Clara Lee and the Apple Pie Dream
Same author's warm, understated voice about a girl finding confidence; younger heroine and no romance, so it's sweeter and simpler.
P.S. I Still Love You
Same author's tender, chaste teen longing and friends-to-lovers ache, but older heroine and an actual romance plot with a guaranteed happy pairing.
My True Love Gave to Me
Same gentle, no-heat teen romance feeling, including a Jenny Han story; cozier and wintry rather than a single coming-of-age arc.
