Hosted by: The Broke and the Bookish 

If you loved the doomed love and angsty teenagers in The Fault in Our Stars try Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

Cathy and Healthcliff are the original angsty teenagers in a doomed love. The drama in this novel is real people.  

If you loved the unlikable characters and murder in Gone Girl, try The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald 

 

The characters in Gone Girl have nothing on the characters in Gatsby. So unlikable, so selfish, but so real and so interesting. 

If you loved the scary vampires in Vampire Academy, try Dracula by Bram Stoker

 

If you loved the love-hate relationship in Obsidian, try Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen 

 

If you loved the love triangle in The Infernal Devices, try Far from the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy

 

If you loved the kick-ass female character in Throne of Glass, try Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw

 

Eliza Doolittle kicks ass in a much different way than Celaena, but they both kick ass! 

If you loved the mental illness elements in Challenger Deep, try The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath 

 

If you loved the feminism in Only Ever Yours, try The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood 

 

If you loved the travel in Just One Day, try On the Road by Jack Kerouac 

 

If you loved the  family and friend drama in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, try Hamlet by William Shakespeare 

 

Hamlet has more drama than any YA contemporary. Guaranteed. 

If you loved the honest look at sexual assault in Speak. try Tess of the D'urbervilles by Thomas Hardy
