This was SO good - I was gripped. It is so well written. Trigger warning for topics including SA, murder, suicide

Iona Bodman profile picture
This book follows on from 'If He Had Been With Me', and, like the first book, is super good. I think it's really well written and it was devastatingly beautiful. I cried A LOT. It explores grief really well.
If Only I Had Told Her

Romance

Better Than the Movies

This is a magical book, about an unlikely romance in a palace. I promise it's better than it sounds and not cliched
Selection Series

Similar to The Selection, this is really good. It's part of the fantasy genre as well, and involves magic. I loved this and could not stop reading it
The Rose Bargain by Sasha Peyton Smith
 
Iona Bodman profile picture
Romance isn't necessarily the best way to describe this book but there is a romantic subplot and it reminds me of The Rose Bargain a bit. It was really good, and I read the whole series
The Cruel Prince
