Let’s be honest, reading isn’t everyone’s favorite thing. Some teens would rather binge-watch a show, scroll endlessly on their phones, or play games for hours. Books? Too long. Too boring. Too slow. That’s the general perception.
But here’s the twist: Most teens who “hate reading” don’t actually hate stories. They just haven’t met the right book yet.
The truth is, not all books are slow, confusing, or overloaded with dull details. Some pull you in from the very first page. They move fast, feel relatable, and leave you wanting more. These are the kinds of books that even reluctant readers can’t put down.
If you—or someone you know—thinks they don’t like reading, try one of these 8 titles. They just might change your mind.
