CONTEST CLOSED
So, I'm sitten here trying to think of some new books along the lines of friendships for a reading challenge I'm going to be participating in soon. The main characters have to be friends who fall in love with each other (they can't be already dating from the get go, almost like at first they deny their feelings) So figured I'd throw a contest in hopes of getting some opinions.
The winner will win one of these awesome books! You choose a number at the end and you get that book with the post it note (like my other one)

OPEN to everyone!
Can you think of any books that involve guys and girls who are friends falling in love with each other? (YA preferred, books already published BUT I'll take upcoming books as well as long as not EVERYONE gives me upcoming)
Yep I've read the Harry Potter's so that won't work for the reading challenge. LOL. Has to be something have not read. LOL

Thanks! You have the BEST giveaways! ;)
+1 Follower, check
+5 I have couple:
1, Audrey, Wait! They weren't exactly close friends but its a great book none the less.
2,Megan Meade's Guide to the McGowan Boy, its a cute read
3, Let It Snow, by three different authors, and one couple was dating before the story but its the last story in the book and the first story fits your requirements.
4,Aimee, isn't focused on romance at all but the romance is there, it's jsut a good read
5,Aurelia because who doesn't love romance with princes, princesses and murder?
6, The Safe-Keeper's Secret, great ending twist
7, The Dream Maker's Magic, by the same author as the Safe-Keepers Secret, great story.
That's a lot, but you asked and I had a lot to contribute, I just went through my library, so these are some of the best ones. You should read them, unless you've already read them then that's just that.
oh wow, *drools*
+5 immediately think of the HP series! (not YA but Nicholas Spark's new one The Last Song)

Raven by Allison van Deipen
Sorry, those are the only two I can think of now (besides Harry Potter), and I know some where they're friends when they're little and fall in love after the grow up and see each other again, but I don't think that's what you're looking for. Anyways, amazing contest yet again! Thank you. :)

I'm also thinking that the Gossip Girl series uses that theme, but I read it so long ago I'm not 100%

Awesome contest. I can't seem to think of any books, so how about a song?
There's "No Way" by the Unlovables. . .at least I think it's No Way that talks about that.
Hm, I guess Airhead/Being Nikki would fall into that category.
yay +5
Well, to tell you the truth I just got into reading YA, and your part of the reason! I found your blog..and have been swapping many YA titles with you.
The only one that comes directly to mind is Once a Witch by Carolyn MacCullough, but you've already read that one! (you also sent it to me, lol).
I can't even sort through the books I have to see right now because I'm the only one awake, lol. I'll sort through later and get back to you!

Can you think of any books that involve guys and girls who are friends falling in love with each other?
Doing It by Melvin Burgess off the top of my head. Thinking harder... Glass Houses by Rachel Caine, and maybe the second or third in the Morganville Vampire series too, as things progress. Giving Up the V by Serena Robar. Yup, that's all I can come up with. Good luck with the reading challenge!

They aren't YA novels but the two that came to my mind were Love, Rosie by Cecelia Ahern and Just Friends by Robyn Sisman. These novels are definitely two of my favorites.

4. How to Be Popular by Meg Cabot
5. Sweethearts by Sara Zarr
