. It's beautifully written and full of bright, vivid descriptions. It reads almost like poetry, a truly perfect novel.







2. Ask the Passengers by A S King

A friend got this book for me and I'm so glad she did because it's completely changed my perspective on things. A coming of age novel mixed in with the beginnings of a teenager asking philosophical questions, despite being fiction it feels like a very true story. Astrid is beginning to discover her sexuality and find first love while struggling with the constraints of unaccepting parents and judgey small town life.






3. A Quiet Kind of Thunder by Sara Barnard
This book is about an anxious, mute teen girl who finally finds her voice communicating through sign language with her deaf boyfriend Rhys. It's a lovely story as neither is dependent on the other in developing themselves but instead supported in a healthy relationship that feels as perfect and sometimes painful in all the ways first loves do. 







4. The Memory of Flora Banks by Emily Barr
Living with a rare form of amnesia, Flora has no recollection of anything longer than a few hours ago and her last memories are from when she was 10. Her parents keep her overprotected and when the chance arises, Flora travels halfway across the world for an opportunity to make her own memories. Very reminiscent of the rebellious streak in Maddy when she defies her mother!






5. When We Collided by Emery Lord

When I say this story is vibrant, I'm not just talking about the front cover! It's an absolute rollercoaster of first love and a beautiful exploration of the feelings of both people involved. The intensity of it all will keep you gripped as a reader and the realism in this novel is what really makes the story. Nothing is sugercoated!







6. The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han

If what you're looking for is a genuine first discovery of romance then look no further than the novels of YA romance author Jenny Han! A perfect read for the summer, you can practically feel the rays on you as you're reading. Protagonist Belly begins falling for family friends Conrad and Jeremiah while discovering her independence as a young woman. Definitely worth the read!






7. This Song Will Save Your Life by Leila Sales
This novel is a little different to the others in this list but if you liked Everything Everything I'm guessing you really love a coming of age book! Outsider Elise discovers an underground DJ scene where she finally feels accepted and as though she can be herself despite a traumatic incident in her near past and difficulties at school. 







8. Unspeakable by Abbie Rushton

A beautifully honest book about two young girls discovering themselves through their first relationship. Megan doesn't speak but bubbly new girl Jasmine brings out the voice in her. Something has happened that Megan cannot speak about but around Jasmine, she can finally speak. One of the best YA LGBT romance books with a mystery thrown in.








9. Everything Leads to You by Nina Lacour

Set in LA, everything about this book screams that it needs to be made into a film. Vibrant Emi and her best friend Charlotte are working on a film when they embark on a search for an old Wild-West movie star's grand daughter, all while being left with the heavy responsibility to do something epic while staying in her brother's flat for the summer. Hope, betrayal, loss and guilt make this a recipe for a perfect coming of age novel.






10. Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell
Lovers of Rainbow Rowell probably hold this novel to be the single book that embodies all the best elements of a YA romance/coming-of-age story. Eleanor and Park have an intense relationship, realistic to that of when your 16, all whilst exploring their identities and struggling with problems in their personal lives. A fantastic read that I fully enjoyed and can definitely recommend.
