Weird Question From An Author

[S.B.]

Hello Everyone!

My name is S.B. Roozenboom, an author and reader of Young Adult and New Adult titles. Some of my favorite reads are Winter Song, A Heart So Fierce and Broken, and of course, Twilight (I know, I know but come on it was a cult classic from my era!) :)

I hope I have this post in the right spot! I have a question for readers because I've been out of the loop for a while: in a contemporary young adult novel, what draws you in the most? Do you love a good, complicated romance? Do you like family sagas or books about relationships about parents and their kids? What do you not want in a young adult contemporary?

I would love to hear your answers!!! Please respond below or email me sbkraft@yahoo.com . Thanks so much! :)

I like detailed, layered characters, who are unique. Books that are emotional but happy are enjoyable! Some of my dislikes are insta-love, common stereotypes, and slow-paced books.

Complicated romances with proper plot twists which give you pieces of the story slowly are what truly engages me - stories where you think you understand only to have your perceptions challenged and adjusted. Hope this helps 😊
