But rest assured, although it is often difficult to locate them, YA books with little or no romance do exist. The ones I have compiled here include many that quickly became personal favorites of mine, which I have to believe the lack of romance has something to do with, as most YA romances have a whole lotta heterosexual nonsense. Nonetheless, while the books on this list may or may not contain brief instances of romance, it’s not the driving force of the novel and takes a backseat to the narrative’s more important goings-on. And away we go! Which are your favorite YA books without any romance?
