Sadie is on my holds at the library, but I have to keep suspending the hold date because I’m reading too slowly. ??♀️

Rainbow Rowell, John Green, The Hate U Give, The Hazel Wood, You Look Different in Real Life, One ofUs Is Lying, The 100, We Were Liars
Belzhar, the hate u give, the wicked deep, turtles all the way down
Loved Turtles All the Way Down
@Donna same. Belzhar was seriously the best book I have ever read, YA or adult…
Simon vs. the Homo Sapien Agenda was a terrific read (even better than the movie made from it, Love Simon).
The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare
Slammed series, by Colleen Hoover
Code Name Verity. It’s a heavy one, though…
Good suggestions! The only ones I’ve reviewed so far that I remember is The Hate You Give and Turtles All the Way Down. I have a few of these but most I didn’t have on my list. Keep them coming.
Anything Colleen Hoover, abbi glines, Jamie mcguire.
Oh and the flat out series by Jessica park
Eleanor and Park
Out of my mind, by Sharon Draper ❤️❤️
Yes! This one! I think about this one all the time.
@Jessica my granddaughter suggested it to me. I loved it & now recommend it too!!
Number the stars
Challenger deep
Diary of Ann Frank
The Hate U Give
The Hate U Give, Counting by 7’s, Ready Player One
All the Bright Places; The Memory of Things; The Hate U Give; Mosquitoland; The Sun is Also a Star; All We Have Left; Everything, Everything; As Brave As You These are just a few I read this year; all good and insightful to our lives.
All The bright Places wrecked me.
I bought 2 copies to give to people and I will never forget it. None of the rest I posted are as tough as that one, but it is such an insightful look at teens. I spent 6 years at our local high school and this book should be required freshmen year.
As You Wish is a fun one and A list of Cages.

We Were Liars
Chilling but very good.

ELIZA AND HER MONSTERS by Francesca Zapia https://www.amazon.com/Eliza-Her-Monsters-Francesca-Zappia/dp/0062290134?keywords=eliza+and+her+monsters&qid=1537849255&sr=8-1
