If you're a regular to my blog, then you know I'm a mostly contemporary YA reader. Their stories always grab my interest before others. However, if that story is being told from a male POV, I am even more intrigued! Below is a list of my favorite male POVs in YA contemporary. Have you read any of these? Or have others to recommend? Let me know in the comments!
As always, be sure to check out The Broke and the Bookish for more details on this awesome weekly feature.

I read Something Like Normal earlier this year, and it was so, so, so good! Have you read Winger by Andrew Smith? I think that book would be a wonderful addition to your list.
ReplyDeleteI love quite a few of the novels on your list - Something Like Normal, Where She Went and Just One Year in particular. And of the ones you've mentioned that I haven't read, I'm most looking forward to indulging in The Piper's Son, which I've heard so many good things about!
ReplyDeleteFREEFALL is my favorite male POV. I love that you shared it here
ReplyDeleteI definitely want to read books with a male pov, now that I think about it- the majority of books I read are from a female pov >.< So thank you for sharing these :-) Here's my TTT if you would like to check it out :-) http://emmasbookery.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/top-ten-books-for-readers-who-love.html
ReplyDeleteI *almost* did this topic as well, and it's funny because I thought of you when it popped into my head, no lie! So happy to see The Piper's Son and Where She Went on your list - they definitely would have made mine! This also reminds me that I need to read Just One Day/Year SOON!
ReplyDeleteGood list; haven't read any of these yet.
ReplyDeleteHave you read 'Out of the Pocket' by B.E. Stanfel?' Good read for reluctant readers.
ReplyDeletePerks! Yes! That is my favorite male POV book. I didn't know Just One Year was a male POV. I have both books, but I haven't read them yet.
