YA & Sex
Oh voracious readers.
Can you please mention (and perhaps briefly describe the basic story Without Spoilers) book titles for books that
1) fall clearly into the YA category
2) with preferably some kind of supernatural or fantastic element (major or minor)
3) either set in this world or a secondary world (I don't care)
4) possibly written post-Twilight (2005) but I'll take earlier if it's a good example of a book that is still being read
5) in which the teen protagonist(s) has (have) consensual and non regretted sex that does not involve getting married first (as it does in Twilight).
ETA: It can involve True Love, or not, that doesn't matter. It can suggest that the pair may get married in the future, but they are not waiting for marriage. Equally, if there is no talk of marriage or if marriage is not in the cards now or ever, that's good, too (I'm almost more interested in this, but I'm looking for both.)
5a) heterosexual, homosexual, some other variety of sexuality that I don't know how to properly name, serial partners, whatever, anything (ETA: including "brought to orgasm without consummation" sex). The key is that it is what I would call "healthy" sex: that is, consensual, respectful, and not personally shameful to the individuals involved (whether or not there is a shame element culturally that the individual ignores is a different issue). It doesn't have to be explicit (although it can be) but it has to be clear that it happens. A universe-shattering kiss does not count.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. You can mention your own book because I'm looking for titles, and you would know better than anyone! Just to be clear, I'm looking for published titles, not ones being written or contemplated.
