I'm curious to know if any of you know some great teen (ish) books that are about romance, any that include sex, relationships, etc. I've read plenty, but I'm still looking for more. Any help is much appreciated :) the ones I read are more PG 13, so I'm looking for books that go into more detail.
TiffanyAlexis answered Monday January 18 2010, 4:39 pm: I have to agree with the people who answered before me, Sarah Dessen is an amazing teen romantic author. But when it comes to the sexy novels there's Forever by Judy Bloom. Its oldish, like from the 70s i think. But it's pretty good & really detailed actually.

Aside from that:
- Twisted by Laurie Halse Anderson.
- What My Mother Doesn't Know by Sonya Sones.
- Keeping the Moon by Sarah Dessen.
- This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen (My all time favorite book.)
- Exit Here by Jason Myers.
- The Realm of Possibility by David Levithan (My 2nd all time favorite book!)
Melody answered Friday January 15 2010, 7:33 pm: The Luxe Series by Anne Godbersen is good. It's got teen romance in it, but it is also full of lies, deceit, cheating, and all sorts of good stuff.
I think you would like any Sarah Dessen novels. I sort of got bored with them after a while, but you may like them. I think you would especially enjoy This Lullaby
Of course I am going to say Twilight as well. Hey! You did ask for a teen love story and it doesn't get much more lovey dovey then that. But you might also like The Host as well. It's Stephenie Meyer's other novel and even though it's a little sci-fi, it's got a romantic undertone to it.

The A List (series of 10) - Zoey Dean
About the goings on of the teenage children of the rich and famous, contains a wide variety of material - love, hate, jealousy etc. Loved it!
Girl Meets Boy, Guy Next Door, All American Girl, Avalon High, etc. - Meg Cabot
I absoloutly love Meg Cabot's books! I would especially recommend the Girl Meets Boy & Guy Next Door as well as the third in that series, I immensly enjoyed them! Some are intended for adults but most for youth and I love them all!
Lioness Quartet, Wild Magic Quartet, Trickster, etc. - Tamora Pierce
Tamora Pierce's books are mainly set in the land of Tortall in medieval times, they use the same characters just at different stages of their lives and different books/series' focus on different people. They consist of fighting, magic, love, etc.
The diaries of kelly ann (2 books) & Jumping to Confusions - by Liz Rettig
These recount the goings on of an older teenager as she strugles to make decisions and learn to trust in others. The second one, Now or Never is about her relationship with a boy and is funny but romantic and suspencful at the same time.
It's A Mall World After All - Not sure who wrote it though...
Comedy of a girl and how she falls in love with her best friend's boyfriend's bestfriend while stalking her friend's boyfriend in an attempt to prove he is a lying cheating scumbag. A very good read & lovey but funny at the same time.
I'd Tell You I Love You But I'd Have to Kill You - Ally Carter
About a girl brought up as a spy and enrolled in a leading spy school who falls in love with an ordinary boy and can’t tell him who she actually is. Funny. There is a second in the series called To Spy or Not to Spy, it’s just as good.
Possibly the S.A.S.S. series - Numerous Authors
About the travels of students and what happens to them on their stay - love etc. Not brill but an ok read
Inheritance Cycle - Christopher Paloini
Love them, you have to read them, Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr!
Sweet Valley High Books - ???
I can’t remember who wrote these but they’re a pretty good read even if they are kind of old. If you’re into series’s these are good as their’s over 100 books
The Last Summer (Of You and Me) - Ann Brashares
A good book but immensly sad, it is probably better for older teens or adults. [ Katlyn's advice column | Ask Katlyn A Question ]
