Laura Jean has loved five boys throughout her life, and although she would never admit it, one of those boys is her sister’s boyfriend. So in order to process her secret feelings, Laura Jean writes each one of them a letter, but of course, she never actually intends on sending them; these letters are for her eyes only.
But her younger sister, Kitty, has other ideas, and she sends out Laura’s letters to the unsuspecting recipients. Now, Laura’s imaginary love life turns very real and very complicated, as she’s forced to confront the truth head-on.
5. The Sisterhood Series by Ann Brashares
This Smash-hit series, made famous by the movie The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, tells the story of four close female friends and one pair of pants, which, despite their different sizes, fits them all perfectly.

They soon discover they’re something magical about these pants, and each girl that wears them is in for an unforgettable summer.
6. The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot
Written by Meg Cabot, this is the epic series that inspired the blockbuster movie of the same name. It tells the tale of Amelia “Mia” Thermopolis, a teenage girl from New York City. As a freshman in high school, Mia lives a regular life like all the other kids in her class, until one day, she finds out that she is heir to the throne of a small European principality named Genovia.

But then a girl, the first girl he’s seen since his memory was erased, arrives. With it, she brings a chance of escape and the answers he’s been longing for.
8. Mara Dyer Trilogy by Michelle Hodkin

Terrified by her newfound curse, she seeks help from her friend Noah, the only one who seems to understand her. But does he know the truth behind her horrific powers?
9. The Covenant Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Pure-bloods are at the top of the hierarchy; they have the power of the gods and can manifest anything they desire. But Half-bloods are not so lucky; they can either become a servant for the full-bloods or train as a Sentinel warrior.
