The Best YA Books of April 2025

Spring break planning has three important pillars: picking your destination, gathering the best friend group, and being sure to bring along enough great reading to last you all trip long. Don’t worry — we’ve got you covered on that last bit. With a return to one of our favorite romantasy series to the start of another one we can’t wait to obsess over, the next installment in a summertime romance series we’ve been dying to catch up with and chilling dark academia vibes that’ll transport us to another world no matter where we are, April is shaping up to be a stellar month of reading. These are the best YA books of April.
