The Love Hypothesis, by Ali Hazelwood — the lab romance nobody grows tired of talking about. And Shatter Me, by Tahereh Mafi — dystopia with poetic prose and a huge fandom.
Both already have pages on the site, with everything you need to start.
For the pile
- It Ends with Us, by Colleen Hoover — the biggest name in contemporary romance in Brazil.
- Fourth Wing, by Rebecca Yarros — the dragon romantasy that took over the lists.
- The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, by Taylor Jenkins Reid — a story that speaks to the modern reader.
- The Midnight Library, by Matt Haig — a read about choices, light and deep in exactly the right measure.
- Heartstopper, by Alice Oseman — a graphic novel that became a series and hugs the heart of whoever reads it.
None of these titles is mandatory — they're the ones that turn up most in the conversations we follow and the ones that slip most easily into any reading mood.
