Since movies like The Fault In Our Stars, YA book to movie adaptations have become increasingly popular. For me, growing up, a lot of my favorite books didn’t have movies. You know, with the exception of Harry Potter. In the past few years, this has drastically changed. Making YA books into movies sometimes even happens before the book is even out.
Personally, I’m always on the look out for new adaptations, as I’m definitely someone who likes to read the book before I watch the movie. If I’ve already read the book, bonus! Then I’m definitely more likely to want to see the movie. I’ve read most of the following books already, and I’m excited to see what their adaptions look like!
2019 YA Book to Movie Adaptations
Based on the book by Nicola Yoon, this movie is slated to come out on May 17th (and you can already watch the trailer!). The Sun Is Also a Star follows the story of Natasha and Daniel and their chance meeting in New York City–is it love at first sight?
While no release date is yet set for this movie, it’s going to most likely be released on Netflix sometime this year. Finch and Violet meet while they’re both standing on the bell tower at school, debating about jumping. Together, they work through their pain, finding friendship in an unlikely place.
The sequel to To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, this movie is also slated for a Netflix release sometime this year. And after the success of the first movie, this one is sure to be a hit as well.
With three different stories told from Maureen Johnson, Lauren Myracle, and John Green, this book would make an excellent holiday movie. Especially for fans of Hallmark. Three different romances intertwine to create one epic story.
This is the only book on the list that I haven’t read, and the movie is already out! As is the book. About two teens with cystic fibrosis who meet in a hospital, it gives me The Fault In Our Stars vibes. But I’d still like to check it out!

I know, me too! I’m nervous that they’ll change too much about it, but I guess we’ll see.
It’s hard to get to the book first, sometimes! The movie is just there–you’ll get to the book sometime. Haha.
