Preferably the kind of gushy, problematic, forbidden love that only happens in books.
Personally, I love fantasy romance. Such as Twilight by Stephanie Meyer.
In Twilight, the main character is clumsy and easy to relate to; she's not a superhero. In fact, Bella is even more normal than I am! But then! Edward, a mysterious, seductively handsome vampire, HATES her. But, of course, they fall madly in love. But not with ease...
I think readers enjoy the journey of waiting for the main characters to fall in love and when the characters are oblivious to their love, rather than when they have confessed and such.
So, if you really want the normal teenage girl to enjoy a book, I would write a romance.

Hey!
I like books that have characters that I can relate to. I liek the drama of sex and love and highschool and stuff, with all of the problems that come along with them, but at the same time, I don't like books that are problem solvers. You know what I mean? Like if I'm reading a book, I don't want to hear about how perfect her life is turning out after she got pregnant (as an example) thats not real. Sometimes when mistakes happen, you can't magically fix them.
I am also an author, and even though I am not professional, and I haven't had any books published, I have successfully finished novels. My biggest suggestion is, that you will have tons of ideas for characters, plot lines, etc, but the key to knowing whether or not you are going to stick with a book, is if you enjoy writing it. I often will write epologues to several novels, but I have my series that I have been writing for a while now and I can never leave it too long. The characters are like my buddies, and they need me to create their life (Obviously they are not my real friends Lmao, I'm not psycho, I'm speaking figuratively), the series is like my baby, I don't let things get in the way of writing, and that is how I know that it is the story I'm going to stick too. Believe me, its easy to vere off on some other story, but its the book you come back to again and again that will be your greatest success. I can't tell you much about the professional side, but if you need anything in the whole writing process definitely let me know!
Good luck, I know you'll write an amazing book! Love ya,
