Giving up on Contemporary YA

I’m at the stage in my reading/adult life where contemporary YA books don’t really interest me anymore. There are still a few YA fantasy/horror books that I still want to pick up but that’s about it. I have quite a few hard hitting contemporary/romance YA books on my TBR that I know I’m never going to make the time to read even though at one stage I very much wanted to get to them.

All the YA books on my TBR I am giving up on:
