    I don't know how I hadn't heard of The Book of Broken Hearts until now! I *loved* To All The Boys I've Loved Before and Burn For Burn though - I can't believe I didn't think of them to go on my TTT.

    I've been wanting to read Liar and Everything Leads to You forever and really have no excuse to not have by now! And I had no clue there were diverse characters in From What I Remember! That has renewed my interest in it! :D

    Here's my top ten!

    Fab list! I know a lot of these titles are very popular but shamefully I don't think I've read any of them :( I really, really want to read Two Boys Kissing - I love all the David Leviathan I've read so far!

    Check out my Top Ten here!

    I love the family in To All The Boys I've Loved Before and especially how their Asian culture comes out more in P.S I still love you. I really liked I'll Give You The Sun and I liked seeing how Noah grew up and realised who he was. Awesome post!

    I love this list! I think I need to check out some of these other books. I just read Two Boys Kissing so it was on my list as well. That is hands down one of the most beautiful books I have ever read.
