I know this question might have been asked, but is it okay to read clean YA romance novels? I am 15, and I feel like I'm just overthinking the whole stuff, I love reading cute YA books and I make sure the are clean, except they have some kisses which don't even last for a minute and I don't even think about those things, yet I'm unsure if I'm sinning because it does not include God in it (not that they disrespect Him or anything) and I have read Christian versions, but I still enjoy reading out of it. PLEASE I NEED ANSWERS!

I read a lot of of romance novels, and it is I believe perfectly fine to read romance novels. stay away from cassandra clare though ;) her books I don't read anymore because most of them have sexual content. I recommend Yumi and the Nightmare Painter. it is definitely romance, but it does not have any content.
one of my favorite novels is either wish or... uh.... I think it is wish but I could be wrong. by Gail Carson Levine. finding quality romance novels these days is hard so if you find anything good please let me know.
nah almost all books are not christian. in fact, many of the best are mormon.
I have read and do read a lot as well as several others on her including @seoulsearch.

I don't see anything inherently sinful in what you've described. The only problem I can think of is if your relationship with the Lord is suffering because you spend too much time with other things. He wants us to put Him first; just do that and you can't go wrong.
 
Thanks a lot.
