Why It’s Okay to Have an Adult Crush on a YA Character (Link)
As someone who frequently crushes on YA characters, I love this blog post from Book Riot.
"When you have a crush on a YA teen it’s the TEENAGER INSIDE OF YOU having a crush on that character. It’s a way to relive being in love for the first (or second or third) time. You can experience the electric thrill of being a teen in love but through the lens of your job-holding, bill-paying adult brain. And it’s all in your brain when you’re reading. You imagine yourself as a teenager with your imagined teen character crush."
Who is your current YA crush? Mine is Kai from For Darkness Shows the Stars.

Willem from JUST ONE DAY/JUST ONE YEAR (he's 21 though. Score.)
Also, Neville Longbottom.
Also love Han from the Seven Realms series.
Wait, was I supposed to not be ok with all my YA crushes? Whoops.
Four. Oh Four, I love you so.
I've loved a couple Dessen boys but I'm blanking on the names since it's been a while.
And, of course, Marcus Flutie.
I'm also a fan of Q from Paper Towns.
The whole, "it's teenage you thinking these things" totally hits the nail on the head.
Izzy and Baby A ~ Adorable Punks
(Did I just agree with Passanie?!?)
my read shelf:
Definitely Four for me. I just finished my Divergent reread and am in love all over again!
I think I will be Team Edward forever though!
Cinnabun and Junebug say, "Go Wildcats!"
But also Four. Always Four.
Sugar & Spice
Joe Fontaine (The Sky is Everywhere)
Amon (The Seven Realms series)
Agustus Waters (The Fault in our Stars)
Nikolai & The Darkling (The Greisha series)
The Weasley Twins
Minor crush on Four from Divergent and Marcus Flutie from Jessica Darling
My Badges:
Agreed on Nikolai as well.
Oh! AND Kent, from Before I Fall.
Izzy and Baby A ~ Adorable Punks
Oh and Holder from Hopeless.
