Are you or your kids looking for swoon-worthy clean YA romcom books for teens without all the adult content? We’re here to help. My name is Sara, and I’m a high school teacher and a mother of teenagers. For a while now, I’ve been on a mission to find clean teen romcom novels for teen girls. I haven’t been happy with many books published by big publishing companies, so I started reading novels from smaller publishers and indie authors. I’ve found some great reads this way, and I’m happy to share those with you below.

If you have additional suggestions for clean YA romcom books, please leave a comment. I’m always on the lookout! If you don’t find what you’re looking for here, check out our master list of clean YA books for teens, tweens, or anyone (all genres).

  1. “Eight Dates and Nights” by Betsy Aldredge is a fun, clean rom-com with Jewish representation that is fun to read during the holidays.

  2. Hi, I’ve read some good clean YA novels and wanted to share them: All the Kasie West Books; You, Me, And Our Heartstrings; Isle Of The Gods(Volume 1 and 2); What A Desi Girl Wants(minimal cursing)

  3. Hey i’ve got a suggestion. I recently read Better Than the Movies and the sequel to that is Nothing Like the Movies, both by Lynn Painter and they are AMAZING!!! (some language, no sex, and like 2 kiss scenes, none of which which are bad)
