Anne Rouyer, Supervising Librarian at the New York Public Library has fallen

so head over heels for Lara Jean and Peter Kavinsky in To All The Boys I've Loved Before that she wants everyone to pick their next romance book right now.  

Here are some of her recommendations, which she describes as "teen romances filled with book/film/music-loving girls, secret crushes, opposites attracting, fake boyfriends, strangers meeting cute, love triangles, and boys every bit as swoonable as Peter Kavinsky!"

Always Never Yours by Emily Wibberley

Megan is the girl that boys date right before they find true love. Thanks to her, all of Megan's exes are happily in love with other girls. Which is fine. No really! It gives her more time for her theater dreams and finding the next cute boy to hook up with.

This time, she’s playing Juliet in a school production of Romeo & Juliet and has her eye on a sexy stagehand, but things aren’t going as planned. Enter Owen Okita, an aspiring playwright who, in exchange for help with his new play, will help Megan get the attention of the new guy.

Once and For All by Sarah Dessen

Having a successful wedding planner for a mother means there isn’t a wedding crisis that Louna can’t handle, from runaway brides to sweaty grooms. But when it comes to love and boys, or even a little flirtation, she's out of her depth.

After a failed relationship, Louna's cynicism about love and boys runs deep. Enter Ambrose, the easygoing, incredibly good-looking, serial-dating son of a bride who takes nothing seriously and loves a challenge. The no-nonsense Louna might just be the girl he’s been waiting for. Unfortunately for Ambrose, Louna will be a pretty hard nut to crack.
