Recommended by Jennifer @ YA Book Nerd:
- Impossible by Nancy Werlin: A unique tale of past and present struggles of a family curse.
- Bad Queen by Carolyn Meyer: An in depth look at the life of Marie Antoinette.
- Secret History of the Pink Carnation by Lauren Willig: The start of an adult romance series based on the spy network of the French Revolution. Most of the books take place in the era of the French Revolution, however the premise is an American student researching the topic for her dissertation and thus flips back and forth between time periods.

- Gimme a Call by Sarah Mlynowski: Devi finds a phone that allows her to talk with her past self. She’s hoping that by changing her past, she can change her dismal future.
