Teenage Millennial Memories Unlocked 🗝️
Allow me to set the scene:
It’s 2 AM on a school night but you only have 100 pages left. You will power through. Forget the math test you have first period. This is your priority. And you must know how the book ends.
I don’t know what sort of millennial catnip these 2000s YA authors put in these books, but let me tell you, my “baby millennial” self was addicted.

Teenage Sleuth Chronicles, Girls edition
Inspired by theaisreading and my love for teenage detectives and crime stories, I need a list which collects them all. Whether it’s missing secrets or suspicious suspects, these young, sometimes unintentional, detectives are always one step ahead and rarely play by the rules. From cozy to high stake. We don't judge. Feel free to recommend books I've missed and you like!

Screaming, Crying, Throwing Up
these are all books that i had a visceral reaction to and would absolutely read again, if i havent already. (except sotr. never again.) ive almost definitely thrown most of these across a room at some point, or gotten up to touch grass and regain some sanity, and at least half ive sobbed through. all of them ive given a 5 star rating to, simply because of how much they made me feel.
basically, just a big, long list of all my favourite books :)
