New Teen Romance – January 2025 

We updated our Teen Romance list in time for February, and here are six of our favorite titles. 

In All Alone with You by Amelia Diane Coombs, loner Eloise agrees to volunteer to help out seniors so she can pad her college applications. Her trainer and partner, Austin, takes an instant liking to her, but her anxiety may sink any chance at a relationship.  Their main charge, an aging rocker from the ‘90s, may have some insight into relationships, but will it be enough to help Eloise? 

Robbie Couch’s novel If I See You Again Tomorrow follows Clark, who has lived inside a time loop for over 300 days, living and reliving almost the exact same events.  But on day 310, Beau—a mysterious, handsome, and bold stranger—singles out Clark to join him on a joyride that may just break the cycle.   

In The Princess and the Grilled Cheese Sandwich, a graphic novel by Deya Muniz, Countess Camembert cannot inherit her father’s kingdom—but if she disguises herself as Count Camembert, she can inherit the kingdom and possibly marry Princess Brie, the girl of her dreams. 

Eric Smith’s novel With or Without You follows Jordan and Cindy, who have a very public feud outside of their families’ food trucks, which helps drum up business for everyone. But when they are offered a chance to show their rivalry on reality TV, their secret, happy relationship may fall apart. 

In Rey Terciero’s graphic novel Northranger, Cade is horrified to learn he must work his summer job at a local ranch, but meeting Henry is a definite plus. Henry’s reluctance to disclose what he knows about the ghosts at the ranch, however, means Cade must dig where he isn’t wanted.  

Jeff Zentner’s novel Sunrise Nights follows Cade and Florence, who meet at a summer camp for young artists, where they confront their fears and anxieties over the course of one final night. Though they feel a deep connection, they agree not to communicate for one whole year.  Will a year apart bring them closer together?
