I'm still not sure if its me who has outgrown them or if its her fault. <br /><br />I loved your post. Being an Indian I could connect with all that you're saying. Her love stories are so real. I can't describe them any other way.

I recommend any one among This Lullaby, Just Listen, The Truth about Forever, Along for the Ride.Samadritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559209065320147413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8218130008750178667.post-25356498257499322032013-09-18T13:23:48.784+05:302013-09-18T13:23:48.784+05:30Fantastic post Sama.

As someone who's still a hapless teen at heart, I understand when you talk about the insight one can glean from YA - especially when all that Indian literature has to offer are the super-cliched regurgitated bollywood-style tales of first love. I have read some great YA contemporaries this year and while I know I will one day outgrow this genre, I cannot deny the importance of having read these books at this particular time in my life.<br /><br />On a different note, I must get my hands on a Dessen book soon :)Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17080065267287417072noreply@blogger.com
