"There are dozens of guys in YA novels, but with everything from illnesses to missions to kill their girlfriends testing their BF-potential, who stands out as the ultimate BF? Here, the definitive ranking of the best book boyfriends. 11. Ron, Harry Potter He&amp;#039;s adorable and becomes a great boyfriend ... eventually. But Ron waited a whole SIX YEARS to tell Hermione how he felt, and no girl has time to wait that long.  10. Jace, The Mortal Instruments Though his tattoos and dagger skills make him the ultimate bad boy, Jace&amp;#039;s I&amp;#039;m your brother/okay, I&amp;#039;m not your brother status makes him not the best dating prospect for Clary.  9. Edward, Twilight Sure, he sparkles and has that whole brooding thing going for him, but he can be super moody and it&amp;#039;s almost impossible for Bella to get close to him. When he leaves because it&amp;#039;s the &amp;quot;best thing&amp;quot; for her, it breaks her heart. They get their happy ending, but it&amp;#039;s a rough road for all involved. 8. Ben, The Fifth Wave Ben is low on the list, mostly because he and Cassie aren&amp;#039;t together for most of the book. He&amp;#039;s also pretty clueless when Cassie is crushing on him forever. He does save her brother from an alien death though, so that definitely ups his boyfriend potential.  7. Evan, The Fifth Wave Since Evan&amp;#039;s mission is to kill all humans (you know, #alienproblems), it gets complicated when he falls in love with Cassie. But he goes against his mission and teaches her how to defend herself and nurses her back to health when she gets injured. Still, he should have told her the truth about who he really is from the beginning.  6. Jacob, Twilight Maybe controversial, but everyone #TeamJacob knows that even when Jacob seems like he&amp;#039;s sticking around TOO much, he&amp;#039;s always there for Bella when she needs him most. Also, he rarely wears a shirt.  5. Harry, Harry Potter Even when Harry left Ginny to go find the horcruxes, she knew how he felt about her. Harry always tried to protect her from danger, even when it meant putting his feelings aside. Also, they get an epic happy ending!  4. Four, DivergentWhen Tris is feeling weak and scared, Four knows how to build her up and help make her feel powerful. Though sometimes Tris feels like Four doesn&amp;#039;t trust her instincts, it&amp;#039;s really that he&amp;#039;s always trying to protect her and prevent her from taking dangerous chances because he loves her and can&amp;#039;t imagine his life without her. 3. Adam, If I Stay In a band? Check. Floppy hair and charming grin? Check, check. Adam starts out the book strong, becoming besties with Mia&amp;#039;s family, and stays by her side through the worst thing that could ever happen. And spoiler alert: He&amp;#039;s worth coming back for. Swoon.  2. Peeta, The Hunger Games The boy with the bread really becomes Katniss&amp;#039;s hero, after he is willing to die for her over and over again. He&amp;#039;s loved her since they were kids, he&amp;#039;s artistic (um, he was able to disguise himself in mud!), and he can bake (#score). Spoiler alert: It&amp;#039;s no wonder Katniss finally sees Peeta for the amazing boyfriend he can be. 1. Augustus, The Fault in Our Stars Gus takes the top spot for being pretty close to perfect (though the jury is out on that whole fake cigarette thing). It&amp;#039;s hard to beat a guy who gives his last dying wish to the girl he loves, flying her to Amsterdam to meet her favorite author despite his own physical pain. He&amp;#039;s never ashamed of his feelings for Hazel, just totally unapologetically into her from the day they meet in support group. He&amp;#039;s the best.  Who did we miss?
