* Some of these do have a little romance, but it’s more background. I would not class any of these a romance books. It’s very hard to find YA books with no romance/relationships (I’m not a big fan of myself)*

It’s poking fun at pulp scify with some hilarious use and subversion of tropes, ||including the romance trope||. If you’re sick of the forced romance nonsense go for it.

‘Eleanor & Park’ by Rainbow Rowell is a young adult romance that captures the sweetness and intensity of first love. Set in the 1980s, it’s a story about two misfits finding solace and understanding in each other, and I always find it utterly authentic and touching.
