Question: Young adult/adult romance books!?!?!?
Hi!. I'm 18 and i'm looking for a read with characters that are between the ages of 17 and late 20s!.!.!.the book has to deal with serious issues such as sex/drugs/alcohol/rape/abuse/etc!.!.!.i'm looking for something in the adult area without being ridiculously cheesy or a porno!. tastefully done!. i've read the TWILIGHTseries and i loved it (especially the 4th book) as well as a few of SARAH DESSEN's books but i'm looking for something a little more romantic relationship focused as opposed to having other storylines tied into it!.!.!.you know i!.e!. finding the meaning of friendship or family and stuff like that!. i really like most of sara dessen's books but they can be a little too sheltered for my taste especially when it comes to endings!.!.!. i like happy endings with the couple and something mostly FOCUSED on romance would be best!. i really like the guy saves girl or girl saves guy kind of idea as well as the forbidden romance!.!.!. sorry if i sound picky but i've been reading a lot of books and none of them seem to have what i'm looking for!.!.!.
so obviously the book doesn't have to have ALL of these requirements in it but if it had a a good amount of them would be preferable!.
sorry, i know that is a lot of requirements but anything you can think of would be appreciated!. thank you so much!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think I may have recommended my book to you before!. City of Dreams, it's got a lot of the things you're looking for in it!. It's a more mature book, with language that I refuse to let my grandmother read XD It's got alcohol and psychological abuse!. The main characters are all in their mid-twenties, and the focus is very much on the romance!.
Anyway my appologies if I already replied to you!.
You can find City of Dreams here:
