LAURIE STOLARZ-

Blue is for nightmares
White is for magic
Silver is for secrets
Red is for rememberance
These are about a teenage girl who practices wicca, and her dreams tell her things. And in each book she has to help someone and save their lives(including herself). They are really good. She goes to a boarding school and has 4 really close friends. If your going to read these make sure to read them in that order because they're a series, haha my friend read them out of order.

She also has a book called Bleed, which is about like 5 teens and their lives.



LAURA RUBY-

LAURA WEISS-

Such a pretty girl

SARAH DESSEN-

And she finds her inner beauty with real friends. she didnt have friends back at home, even when she turned skinny, everybody still hated her. But here she meets a great guy, and finds out stuff about herself.

The Truth About Forever-

Just Listen-
A girl almost gets raped by her former best friends boyfriend, and everybody thinks that shes a slut. So she has no friends, but the ones at her modeling career. She meets a boy at school, who is obsessed with music, and keeps to himself.
He teaches her to not lie, and let her emotions out.

Dreamland-
this girl meets a boy whom she is fascinated with and loves. But he ends up hurting her, and she faces with her sister running away and being abused by her boyfriend.

Someone like you-

oh all of the girls in these books are teenagers.

These are all good, they are girly teen romancy stuff.

Answer 2

Some fantasy and romance kind of books that I really like is a series called Once Upon a Time. It's a bunch of retold fairy tales, but they are all very original and well written. There are eleven of them:
The Storyteller's Daughter by Cameron Dokey
Beauty Sleep by Cameron Dokey
Snow by Tracy Lynn
Midnight Pearls by Debbie Viguie
Scarlet Moon by Debbie Viguie
Sunlight and Shadow by Cameron Dokey
Spirited by Nancy Holder
The Night Dance by Suzanne Weyn
Golden by Cameron Dokey
Water Song by Suzanne Weyn
Before Midnight by Cameron Dokey
If you read some and like them, a new one is supposed to come out this month, Rose Bride by Nancy Holder.

Answer 3

By what you describe, it seems like you'd like some of these books:
TTFN
TTYL
Harry Potter (If you don't want to, don't start with the first book, I hated the first)
Charlie Bone (A good short read, but a great plot for Fantasy)
The Lion, The witch, and the two girls from Jersey (This is a teen/fantasy book. Great, I highly reccomend it.)
Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie (This book is a teen book, with a hint of love, but not a ton. It's about the bonds of a family ahnd how tough things are. It's a great book.)

Answer 5

For the teen romance genre, try Seven DAys to a Brand New ME by Ellen Conford. It's an older book (mid-eighties, maybe), but it is a cute story, and actually a lot of Ellen Conford's book are really good like that.

As for fantasy, have you read some classics like A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle? Or Bridge to Terabithia? Those are good, and I also used to read a series about a female knight named Alanna. (I originally picked it up because my name is Alana and I thought it was cool to have a similarly named female knight in a book.) I forget who those Alanna books are by, though.
