Four teenagers face a deadly situation when a private
sailboat charter goes awry. A
social media star must find the courage to be authentic as her world falls apart. Two young lovers fight back against a tyrannical regime in
historical Korea.
Those are just three of the stories currently in circulation on YA bookshelves, and we’re not even getting into all the supernatural stuff—the
theater for immortals, say, or that
interdimensional B&B in Vermont.
We’ve collected below 51 of the most popular new young adult books among Goodreads regulars. Each of these titles is recently released—published between January and the end of May this year—and each has an average reader rating of 3.5 stars or better.

The Escape Game is a YA mystery set amid the production of an escape-room-themed reality show.
Gabi Burton’s fantasy
To Steal a Throne features palace intrigue and a magic system based on skillful lying. And
Emiko Jean’s rom-com
Love Me Tomorrow asks a simple question: What’s a girl supposed to do with love letters from the future?
