And also a book for fashion lovers. We’ve recently ordered the following selection of non-supernatural romance titles:

Teen Vogue Handbook “an insider’s guide to careers in fashion” – have a look at the book preview here.

How I Made it to Eighteen by Tracy White, which is a graphic novel about coping with depression – here’s the author’s page dedicated to the book.

Some other (pretty serious) fiction:

Behind You and From the Notebooks of Melanin Sun both by Jacqueline Woodson.  Behind You is the sequel to If You Come Softly: 15 year old Miah has died, and his girlfriend, best friend, and parents are coming to terms. Melanin Sun is a 14 year old whose mother drops a bombshell: she’s in love with a woman.

Tweaked by Katherine Holubitsky. Gord’s brother is a drug addict whose troubles are destroying their family.

I know It’s Over by C.K. Martin. Sixteen-year-old Nick comes to terms with the idea of being a father when his temporarily-estranged girlfriend announces she is pregnant.

Juggling Fire by Joanne Bell. Rachel’s father disappears in the Yukon wilderness (Northern Canada), so she confronts danger (there be bears in Canada!) and loneliness as she hikes, trying to find clues as to what happened.

Other by Karen Kincy. Okay, we told an untruth: one supernatural romance (although possibly more supernatural thriller, maybe?). Stephanie says: “she can change into a bird!”
