10 must-read YA releases that will reignite your reading life this March

Every Reason We Shouldn’t by Sara Fujimura

If romance is what’s calling you this spring, Sara Fujimura’s latest release has been compared to the works of Jenny Han and Rainbow Rowell — meaning it must be a fun and heartwarming story to read. Every Reason We Shouldn’t chronicles the blossoming romance between two 15-year-old figure skaters, Olivia and Jonah.

Olivia’s dreams of taking her athletic talents to the Olympics have, unfortunately, ended, but she’s attempting to carry on with her life as a normal teenager. Jonah, on the other hand, arrives to train for the Olympics — both annoying and intriguing Olivia. The two seem to click despite Olivia’s busy schedule, but there’s some definite tension about the whole Olympics thing that could make or break their relationship with one another. According to the synopsis for Every Reason We Shouldn’t:

"“Between teasing Jonah, helping her best friend try out for roller derby, figuring out life as a normal teen and keeping the family business running, Olivia’s got her hands full. But will rivalry bring her closer to Jonah, or drive them apart?”"

Those who enjoy the rivals-to-lovers trope won’t want to miss out on Every Reason We Shouldn’t — plus, how often do you see a figureskating story in the YA genre? Fujimura’s latest is definitely worth picking up, and it’s available now as a print novel, ebook, and audiobook.
