Ellen Hopkins without a doubt is the first to cross my mind. Second (but not really lol) are P.C. Cast, Kristin Cast, & Gena Showalter (All Oklahoman authors so they have a special place in my heart!). Next is any book written in the fashion of Go Ask Alice (like Lucy in the Sky, Letting Ana Go, Jay’s Journal, the Book of David, etc). They are edited by Beatrice Sparks.
