I absoloutly love Meg Cabot's books! I would especially recommend the Girl Meets Boy & Guy Next Door as well as the third in that series, I immensly enjoyed them! Some are intended for adults but most for youth and I love them all!

Lioness Quartet, Wild Magic Quartet, Trickster, etc!. - Tamora Pierce
Tamora Pierce's books are mainly set in the land of Tortall in medieval times, they use the same characters just at different stages of their lives and different books/series' focus on different people!. They consist of fighting, magic, love, etc!.

The diaries of kelly ann (2 books) & Jumping to Confusions - by Liz Rettig
These recount the goings on of an older teenager as she strugles to make decisions and learn to trust in others!. The second one, Now or Never is about her relationship with a boy and is funny but romantic and suspencful at the same time!.

It's A Mall World After All - Not sure who wrote it though!.!.!.

I'd Tell You I Love You But I'd Have to Kill You - Ally Carter
About a girl brought up as a spy and enrolled in a leading spy school who falls in love with an ordinary boy and can’t tell him who she actually is!. Funny!. There is a second in the series called To Spy or Not to Spy, it’s just as good!.

Possibly the S!.A!.S!.S!. series - Numerous Authors
About the travels of students and what happens to them on their stay - love etc!. Not brill but an ok read

Inheritance Cycle - Christopher Paloini
Love them, you have to read them, Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr!

Sweet Valley High Books - !?!?!?
I can’t remember who wrote these but they’re a pretty good read even if they are kind of old!. If you’re into series’s these are good as their’s over 100 books

The Last Summer (Of You and Me) - Ann Brashares
A good book but immensly sad, it is probably better for older teens or adults!.

The Guardians of Time Trilogy!. The books have to deal with two forces that can travel back in time!. One is trying to destroy history while the other has to stop them!. There is a prophecy about a group called The Named, they all have special powers and will eventually destroy the evil forces in the world!. Has tons of romance incorporated in it but also tons of adventure!. One of the most amazing books ever, and it is not sci-fi like it might sound because of the going back in time thing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I suggest Looking for Alaska!.
This is an amazing book!.
It isn't so much of a Love Story but, nonetheless a great read!.
Here's an excerpt!.

"So do you really memorize last words!?"
She ran up beside me and grabbed my shoulder and pushed me back onto the porch swing!.

"Yeah," I said!. And then hesitantly, I added, "You want to quiz me!?"

"JFK," she said!.

"That's obvious," I answered!.

"Oh, is it now!?" she asked!.

"No!. Those were his last words!. Someone said, 'Mr!. President, you can't say Dallas doesn't love you,' and then he said, 'That's obvious,' and then he got shot!."

She laughed!. "God, that's awful!. I shouldn't laugh!. But I will," and then she laughed again!. "Okay, Mr!. Famous Last Words Boy!. I have one for you!." She reached into her overstuffed backpack and pulled out a book!. "Gabriel García Márquez!. The General in His Labyrinth!. Absolutely one of my favorites!. It's about Simón Bolívar!." I didn't know who Simón Bolívar was, but she didn't give me time to ask!. "It's a historical novel, so I don't know if this is true, but in the book, do you know what his last words are!? No, you don't!. But I am about to tell you, Se?or Parting Remarks!."

And then she lit a cigarette and sucked on it so hard for so long that I thought the entire thing might burn off in one drag!. She exhaled and read to me:

" 'He' -- that's Simón Bolívar -- 'was shaken by the overwhelming revelation that the headlong race between his misfortunes and his dreams was at that moment reaching the finish line!. The rest was darkness!. "Damn it," he sighed!. "How will I ever get out of this labyrinth!" ' " I knew great last words when I heard them, and I made a mental note to get ahold of a biography of this Simón Bolívar fellow!. Beautiful last words, but I didn't quite understand!. "So what's the labyrinth!?" I asked her!.

And now is as good a time as any to say that she was beautiful!. In the dark beside me, she smelled of sweat and sunshine and vanilla, and on that thin-mooned night I could see little more than her silhouette except for when she smoked, when the burning cherry of the cigarette washed her face in pale red light!. But even in the dark, I could see her eyes -- fierce emeralds!. She had the kind of eyes that predisposed you to supporting her every endeavor!. And not just beautiful, but hot, too, with her breasts straining against her tight tank top, her curved legs swinging back and forth beneath the swing, flip-flops dangling from her electric-blue-painted toes!. It was right then, between when I asked about the labyrinth and when she answered me, that I realized the importance of curves, of the thousand places where girls' bodies ease from one place to another, from arc of the foot to ankle to calf, from calf to hip to waist to breast to neck to ski-slope nose to forehead to shoulder to the concave arch of the back to the butt to the etc!. I'd noticed curves before, of course, but I had never quite apprehended their significance!.

Her mouth close enough to me that I could feel her breath warmer than the air, she said, "That's the mystery, isn't it!? Is the labyrinth living or dying!? Which is he trying to escape -- the world or the end of it!?" I waited for her to keep talking, but after a while it became obvious she wanted an answer!.

"Uh, I don't know," I said finally!. "Have you really read all those books in your room!?"

She laughed!. "Oh God no!. I've maybe read a third of 'em!. But I'm going to read them all!. I call it my Life's Library!. Every summer since I was little, I've gone to garage sales and bought all the books that looked interesting!. So I always have something to read!. But there is so much to do: cigarettes to smoke, sex to have, swings to swing on!. I'll have more time for reading when I'm old and boring!."

She told me that I reminded her of the Colonel when he came to Culver Creek!. They were freshmen together, she said, both scholarship kids with, as she put it, "a shared interest in booze and mischief!." The phrase booze and mischief left me worrying I'd stumbled into what my mother referred to as "the wrong crowd," but for the wrong crowd, they both seemed awfully smart!. As she lit a new cigarette off the butt of her previous one, she told me that the Colonel was smart but hadn't done much living when he got to the Creek!.

"I got rid of that problem quickly!." She smiled!. "By November, I'd gotten him his first girlfriend, a perfectly nice non-Weekday Warrior named Janice!. He dumped her after a month because she was too rich for his poverty-soaked blood, but whatever!. We pulled our first prank that year -- we filled Classroom Four with a thin layer of marbles!. We've progressed some since then, of course!." She laughed!. So Chip became the Colonel -- the military-style planner of their pranks, and Alaska was ever Alaska, the larger-than-life creative force behind them!.

"You're smart like him," she said!. "Quieter, though!. And cuter, but I didn't even just say that, because I love my boyfriend!."
