Today I thought I would share some of my favourite books that I think are underrated. These are the books that I think don’t get enough love. That I think deserve more love. I’ve tried to include a range of books here from different genres. As well as readership and publication date. 

And they all have one thing in common, they deserve to be read and loved by more people. I’m pretty lucky and I’m a bookseller. I can recommend all these books to customers, I can share my love for them that way. But I also get to share my love for books that I think are underrated here. So here we go, like always these are in no order. 

This is How We Change the Ending by Vikki Wakefield: I cannot stop recommending this book. Not only is it one of my favourite books I’ve read this year, but I also think one of my favourite #LoveOzYA books I’ve read. It’s fantastic and brilliant. It’s a poignant coming of age story that captures the lives of those that struggle day by day. That tries to make the best of what they have. Check out my full review for more

Bringing Down the Duke (A League of Extraordinary Women #1) by Evie Dunmore: I haven’t seen a lot of love for this one, especially in the romance world. But gosh does it deserve it. It was fun and entertaining, while also being heartbreaking and challenging. The romance between Annabell and Sebastian was swoon-worthy and exactly what I want from my historical romances

Great and Precious Things by Rebecca Yarros: I think a lot of you now will know how much I love reading Rebecca Yarros books and her latest one was just as fantastic. It’s heartbreaking, beautiful and just so good. It explores the notion of guilt and grief, as well as a fresh start. The romance in this one is so perfect, it’s a friend to lovers, to absolutely perfect. If you are looking for a romance that is haunting, but also beautiful, then this is for you. Full Review

Dear Martin (Dear Martin #1) by Nic Stone: This one may surprise a lot of you, but I think it’s very highly overrated. When it first came out there was some hype about it, but I feel that it faded just as quick. But this book needs to be read. It needs to be understood. And it needs to be loved. I just finished it early in this week and gosh I wish I had read it even earlier. It’s fantastic. 

And I Darken (The Conqueror’s Saga #1) by Kiersten White: This is one of my favourite series of all time and I feel that it isn’t read enough! It’s a fantastic genre-switch historical fiction about Vlad the Impaler! Come on. Doesn’t what sounds fantastic? It’s such a well thought out series and is so underrated. 

When Michael Met Mina by Randa Abdel-Fattah: If you haven’t read this book, please do. I know I talk about it a lot, but I think it’s something that needs to be read by everyone. It’s such a fantastic novel that looks into race and asylum seekers. 

The Yearbook Committee by Sarah Ayoub: Another #LoveOzYA that is simply brilliant. If you haven’t check out the why I love Aussie YA so much please do. And this one is such a great read. It explores coming of age, and it will tear you apart over and over again. So have that in mind. 

Trust by Kylie Scott: I wish more people would read this one. It’s one of my favourite Kylie Scott and has a plus-size female protagonist. It’s a refreshing YA contemporary that I enjoyed. And it’s underrated. The romance was so great and I just want more YA romances like this. 

Every Breath (Every #1) by Ellie Marney: I could not do this list and not mention something from Ellie Marney. Seriously, if you haven’t picked anything up from her please, please do. They are fantastic. And she has a new book coming out this year! 

The Vanishing Game by Kate Kae Myers: I bring this book up every once and a while, but I have to talk about it again. This is such a good YA mystery/thriller. It’s intense and different and that is why I like it so much. But not many people have read it. It’s a great book for someone that wants to try and the thriller genre but isn’t sure how they feel about it. 

And that is it for this post! What are some of the books that you think are underrated? Do we share any that is the same? What underrated book do you think I should read? Let’s Chat!
