Please let me know if anybody has recommendations for a middle grade/ YA book with a very cute romance. Preferably some type of fantasy or adventure

>1 goldenwillow_9: Once Upon a Marigold and The Frog Princess (and their sequels) have very cute romances! Ella Enchanted also has a sweet romance. Renegades has a cute romantic subplot even though a lot of the rest of the book has a darker tone. Those are just the ones off the top of my head, but I definitely know there are others I'm not thinking of right now so I'll add more later.

Also, in my mind "cute" romances are generally more feel-good without a lot of drama or constant conflict (so generally no love triangles or couples that spend most of their time together arguing), but if you're thinking something different please correct me.

The Grimm Legacy and its sequels might work.

I suspect most of the E. D. Baker books would qualify, but in addition to The Frog Princess, The Wide-Awake Princess is very sweet.
