Young Adult
College dorms, first apartments, questionable decisions—welcome to the shelf where growing pains meet grown-up feelings.
Our New Adult Shelf is loaded with swoony romances, found family friendships, and enough emotional chaos to make you nostalgic for your early twenties (or glad you survived them). Think campus drama, self-discovery, and love stories that turn up both the spice and the feels.
✨ Perfect for:
-
Readers who love romance but want a little more grit than YA
-
Anyone obsessed with the “figuring it out” era of life
-
Fans of angst, messy roommates, and too many iced coffees
Warning: May cause flashbacks to student loan debt, late-night pizza runs, and your “maybe I should dye my hair again” phase.
