ahh this is like my specialty!! i might have to make two comments haha

xoxo by axie oh (i’m sure the sequel is clean as well, i haven’t read it yet bc im waiting for it to come out in paperback!)

you’ve reached sam by dustin thao

the sun is also a star by nicola yoon

highly suspicious and unfairly cute by talia hibbert (all of her other books have a little bit of spice i’ve heard but this one is her ya debut and it’s completely clean!!)

the canterwood crest series by jessica burkhart (it is more middle grade and is like a 20 book series but if you haven’t read it and want something nostalgic with drama, i’d go for it!!)

when in rome and practice makes perfect by sarah adams (pmp may have ONE scene but it’s not descriptive at all and is easy to skip but it’s honestly funny 😭)

the selection series by kiera cass (i honestly only recommend 1-3 or to happily ever after bc their daughter is annoying but feel free to read if you’d like!)

When in Rome Series - Sarah Adams (level 2 spice - behind closed doors)

Use the website romance.io. It gives you the spice rating in the books. What you are looking for is a level 2 spice or lower. The website should help you find books or know when a book is too spicy for you!

Better than the movies (or any Lynn Painter book I would say)
the upside of falling
the naturals (not completely sure but I think so)
five survive
none shall sleep
the summer of broken rules

Also Powerless by Lauren Roberts

The naturals, none shall sleep and five survive are not romance books, but they have a little romance and I think they are really good (:
