Rainbowheart | 28670 comments I'd like to try to find YA romance books where the girl is taller than the guy, and this isn't portrayed as a negative thing.

The only one I know of is Anna and the French Kiss. The heroine is three inches taller than the hero.

Anyone know of more? YA only, please no NA.

Willow Anne | 77 comments At the moment I can't recall reading any that specifically mentioned the girl was taller than the guy, but I found a list on this exact topic:

I hope some of these are what you're looking for!

Rainbowheart | 28670 comments Awesome, thanks!

Most of those are adult, but it does list Summer in the City, which is definitely YA.

Robert (ricroscupshigh) | 541 comments The Catalogue of the Universe, by Margaret Mahy?

"The book follows the evolving relationship between two teenagers: nerdy intellectual Tycho Potter and high school princess Angela May, who despite their differences are best friends. The plot centers around Tycho's observation that things which look as though they "ought" to be simple and symmetric really have a "wobble" to them. This is poignantly demonstrated when Angela's romantic dreams about her father (whom she never knew) are shattered when she actually meets him."

I'm sure I remember a scene where he has to stand on an encyclopaedia in order to kiss her.

Rainbowheart | 28670 comments Thanks, Robert! I just looked up the scene, and you're right. He does stand on a book to kiss her.
