Julia971 | 80 comments Hello,

I am out of nice interracial YA romance books to read, could you help me find some titles with a 16- 17- 18 year old black girl lead ?

Some titles resembling those :

Finding Yvonne by Brandy Colbert

Birdie by M.C. Carr

The White Forest (Mages and Kingdoms, #2) by Cara Coe

Romiette and Julio by Sharon M. Draper

Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon

I am looking for stories where love is an important part the plot and where heterosexual characters connect in a real and physical way. If you recently (or in the past) encountered this type of story, please let me know.

TinaNoir | 1456 comments YA is not my wheelhouse at all, but I have read a few:

Living Violet (The Cambion Chronicles, #1) by Jaime Reed - Science Fiction, very good. First book in a series.

Freeing Carter by Nyrae Dawn - Angsty but good.

A Twist of Hate by Crystal Hubbard - VERY Angsty/heavy. TW: school violence. I did not love this mainly because of the heavy themes. I wasn't in the headspace for it, but the writing is excellent.

A Love Letter to Whiskey by Kandi Steiner - This book reminded me a LOT of Birdie by M.C. Carr Birdie. But it was waay more angsty. I liked Birdie better.

I Hunt Killers (I Hunt Killers, #1) by Barry Lyga - Mostly thriller suspense, but the protagonists are teenagers. The MMC and his GF are a bwwm couple.

Bright Lights, Dark Nights by Stephen Emond - Have not read this one, but I have had it on my TBR based on some reviews.

Beyond the Pages with Eva K (beyondthepageswithevak) | 3 comments I think the Belle Morte series has a multicultural cast of characters. Also, Stealing Infinity may offer something of a nice YA consideration. I would suggest these for an older YA reader, just because of the mature themes and level of darkness and violence. For early YA readers, The Marvellers, Amari and the Night Brothers, and City Spies are good bets on series reads.
