10 books everyone between 18 and 30 should read

An NA classic that straddles YA, "Slammed" weaves breathtaking poetry through a deeply romantic story shaped by loss, confusion, and hope.

Layken and Will immediately hit it off after their first date to a poetry slam. When the truth comes out about who they both are, they're forced to remain apart and communicate only through stolen moments and rhythmic lines.

There will be more Colleen Hoover to come in this roundup, since she's an incredibly prolific NA author who seems to pop out books faster than her beloved "CoHorts" can read them.

Wanting to please your parents but be your own person? Check. Feeling inadequate when you don't have your life together the way you thought you would? Check.

Getting lost, but ultimately understanding yourself better as a result? But of course.

Avery escaped her small Texas town to attend college thousands of miles away in West Virginia. She just wants to keep her head down and rebuild her future after viscious rumors nearly ruined her.

The last thing she expects, or wants, is campus demigod Cameron Hamilton's attention. But that's just what she gets, and he doesn't give up easily.

Unlike many books that cast the love interest as a friendly but persistant stalker, Cam's affection comes across as sincere and endearing. It's a refreshing take on the "broken girl learns to love again due to the unrelenting efforts of a hunky boy" trope.

It starts with a bet. If Eastern University's "walking one-night-stand" Travis Maddox loses, he has to remain abstinent for a month. If the prim, cardigan-wearing Abby Abernathy loses, she has to live with him for a month.

They say opposites attract, but it's a disaster waiting to happen.

Sydney's boyfriend cheated on her with her best friend. Then she meets Ridge, a gorgeous, thoughtful, guitar-playing songwriter who is deaf. And has a girlfriend. Uh oh.

At least their entangled, slow-building relationship gives them plenty to write songs about.

The coolest part is that a singer-songwriter named Griffin Peterson actually wrote the music that appears in the book. You can download the tracks with a QR code that comes tucked into the cover, or listen along with links in the ebook version.

Will she learn to make it on her own and start writing her own stories?

Rowell's understanding of fandoms and nerd culture shines through, resulting in a funny, awkward, and poignant coming-of-age story.

Evie, Krista, and Willow are your typical 20-somethings trying to make ends meet in New York City. When a fairy godmother presents them with a potion that grants them supermodel looks, their careers and personal lives skyrocket into success.

But pretty always has an ugly side, and magical realism always has a catch.

Every genre has its cliches, right? From protagonist Cammie's "troubled past" to her "slightly-less-attractive best friend" Enid to stumbling into the rich, brooding love interest's arms at a party who has stubble "like black pepper tossed artfully over an omlette," Morgan lovingly but ruthlessly skewers NA fiction.

Think "Not Another Teen Movie," but in book form.
