Top Contemporaries On My TBR!

Hey guys, this is Abi here,

And I was genuinely stuck on what to post for tonight. I started off looking for upcoming releases, when I released that, aside from a select couple, I'm not really looking forward to much in the next couple of months.

And then I started to think about my top contemporaries that I want to pick up.

And the list just started to pile up!

Enjoy!

1. The Exact Opposite of Okay, by Laura Steven

This has been out for so long, the second book is already out, and I still haven't picked up book 1. I've heard absolutely amazing things of this novel, and it's been on my TBR since it's release nearly 18 months ago. All I know about this book is that it's from the point of view of Izzy O' Neill, who has been publically humiliated. She's trying to keep her head up above water, but that's almost impossible. It sounds quite good, and I'm looking forward to picking it up soon.

2. You'll Miss Me When I'm Gone, by Rachel Lynn Soloman

What grabbed me about this book was the premise. It's from the point of view of twins, that are basically chalk and cheese. They have little in common, other than their blind ambition. Then their mother is diagnosed with huntington's. The women they both loved is now a stranger, and the delicate bond they both shared has now shattered. After they both take the genetic test, there's no going back. One twin tests negative. And the other tests positive. This promises to be an intense read, and I can't wait to pick this one up and delve straight in.

3. Autoboyography, by Christina Lauren

Now, this will be one of the cute ones. All of Booktube love this book, not just because it's got an LGBT romance within it's pages, but because it's unbelievably cute! Not to mention the gorgeous cover.

4. Opposite of Always, by Justin A. Reynolds

This is the book that I'll be picking up first, as it's on my TBR for the month. Once again, it's the premise that made this book sound interesting to me. When Jack falls for Kate hard, he's devastated when she drops dead six months later. The story should end there. But when he goes back to the day when he met her for the first time, he has a choice. What is he willing to sacrifice to save the people he loves? I'll get to find out in this book, and I can't wait.

5. Eliza and Her Monsters, by Francesca Zappia

From reading the blurb, this book is much more than a shy girl becoming her own in the outside world, not online. The hype is so big for this book, everybody who likes contemporary that discuss difficult issues loves it. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy.

6. Paperweight, by Meg Haston

Even from just the blurb, this book gives clues that it contains some heavy themes. Trigger warnings being suicide, eating disorders, and losing a loved one. If you even consider picking this one up, make sure you're in the right head space to do so. This story takes place in a treatment centre in New Mexico desert, in the middle of nowhere. Everybody on Goodreads has given this at least 3 stars, and I will definitely be picking this up soon, because it's so important to spread the word about mental health and eating disorders to stop the subjects being taboo.

Okay! So those are the contemporaries on the top of my TBR! I hope you enjoyed it, and let me know what contemporaries you want to read next.

Right! I hope you have a wonderful day, and I'll see you all soon!

Byeeeee!
