What Your Favourite YA Book Says About You
Your favourite book says a lot about you—whether you’re a hopeless romantic, a mystery solver, or someone who thrives on adventure. Let’s break it down…
1. If You Love The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins…
You’re a natural leader who doesn’t back down from a challenge. People might describe you as intense (in a good way) and incredibly loyal to your friends. You probably have strong opinions about book-to-movie adaptations and will fight anyone who disrespects Peeta Mellark. Also, are you into archery now? Be honest.
2. If You Love Heartstopper by Alice Oseman…
You have a soft spot for wholesome, feel-good stories, and your emotional support water bottle is probably always by your side. You’re the type of person who gives the best hugs, and your dream friendship group is full of people who just get you. Bonus points if you have a low-key obsession with stickers, playlists, and pastel aesthetics.
3. If You Love A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson…
You were definitely the person who watched true crime documentaries at a slightly concerning age. You’ve got a sharp eye for details, and your detective skills are unmatched. If someone in the group chat says, “I have tea,” you will get to the bottom of it in under five minutes. Also, your Spotify is filled with eerie instrumental music for vibes.
4. If You Love They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera…
You have a love-hate relationship with sad books, and yet, you keep coming back for more heartbreak. You probably romanticise life just a little too much and believe in making the most of every moment. You’re also the person who sends the deep 2AM texts like, “Do you think we’re all just living on borrowed time?”
5. If You Love One of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus…
You live for the drama. You have a slight (okay, major) obsession with Pretty Little Liars or Riverdale, and you love untangling messy relationships and secrets. You’re also the person who always correctly guesses the twist at the end of a movie, and your friends hate/love you for it.
6. If You Love The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han…
You’re a sucker for a love triangle, and summer is your ultimate personality trait. You believe in main character moments, even if that means dramatically looking out at the ocean while Taylor Swift plays in the background. You also have strong opinions on whether Belly should have ended up with Conrad or Jeremiah.
7. If You Love We Were Liars by E. Lockhart…
You love books that make you feel like your brain has just been scrambled. You thrive on plot twists, unexpected endings, and the feeling of having to reread a sentence five times to process it. You also probably recommended this book to your friends and just said, “Trust me, don’t read anything about it—just start.”
8. If You Love Twilight by Stephenie Meyer…
You’re either a hopeless romantic or just here for the nostalgia. You appreciate a good angsty love story and secretly love a bit of drama. You also definitely had a vampire or werewolf phase (maybe still do?). Team Edward or Team Jacob? You still have strong feelings.
9. If You Love The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes…
You love puzzles, secret passageways, and stories that make you feel like you’re inside a game of Clue. Your brain is always three steps ahead, and you probably always win at escape rooms. You also wouldn’t say no to a billionaire adopting you and whisking you off to a mansion filled with secrets.
10. If You Love Divergent by Veronica Roth…
You’re an adrenaline junkie who lowkey wishes they could zipline off a skyscraper or jump onto a moving train. You’re independent, brave, and maybe a little bit stubborn (but in a good way). You also refuse to talk about the ending of Allegiant—it still hurts.
11. If You Love It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover…
You’ve been personally victimised by BookTok. You live for emotional rollercoasters and love stories with a bit (or a lot) of drama. You also probably stayed up until 3AM finishing this book and then immediately texted your bestie, “You need to read this.”
12. If You Love The Cruel Prince by Holly Black…
You have a thing for morally grey characters and enemies-to-lovers romance. You’d definitely survive in a fantasy world because you trust no one and can scheme like a pro. You also appreciate a book that delivers both a killer plot and jaw-dropping outfits.
