I'm looking for the best books you've read that are in the "new adult" genre, ideally set at college/university, with characters from the age of 18-25. No genre (scifi/horror/fantasy) picks please, I'm looking for more contemporary or literary novels.

{{ Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow }} technically spans more of the main characters’ lives but, to me, it felt like it fit this vibe. The bulk of it occurs during college/early adulthood. It’s contemporary fiction!
The main characters of {{ The Incendiaries by R. O. Kwon }} are university students.
{{Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi}} is about a woman getting her PhD, though the focus is more on her family challenges than academia.
