Again, but Better was definetly a standalone I read at the right time in my life, I start uni in a few weeks and ABB has made me feel ready and so excited. I feel like I really get Shane and how she is feeling, I can not wait for your next book! Thanks for writing such a fantastic novel Christine💛
Also, you were the first booktuber I’ve ever followed and you remain my favourite. I was just starting high school (I’m almost done university now) and my love for books grew because of you so thank you for everything
Jandy Nelson is for sure one of my favorite authors if not my favorite author. The way she writes and the pictures and stories she paints... they’re so amazing and colorful and beautiful even if they can be sad. I’ll Give You the Sun and The Sky Is Everywhere are wonderful novels. I NEED HER TO WRITE ANOTHER BOOK
After all these years, you're still my favorite Booktuber ever, the way you're so passionate about books is so relatable and I love it and I love you! 🥰
my top standalones are(I haven't read very many yet) 1: Unbroken 2: Pride & Prejudice 3: Again But Better 4: Talking As Fast As I Can 5: Nicholas Nickleby
Such a great list! I read I'll Give You the Sun for the first time last year. I knew I wanted to read it one day, so when I found it at a thrift shop for like a dollar I knew I had to get it. I read it last August and I still think about it to this day.
“Again, but Better” was the book for me. I read that book a week before I left to go on a trip to Europe for 2.5 weeks. I visited a lot of places that were mentioned in the book which gave me so much joy to be able to relate. I recently broke up with my long time boyfriend, but I remember even comparing my love life to how well you’d written Pilot and Shane. I’m also about to head to college for my freshman year. Thank you for creating something so relatable and personal.
You have no idea how amazing was the timing of this video. I just finished 2 different trilogies, both very dark and hard to read, and didn't want to start another series. I'm dying to read a stand alone and was just looking for some. Thank you so much. Lots of love from Brazil, byee ♥
@@DashawnLoves The Farseer trilogy by Robin Hobb, and The Broken Empire trilogy by Mark Lawrence ... I read them within a week, I think I shouldn't have done that lol.
@@DashawnLoves Not scary type of dark, but both are very violent and the heroes suffer A LOT to a point that The Farseer actually gets depressing. The Broken Empire is basically about a sociopath looking for vengeance. I loved both series, but as I said I read them to quickly one after the other without a break... I don't recommend that hahaha
I read Anna and the French Kiss and Fangirl because I watched you’re video recs for contemporary noobs , and ever since then I always look for books you recommend ♥️ Fangirl and Just One Day definitely left such an impression in my life they’ll always be in my top 3
Again But Better came out at the perfect time because I just finished my first year of college but I lived at home and commuted and it felt really lonely while all my friends were gone having a great time. So I’m transferring to a new school for this fall and it’s in a state I’ve never been to. I feel like I’m trying to do college again but better. I’m really excited. There’s so much about friendship and travel too that’s inspiring and I love it. Thanks Christine, your book was really happy and encouraging.
When you were talking about how Fangirl was the first book you fully related to my mind jumped straight to ABB and how much Shane reminds me of myself 😂😍. And btw I loveee your book, it was the first YA contemporary I'd ever read and it filled me with so much bubbly joy! I can't wait to read it again 😊😊💕
Oh my goodness, I LOVE I’ll give you the sun!!!! So happy you love it too. There aren’t enough people that talk about it. It’s such a beautiful emotional read!
Girl, I miss your videos. I use to read a bunch of books, but I got accepted into medical school two years ago and haven’t touched a book since. I will read some of these books, I promise!
I’ve owned “They both die at the end” for about a month and a half, but I wasn’t motivated to read it. After watching this video, I got excited to read it. So, I just read the first 179 pages in three hours while listening to the audiobook, and I’ve already cried thrice. I’m scared but definitely excited. Thank you so much for this! It’s also convinced me to read “I’ll give you the sun,” which I’ve owned for multiple months.
OMG I LOVE Landline and Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell!! And I completely agree with your assessments about each! I love them both more every time I read them. I try to read them each at least once a year or every other year. I just love Rainbow Rowell's writing in general though too. Also, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Just One Day too! It's amazing. You have fantastic book taste :). I loved your book too! Easily one of my top 10 favorites in YA!
I'm in an awful reading slump and I just remembered how unique the experience was when I read Verity and watched your review. Time to pick up a book now.
Omg I’ll give you the sun! I read that a while ago and nobody else liked it/ doesn’t read too much! I completely agree with you it’s such a good book and it doesn’t get as much credit as it shouldddd 😍
I’m so with you on the Lola and the Boy Next Door above Anna and the French kiss. Mainly bc a lot of Anna’s choices stressed me out whereas Lola’s made perfect sense to me, and her fashion hobby and wonderful family made me so happy
I got none right! Yay! But one that I read that turned into my favorite book of ALL TIME, is Call me by your Name. I know there is a second one coming, but the original is so beautiful and an awe inspiring work of words and knowledge and love it blows me away every time I read it. P.s. I’ve read it six times now, not including the audiobook. That’s even worse at a whopping 13 listens. 💙
That's my favorite stand alone too! When I finished Just One Day, I just like closed the book and cried, because I knew no other reading experience could top that one.
If you’re in the UK, read ‘I’ll give you the sun’ in Cornwall, it works perfectly, I love’d it, I tend to tie certain places to certain books, like Dante and Aristotle ... in NYC
I just stayed up until 2 a.m. to finish Again, but Better (I started it today) and I have a lot of emotions, but I loved it!! Thank you so much for writing this book, I really needed it. It reminded me of how much I love and want to travel. Also, 🥧🥧😍
Uau, I was betting your first favorite stand alone would be 'turtles all the way down' or 'Evelyn hugo' for some reason haha but it is actually my favorite book too! 'just one day' is so amazing, it makes me think a lot about who Allison was before and who she became and how I relate to that. Great choice!
My favorite standalones are: Fangirl Just One Day Anna and the French Kiss The Book Thief Heartless Eleanor and Park If I Stay The Fault in Our Stars And btw after watching your videos for like 7 years now, I guessed almost every book on your list 🤗🤪❤️
I only got two right because I knew you were gonna put Colleen Hoover on the list. The way you talk about those books makes me really want to read it but that goes for every single one of these books because you are so passionate about it! I just love your energy! Also I agree with your number 5 pick. They Both Die At The End is one of my all time favorite standalones. What If It’s Us didn’t do it for me though unfortunately :( But I would really want to give most of these a try. Although I’m surprised you did not pick The Book Thief for this list
My favourite standalone is "Midnight at the Electric", which is a book I've never seen on Booktube (well I don't think I have). It really moved me and it's full of mystery and love and hope I loved it so much. I wish more people had read it.
Just One Day’s ending gave me the biggest book hangover I was like: no wait, no, MORE!! I read it because you recommended it I think in your contemporary 101 video thank u ♥️
I'm reading all the books you mentioned that I haven't read yet as soon as possible! VERITY and All Your Perfects is the real deal. The emotional blows were too real for AYP, it was hurting me since it was a struggle I'm closely familiar with. Verity though, was a mind blowing read. A first for COHO and she did not dissapoint. :)
I'll give you the sun is a masterpiece. I first read it when I was younger so couldnt really appreciate everything but the second time I read it I fell in love with it!! Its one of my favorites.
I guessed Anna and the French Kiss, What if it’s us, I’ll give you the sun, A very large expanse of sea, They both die at the end, And Fangirl correctly. 6/10. I feel so accomplished
I got 3 books right yaaay! :) Some of my favorite standalones are Amy & Roger's Epic Detour, Since you've been gone, Anna and the French Kiss and oh - AGAIN BUT BETTER! ♥
WOOO! I NEED TO REREAD SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE BECAUSE IT'S NOT ON THIS LIST CUZ I CAN'T REMEMBER IT ENOUGH BUT I KNOW I REALLY LIKED IT. and also ahh! yay
My number one favorites standalone is Again, But Better!! Not just saying that because it's you lol. It made my top favorites books of the year list. It's even one of my all time favorite books along with ACOMAF, And Muse of Nightmares. It's such a good book and I so related to Shane, but also saw you in her. And I loved Shane and Pilot so much! I don't think I have a top 10 favorite standalones because I honestly don't read that many stand alone, but let me try haha. 1.Again, But Better (p.s. my phone makes the word but change to a capital b automatically now because I've talked about that title so much haha) 2. The Song of Achilles 3.Fangirl. 4.Pride and Prejudice 5.Thirteen Days to Midnight 6.Dreamology 7.Literally 8.Turtles All the Way Down 9. My Oxford Year 10. It Ends With Us
A stand alone i would highly reccomend is Echo After Echo by Amy Rose Cappetta. Its a beautiful story - part murder mystery, part theater story, part girl/girl romance. I read it earlier this year, and I didn't realize until I was done how much I needed the story. Her writing style is amazing, and the story just kind of... changed my perspective. In a lot of ways. Christine, if you ever see this comment, I really, really think you should read it. And if you do, post on instagram or yt about it so that I know if it meant as much to you as it did to me.
My favorite standalone of all time is Life of Pi, because I was overcome by this refreshing feeling of peace when I was reading it and when I finished it. Oh my god, I LOVE What If It’s Us so much! It HAS to become a movie, it JUST HAS TO! I’ll be SO MAD if it doesn’t.
In no particular order, my favorite stand-alones are Dark Places by Gillian Flynn, The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling, 11/22/63 by Stephen King, A List of Cages by Robin Roe, We Are The Ants by Shaun David Hutchinson, They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera, and in honorable mention I'd say More Happy Than Not :)
I totally guessed I'll Give You the Sun, Fangirl, Just One Day, The Martian, and They Both Die at the End. I was thinking Lola and the Boy Next Door might be on here, I didn't write it down but I still gave it to myself haha. I expected The Host and The Astonishing Color of After to be on here, but I was surprised that The Host wasn't. Love you Christine!
It's hard to pick and favorite standalone but i'd say my favorite is Letting Go of Gravity by Meg Leder. The lead character struggles with anxiety and it's so raw and real how accurate it is and it's so special to me
So I went to walmart Looking for a good book and I looked what I saw was........... Again, But Better I fell in love with the story concept and how this girl just puts herself out there and is Like I'm going to live my Life and do me for a little. The Book is so Good and The Harry Potter References really just amazing. I hope you write more books because I'll be getting them!
I loved Landline, it was one of the first "adult" fiction books I read, I wish she had more books out, because I have loved everything she has put out.
I actually had “I’ll give you the sun” on my bookshelf for years and I finally read it back in January and I was so glad I read it and kinda mad that it took me this long to get to it.
ok lmao what happened to the art of seduction video series on your other channel from like 4 years ago???? lmao i’m still waiting for the next episode HAHAHAH
“Lock in your bets”
Me: instantly forgets every book that ever existed
LOL
Same lol
But i did get 3 right at the end
Lol me too
The last time I was this early Cassandra Clare was releasing City of Bones
😂
You really remind me of Phoebe from 'Friends' 😂
THANKS XD
polandbananasBOOKS wow I can’t unsee it now.
Christine: yeah u can try to get but idk it’s not that predictable
Me, watching for eight years: ah, she underestimates my power
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell is my favorite book of all time
I love I’ll Give You The Sun! It broke my heart and put it back together! 😊
Aristotle and Dante Discover The Secrets of The Universe is hands down my favorite standalone of all time :)
aHHH I have to read that one I keep forgetting! I have to fish it off the shelf and place it front and center cuz I really want to read it
I was literally searching for ‘best standalone books’ videos and you posted lol.
YAY IT'S FATE
Same, but I'm a bit late
Again, but Better was definetly a standalone I read at the right time in my life, I start uni in a few weeks and ABB has made me feel ready and so excited. I feel like I really get Shane and how she is feeling, I can not wait for your next book! Thanks for writing such a fantastic novel Christine💛
me too bc I just finished my freshman year
It was the last book I read before I graduated high school. :)
Also, you were the first booktuber I’ve ever followed and you remain my favourite. I was just starting high school (I’m almost done university now) and my love for books grew because of you so thank you for everything

5: Nicholas Nickleby
Such a great list! I read I'll Give You the Sun for the first time last year. I knew I wanted to read it one day, so when I found it at a thrift shop for like a dollar I knew I had to get it. I read it last August and I still think about it to this day.
your energy never fails to make me smile
Omg I love her vids and I have to get Again, but better. I usually read big fantasy series, but that book has been calling my name. ❤❤❤
karla mijić Same, usually a fantasy girl but I ADOREDDD Again but Better
“Again, but Better” was the book for me. I read that book a week before I left to go on a trip to Europe for 2.5 weeks. I visited a lot of places that were mentioned in the book which gave me so much joy to be able to relate.

You have no idea how amazing was the timing of this video. I just finished 2 different trilogies, both very dark and hard to read, and didn't want to start another series. I'm dying to read a stand alone and was just looking for some. Thank you so much.
Lots of love from Brazil, byee ♥
yay!!!
What was it? I need more dark books to read
@@DashawnLoves The Farseer trilogy by Robin Hobb, and The Broken Empire trilogy by Mark Lawrence ... I read them within a week, I think I shouldn't have done that lol.
@@yaralppes how dark is it
@@DashawnLoves Not scary type of dark, but both are very violent and the heroes suffer A LOT to a point that The Farseer actually gets depressing. The Broken Empire is basically about a sociopath looking for vengeance. I loved both series, but as I said I read them to quickly one after the other without a break... I don't recommend that hahaha
My favorite standalone right now is “The Book Thief” by- Markus Zusak
I'm reading that one right now!
My favorite book of all time
I read Anna and the French Kiss and Fangirl because I watched you’re video recs for contemporary noobs , and ever since then I always look for books you recommend ♥️ Fangirl and Just One Day definitely left such an impression in my life they’ll always be in my top 3
Red is definitely her color!
She looks so stunning! 🤠✌🏻
Again But Better came out at the perfect time because I just finished my first year of college but I lived at home and commuted and it felt really lonely while all my friends were gone having a great time. So I’m transferring to a new school for this fall and it’s in a state I’ve never been to. I feel like I’m trying to do college again but better. I’m really excited.

OMOG KENDRA I ANSWERED BEFORE I SAW THIS WAS YOU HI!!!
HI! OMG ILY! 😍😍💕
I love love love I’ll Give You the Sun! It made me happy and angry and sad just all of the emotions!
Oh my goodness, I LOVE I’ll give you the sun!!!! So happy you love it too. There aren’t enough people that talk about it. It’s such a beautiful emotional read!
I was expecting Simon Vs the Homosapien Agenda the whole video before realizing that it’s no longer a stand alone, after Leah and the Offbeat
I predicted that all of the authors, though not which of their books, would be on the list except one! 💛 Love the video!
Girl, I miss your videos. I use to read a bunch of books, but I got accepted into medical school two years ago and haven’t touched a book since. I will read some of these books, I promise!
I’ve owned “They both die at the end” for about a month and a half, but I wasn’t motivated to read it. After watching this video, I got excited to read it.

I’m scared but definitely excited. Thank you so much for this! It’s also convinced me to read “I’ll give you the sun,” which I’ve owned for multiple months.
They both die at the end is my top standalone book. I’m using it for my A Level coursework (comparing it to hamlet)
OMG I LOVE Landline and Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell!! And I completely agree with your assessments about each! I love them both more every time I read them. I try to read them each at least once a year or every other year. I just love Rainbow Rowell's writing in general though too. Also, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Just One Day too! It's amazing. You have fantastic book taste :). I loved your book too! Easily one of my top 10 favorites in YA!
I am so happy fangirl was in your top, I feel like people hate on it often and it makes me so happy knowing YOU one of my favorite people like it
I'm in an awful reading slump and I just remembered how unique the experience was when I read Verity and watched your review. Time to pick up a book now.
Omg I’ll give you the sun! I read that a while ago and nobody else liked it/ doesn’t read too much! I completely agree with you it’s such a good book and it doesn’t get as much credit as it shouldddd 😍

That's my favorite stand alone too! When I finished Just One Day, I just like closed the book and cried, because I knew no other reading experience could top that one.
Oh my gosh Christine you are amazing and I love your book!!! 💜
I definitely can see your favorites based on your own book, like Again but Better did have a mix of Anna, Just One Day, and even Landline a bit
If you’re in the UK, read ‘I’ll give you the sun’ in Cornwall, it works perfectly, I love’d it, I tend to tie certain places to certain books, like Dante and Aristotle ... in NYC
I just stayed up until 2 a.m. to finish Again, but Better (I started it today) and I have a lot of emotions, but I loved it!! Thank you so much for writing this book, I really needed it. It reminded me of how much I love and want to travel. Also, 🥧🥧😍
polandbananasBOOKS thank you for being amazing!!
To All the Boys I've Loved Before was my Fangirl. First time I read it I was like "I am Lara Jean, Lara Jean is me!"
I also read "Anna and the French Kiss" immediately after John Green recommended it!!
Uau, I was betting your first favorite stand alone would be 'turtles all the way down' or 'Evelyn hugo' for some reason haha but it is actually my favorite book too! 'just one day' is so amazing, it makes me think a lot about who Allison was before and who she became and how I relate to that. Great choice!
Living for the edits in this video
AH! I KNEW Just One Day would be your #1 it's mine too, because of you!! Love it.
Some of my fav stand alone include:
The sun is also a star by Nicole yoon
The kiss of death by malcolm rose
And the house on cold hill by Peter james
SO MANY of my favourite are on here!! But *sniffs* what about Isla????! 🥺 also totally agree that Landline is HIGHLY underrated material
I have to reread Isla, I wasn't in the best place when I read it so it didn't leave any feelings on me
My favorite standalones are:
Fangirl
Just One Day
Anna and the French Kiss
The Book Thief
Heartless
Eleanor and Park
If I Stay
The Fault in Our Stars
And btw after watching your videos for like 7 years now, I guessed almost every book on your list 🤗🤪❤️
Daria Elizabeth the book thief and if I SFSU was great!!
NOTIF SQUAD!
Yey! Can’t wait to watch it.
YAY!
I only got two right because I knew you were gonna put Colleen Hoover on the list. The way you talk about those books makes me really want to read it but that goes for every single one of these books because you are so passionate about it! I just love your energy!
Also I agree with your number 5 pick. They Both Die At The End is one of my all time favorite standalones. What If It’s Us didn’t do it for me though unfortunately :( But I would really want to give most of these a try. Although I’m surprised you did not pick The Book Thief for this list
I had to read fangirl for a class in college and I fell in love with it. I finished it in one sitting.
you look so close to tears about your books and thats honestly such a mood
My favourite standalone is "Midnight at the Electric", which is a book I've never seen on Booktube (well I don't think I have). It really moved me and it's full of mystery and love and hope I loved it so much. I wish more people had read it.
Just One Day’s ending gave me the biggest book hangover I was like: no wait, no, MORE!! I read it because you recommended it I think in your contemporary 101 video thank u ♥️
You really need to read all the bright places by jennifer niven, the feels are even more powerful the second time round too
I'm reading all the books you mentioned that I haven't read yet as soon as possible!
VERITY and All Your Perfects is the real deal. The emotional blows were too real for AYP, it was hurting me since it was a struggle I'm closely familiar with. Verity though, was a mind blowing read. A first for COHO and she did not dissapoint. :)
Came here to not have to study, thank you so much! Also I loved your book, greetings from Germany:)
thank you =D
omg thank you :D
I'll give you the sun is a masterpiece. I first read it when I was younger so couldnt really appreciate everything but the second time I read it I fell in love with it!! Its one of my favorites.
I guessed
Anna and the French Kiss,
What if it’s us,
I’ll give you the sun,
A very large expanse of sea,
They both die at the end,
And Fangirl correctly.
6/10. I feel so accomplished

WOOO! I NEED TO REREAD SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE BECAUSE IT'S NOT ON THIS LIST CUZ I CAN'T REMEMBER IT ENOUGH BUT I KNOW I REALLY LIKED IT. and also ahh! yay
Lola and the Boy next door is my favourite too! It's just so cute and I could keep reading it forever.
I always liked Lola better than Anna and my friends NEVERRRR understood why!
My number one favorites standalone is Again, But Better!! Not just saying that because it's you lol. It made my top favorites books of the year list. It's even one of my all time favorite books along with ACOMAF, And Muse of Nightmares. It's such a good book and I so related to Shane, but also saw you in her. And I loved Shane and Pilot so much! I don't think I have a top 10 favorite standalones because I honestly don't read that many stand alone, but let me try haha.

4.Pride and Prejudice
5.Thirteen Days to Midnight
6.Dreamology
7.Literally
8.Turtles All the Way Down

I loved this video
A stand alone i would highly reccomend is Echo After Echo by Amy Rose Cappetta. Its a beautiful story - part murder mystery, part theater story, part girl/girl romance. I read it earlier this year, and I didn't realize until I was done how much I needed the story. Her writing style is amazing, and the story just kind of... changed my perspective. In a lot of ways. Christine, if you ever see this comment, I really, really think you should read it. And if you do, post on instagram or yt about it so that I know if it meant as much to you as it did to me.
I'll give you the sun is one of those books that you just can't forget. definitely in my top 10 too
im waiting for we were liars ahhh haha anw i love anna and lola too 😍😍😍 (adding a very large expanse of sea on my tbr list ty!)
My favorite standalone of all time is Life of Pi, because I was overcome by this refreshing feeling of peace when I was reading it and when I finished it.
Oh my god, I LOVE What If It’s Us so much! It HAS to become a movie, it JUST HAS TO! I’ll be SO MAD if it doesn’t.
I loved Fan Girl and Elenor and Park.Still haven’t read Carry On but I will probably love that too
I LOVED the unhoneymooners too!
I have yet to read fangirl yet but I own it now so that’s a start right!? 🤣
Omg I'm so happy "I'll Give You the Sun" made the list because it's my favorite book of all time!
I read What If It’s Us early July this year and finished it within 26 hours.
It began reading hangover/slump that I’m still not over.
No regrets.
A new Christine video yayy, IM HERE FOR ITTT. You always brighten up my Tuesdays ^_^
In no particular order, my favorite stand-alones are Dark Places by Gillian Flynn, The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling, 11/22/63 by Stephen King, A List of Cages by Robin Roe, We Are The Ants by Shaun David Hutchinson, They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera, and in honorable mention I'd say More Happy Than Not :)
I totally recommend holding up the universe and all the bright places. My favourite standalones
I totally guessed I'll Give You the Sun, Fangirl, Just One Day, The Martian, and They Both Die at the End. I was thinking Lola and the Boy Next Door might be on here, I didn't write it down but I still gave it to myself haha. I expected The Host and The Astonishing Color of After to be on here, but I was surprised that The Host wasn't. Love you Christine!
Fangirl is just such a nice feel good book and although it's been years since I've first read it, I feel giddy at the thought of Levi and Cath
Have you ever read Kiss an angel by Susan Elizabeth Phillips? It’s one of my favorite books ever, so romantic and moving, an oldie but soooo goodie
So many more books I need to pick up ASAP! YAY
Heeey! Brazilian fan here! Luv u s2
It's hard to pick and favorite standalone but i'd say my favorite is Letting Go of Gravity by Meg Leder. The lead character struggles with anxiety and it's so raw and real how accurate it is and it's so special to me
So I went to walmart Looking for a good book and I looked what I saw was........... Again, But Better I fell in love with the story concept and how this girl just puts herself out there and is Like I'm going to live my Life and do me for a little. The Book is so Good and The Harry Potter References really just amazing. I hope you write more books because I'll be getting them!
I loved Landline, it was one of the first "adult" fiction books I read, I wish she had more books out, because I have loved everything she has put out.
Book series I recommend
The White Rabbit Chronicles by Gena Showalter
Pegasus by Kate O’hearn
Endling by
All your perfects ALSO MADE SUCH AN IMPACT ON ME. Damn u CoHo, always on the feels
so many feels
again but better is one of MY favorite stand alone books of all time😊❤️
I actually had “I’ll give you the sun” on my bookshelf for years and I finally read it back in January and I was so glad I read it and kinda mad that it took me this long to get to it.
Omg I was literally asking for this 😍
WOOO =D
I thought The Host by Stephenie Meyer would be in the list! I still love it today and find it very thought provoking
ok lmao what happened to the art of seduction video series on your other channel from like 4 years ago???? lmao i’m still waiting for the next episode HAHAHAH
Same!!! I loved those videos so much
Still something I think about haha
Great to see contemporary titles on this list 👌
I actually bought the un honeymooners because you really liked it and ITS ONE OF MY FAVORITES
