Peter and the star catchers is around 500 pages ya and about Peter Pan and Neverland and the author is arguably one of the better fantasy ya writers. He has a whole series set in Disney land or Disney world called the kingdom keepers
maybe try some other genres of romance it sounds like your reading basic boring throw away romances, something more in depth might be fantasy romance, supernatural romance, historical romance. There is a reason i dont read books like your describing and its because they are all the same.
i love the book the audiobook was amazing well worth the 24 hours and i would totally read it again
read something else for a bit and go back to it, i often read five books at once.
Depends on what website you are using I’m using story graph which allows users to not only rate the book but to add tags that can help people avoid triggers or chose better books for themselves based off topics. It also recommends by mood and I can set it to include or exclude certain genres. I also follow my favorite YouTuber mikes book reviews I trust his judgement and Im working through classic novels. I haven’t read anything written after I want to say 2008 in about three years.
