The Most Popular Young Adult Books of the Year (So Far)

"As part of our informal midyear reflection series, we're looking back on the first half of 2023 to see which books are proving most popular across various genres. This is always a good way to find leads on new books that have been vouched for by your fellow Goodreaders.

Today we turn down the young adult aisle. The selections below are the most popular YA books of the year on Goodreads so far, as determined by reader reviews, star ratings (these books each have an average of 3.5 stars or above), and the good ole Want to Read and Read shelves.

Some highlights, in no particular order: Angeline Boulley tells the tale of a righteous heist for stolen artifacts in Warrior Girl Unearthed. Liselle Sambury offers a ghost story with dual timelines in Delicious Monsters. And Tess Sharpe tells of two girls and the six times they almost kissed in the cleverly titled romance 6 Times We Almost Kissed. (There are also some particularly cool cover art images in this collection.)"
