i second american royals or prison healer! i’ve had both on my bookshelf for a while

[McKenzie (showgirl vrs)]

I third American royals

[Cameron]

hey I'm new but I recently read Salt to the sea it was a fascinating YA historical fiction that's clean but a little dark I would also like to recommend Heartless by Mallisa Myer as a good option also squeaky clean!!

[Kendall]

The Do-Over

[hafna]

i third the prison healer!

[ProseAndPetals]

I nominate Powerless by Lauren Roberts. I am planning on doing a buddy read with this book with my friend at school so it would be perfect if this is the botm!

[alexandra]

I nominate AGGGTM!

[tenley 📚]

Yes aggtm

[tenley 📚]

Also if he had been with me is clean

[ProseAndPetals]

Umm I don’t agree there is a scene that is very descriptive.

[Lucy]

American royals!

[marleigh]

The prison healer!

[Audrey 🤍]

I vote Caraval or heartstopper

[ray ౨ৎ]

If he had been with me isn’t clean. Theres many references to s3x, a spice scene at the end, and lots of other inappropriate stuff

I second The Do-Over

[matéa ✩‧₊˚ ˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚]
