This might be a dumb question, since I have read contemporary novels, but what defines a book to be contemporary?

[[deleted user]]

Not sure but in my personal definition:
a book that takes place in present day.(aka not 40s,50s,1500 etc etc but 2000-- till today)
and where the action is "realistic",aka no magic,no killer robots.
a "unrealistic" contemporary is the princess diaries,etc etc.not impossible but not likely.

Mostly we define them as the ones besides fantasy. So no magic, aliens, vampires and stuff like that.

I really enjoy read these books especially Slammed and Point of Retreat.

[Gisbelle]

I've read and loved them too (except Point of Retreat)... Anyway, Beautiful Disaster is not a YA.

a really good series, told from a male pov, full of laughs, relatable plots and just all around enjoyable.

[Alyanna]

Read ! It's a really fun contemporary read! One of the best.

The Sound of Love

And this is the blurb:

**************
It is the nineties, the decade of boy bands. Every girl is in love with the Funky Guys, the most famous boy band of them all, dominating the charts worldwide.

Nina Bains is a 16-year-old schoolgirl from Southampton. She lives the life of every teenager going to school, hanging out with her friends and fantasizing about Chris Mulligan, one of the charismatic lead singers of the Funky Guys.

Until one day by sheer coincidence Nina has the chance to get to know Chris personally. They fall in love and their two worlds collide with such a force that Nina is knocked out of her everyday life before she even realizes what is happening. As she is drawn more and more into Chris' world, she suddenly finds herself on tour with a boy band phenomenon in a whirlwind of fancy hotels, tour buses, venues, fans, groupies and music. Soon she realizes all that glitters is not gold and she has to question everything she once believed in.

Will Nina survive life on the road? Is her love for Chris worth risking everything? And above all: Does Chris even understand the meaning of love?
