50 books like The Fault In Our Stars

I loved The Fault In Our Stars. It's definitely one of the best YA novels I've read for the past couple of years. It made me laugh, it made me cry and it made me appreciate my life more.
The book gets really a lot of mixed reviews but I decided to give it a try and I really liked it. Most of you may know the movie but I didn't enjoy it that much. Still it's worth watching once you read the book. 
For those of you who didn't read it, it's a story about the 16 year old girl Hazel with stage 4 cancer who has been living with this diagnose since she was 12. She knows she's going to die and the only thing that keeps the tumor from killing her is the drug. At a support groups she meets Augustus, a cute boy in remission, that will change her life forever.
For those of you who already read it, I have a list of books that you may like if you liked The Fault in Our Stars.
Here is my list of books like The Fault in Our Stars:

1. The Sea of Tranquility

The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay is a beautiful novel about two teens trying to deal with life-changing tragedies.
I loved this books even more than I loved The Fault in Our Stars. It gets better and better with every page.
Both of the main characters are amazing. The story is told in a two person POV. It's not some silly cliche romantic book. What an absolute emotional rollercoaster.
One of my favorite reads this year.
 





2. How to Save a Life 

How to Save a Life by Sara Zarr is a story about Jill MacSweeney, a girl who just lost her dad and has been isolating herself from everything around her. Her boyfriend, her best friends and basically from every person who wants to help her.

She knows the feeling and when she gets pregnant Mandy knows that she will never treat her child like her mother did. She's hoping she will find someone to care for her too.
Reading about pregnant teens isn't the thing I like in books but this one really surprised me. A beautiful and well written novel.



3-5. The Ruby Red Trilogy
Okay, this trilogy's plot isn't similar to The Fault in Our Stars but I found it in every article about books you gonna like if you liked TFIOS so I decided to give it a try. I loved it. The Ruby Red Trilogy follow the story of Gwendolyn Shepherd, a time-traveling girl living in contemporary London. An amazing read for every YA novels fan.
        

6. Looking for Alibrandi

Looking for Alibrandi by Melinda Marchetta is another one of the books like The Fault in Our Stars. It's the debut novel by Marchetta. Most of you probably know her because of her Printz-winning Jellicoe Road.
It's a story about Josephine Alibrandi and her final year at high school. A year that she will discover love, a year that she will find about all of her family's secrets and the year that she will sets herself free.
A must read if you are a fan of young adult novels.

Speechless is a beautiful book by Hannah Harrington. It follows the story of Chelsea Knot, a girl that can't keep secrets. That's until the moment she shared one secret that destroyed her social life and almost got someone killed.
Now Chelsea decides to be silent. She decides to keep her mouth shut so no one else is hurt. She stays quiet when people ignore her, make fun of her and even attack her.

A must read!





13. Forbidden

Okay, a lot of people suggested this one as one of the books like The Fault in Our Stars so I had to put it on here even if I haven't read it yet.
I find the plot kinda shocking but I will let you decide.
It's about the pretty sixteen year old Maya that was never been kissed before and the seventeen year old Lochan. Maya and Lochan fell in love with each other but the thing is they are brother and sister.
I know this book is kinda relevant because for sure there are people like this in the world but I couldn't get to read it because I know I couldn't sympathize with the characters.





14. Adorkable 

 Adorkable by Sarra Manning is another book that you my like if you liked The Fault in Our Stars. It was suggested to me by one of my readers. It's about the very successful blogger Jeane Smith who also has half a million Twitter followers and her weird relationship with the star at the school Michael Lee. They have nothing in common but they just can't get enough of each other.
I haven't read the book yet but I read couple of reviews about it and I am planning to buy it next week.

 My friends recommended me Ask the Passengers by A.S. King. I read it in 4 days and I loved it.
It's about Astrid Jones who desperately needs support but she won't get it from her parents. She's falling in love with a girl, she's confused and she feels completely alone. She can't share her secret with anyone.
It's a simple and beautiful story about a girl that tries to break free in the society.
I am sure a lot of girls out there have the same struggles as Astrid and they can identify with her. If you are into this kind of books I strongly recommend it.




16. Dash & Lily's Book of Dares 

Dash & Lily's Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan is probably one of my favorite books in this list.
I have to warn you that this book receives mixed reviews so a lot of you may not find it as good as I did.
I read it just before Christmas when I felt a little bit down and it really improved my mood.
It's an unique story about Lily who has left her red notebook full of all kind of challenges on a shelf in her favorite bookstore. She's waiting for the right guy to come and accept her challenges.
