21 Engrossing Contemporary YA Novels to Read Right Now

"There is nothing better than a good contemporary read. Sure, I sometimes love to whisk myself away to fantasy worlds or immerse myself in books that show us a glimpse of what life was like a few hundred years ago, but usually, it's the contemporary books that strike me the most. I connect with them on a personal level because the stories feel like they could happen to someone I know." (Sam Benson/Riveted)
