Spring Must Reads!

Here's my list of must reads for Spring!

1. The Start of Me and You - Paige is dealing with the loss of her first boyfriend, the power of female friendships and her relationship with her grandmother. This is a really sweet story that will have you turning pages at the speed of light. 
2. Anna and the French Kiss - Anna is sent to a boarding school in Paris where she immediately befriends Meredith, Josh, Rashmi and St Clair. This book is full of cheesy romance that you'd expect from a YA contemporary, however, every character is fully fleshed out. Anna finds herself falling for the off-limits St Clair, not only does he have a girlfriend but also Meredith has had a long-term crush on him too.
3. To All The Boys I've Loved Before - We follow Lara Jean who writes love letters to the five boys she's loved. She has never sent these letters, they're for herself. However, one day the letters are sent off and Lara Jean's love life starts to crumble. The relationship between the three sisters feels authentic. I love the interaction between Lara and each of the boys.
4. Billy and Me - Sophie May's day to day life is mostly uneventful as she works in a little tea shop with her best friend Molly. Then an actor comes to town and sweeps Sophie May off her feet. This adorable story is also heartbreaking and emotional as Sophie May comes under constant criticism. A real page-turner and I have also love Giovanna Fletcher's newer books, with Eve of Man being published in May. (co-written with her husband Tom)
5. Moxie - Trigger warning for sexual harassment, rape/sexual assault. This is a book with a strong and powerful message of feminism and speaking up for your opinion no matter how many people are against you. Viv is an inspirational main character that all girls/women should stand beside. The love interest, Seth, is unlike other male characters in that he listens to Viv's opinions and learns from his mistakes. He takes her seriously and their romance doesn't outweigh the feminist message.

These must reads are not newly released books but books that I love for Spring, have strong messages and I could read over and over again.
