Sometimes you wanna read just a cute high school romance! These books are completely spice free, not even closed door. (Also if I find them mediocre they aren’t on the list 🤭). ✨most do have language and sometimes innuendo for clarification. ✨also some of these are romance side plots. They are still super duper adorable though.
