Recs if you like Neverworld Wake...

I'm including books where a character's presence is minimal and every character, conflict, and theme leads back to them. Their absence feels loud. Their past decisions shape the present.

Open for recommendations that meet these parameters 💓 I haven't read all the books in this list but feel fairly confident about their inclusion here, if you believe one of these doesn't fit feel free to discuss in the comments

Maybe the one piece was the friendships we made along the way.

These are all the suggestions the community graciously provided after I asked for friendship book recs (plus some of my own).

This list include all types of friendship dynamics from wholesome and life-affirming to toxic and obsessive. Enjoy!

Books that involve time loops of some kind. These will not include 'normal' time travel, and mostly focus on books that repeat the same stretch of time

Books that are banned, censored, removed from bookshops, marketplaces, and libraries, and writers that are considered as a threat to the authorities. Some called it a "Fahrenheit list".

Abandoned places? ✔️ A group of misfits? ✔️ Old boarding schools? ✔️ Uncovered secrets? ✔️ Overall creepy vibes? ✔️

Posh people are feral

With my closest group of friends, we're trying to read each other's favourite books! This list will get updated. (the demigod files is not part of our list, we're four but we need five books to start a list)

Books from Belletrist Book Club and some extra reccos from their IG account (I.e stacked or YA spotlight)
