The Kellywood series brings together Kelly Oram’s contemporary and fairy tale-inspired YA romances under one banner. The collection opens with V Is for Virgin, in which a teenage girl’s public commitment to abstinence turns her into a controversial figure, and A Is for Abstinence follows years later to revisit those characters. Together they form a two-part story about identity, public pressure, and what it means to stand by a personal choice when the world has opinions about it.
Cinder & Ella updates the Cinderella story for a world of online gaming and fan communities, where two strangers build a friendship in a fantasy game before their real lives intersect. Alice in La La Land and Beauty and the Bachelor continue the pattern of taking familiar source material and placing it in modern settings with contemporary stakes. Oram’s retellings don’t lean heavily on magic; they rely on recognizable emotional beats translated into current contexts.
Happily Ever After and the bonus Brian POV scene round out the collection with material that rewards readers who have followed the earlier books. The series as a whole suits readers looking for clean, character-focused YA romance with a pop-culture sensibility.
