While we might not know where New Adult books belong on the shelves, we can definitely be sure that readers want them there. The New Adult genre has steadily grown more and more popular as people become aware of these stories about men and women in their early twenties, in college, or otherwise just starting out in their adult lives. Whether you’re a dedicated fan or a new reader to the genre, we have a few forthcoming New Adult books from three of the most popular authors that are definitely worth checking out.
All Broke Down by Cora Carmack: Texas, football, and romance combine in a Friday Night Lights-esque series centered around the fictional Rusk University football team. This second book in the series (after All Lined Up) follows a chronic champion for lost causes and a football player who realizes he might need some fixing after all.
Wild by Sophie Jordan: This third and final book in the Ivy Chronicles finds the last suitemate, Georgia—previously dubbed “boring” and “predictable” by her ex-boyfriend—deciding to change her image by attending the campus kink club, but finding more there than she bargained for.
Better When He’s Bold by Jay Crownover: The second Welcome to the Point novel, featuring bad boys from the wrong side of the tracks and the women who love them. This sequel to Better When He’s Bad follows the new underground leader of the Point and the girl who turns to him for protection when she realizes her life is in danger.
All of these novels can be enjoyed without having read the previous books in their respective series, but dedicated readers will enjoy seeing a little of the happily-ever-after of the previous books’ couples. Regardless, they’re all available for egalley download from Edelweiss, so get reading!
