My True Love Gave to Me
Same author's warm, wholesome voice in short holiday servings, but aimed at teens with first-kiss romance instead of grade-school pluck.
Always and Forever, Lara Jean
Same author's warm family-centered voice with Korean American sisters and baking, but aged up to a teen romance with a wedding and first love.
P.S. I Still Love You
Han again, with the same sweet family-centered Korean American heroine energy, just older and focused on romantic confusion.
Anna and the French Kiss
Keeps the gentle, feel-good tone of growing into confidence, but adds a teen love triangle and slow-burn abroad.
The Selection Stories
Another wish-to-be-chosen competition story, though swapped for royal dystopian stakes and teen romance instead of a small-town pageant.
The Siren
Shares the longing-for-a-different-life heart, but far darker and more melancholy with immortality and sacrifice.
