'Eleanor & Park' by Rainbow Rowell:

 

 

It is a sweet book about two people. They find themselves misfits for each other, but the bond between them is super cute. They connect over their shared quirkiness and love of music. More than that, it's about the friendships that we value more than anything in the initial teenage years. It's about dependency as we see Eleanor, living with her family at her horrible step-father's home, and she looks for an escape when Park comes into her life.

 

'Prep' by Curtis Sittenfeld:

 

 

The book came out in 2005 and has been popular since then. It is like a cult classic coming-of-age story. The story is about a highly relatable girl who leaves her small town and gets admission to a fancy preparatory school. There she gets impressed by the elite students. She observes them very keenly. One day her spot is blown up by a journalist who publishes her thoughts on race and class, and she is left surprised. Many young teenagers can relate to her ideas.

 

‘You Don't Have to Learn Everything the Hard Way’ by Laya Saul:

 

 

We all know that life gives us plenty of lessons, and most of the time, they are learned after having a bad experience. In this book, Laya educates teenagers on a lot of things they can't discuss with anyone else. Some lessons can only be learned by making mistakes, but not all of them, and this book covers a lot of things that teens should know about but probably would never ask.

 

‘The Hate U Give’ by Angie Thomas:

 

 

The book tells you the story of sixteen-year-old Starr. She has somehow stuck between two worlds: the poor community where she and her family lives and the wealthy prep school she attends. This story is about the struggles and the balancing acts by her at every stage. The situation becomes trickier when her childhood best friend is shot to death by the police in front of her. The theme of the book is inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement. This gives you chills and is specially written for adults and teens alike.

 

‘What I Leave Behind’ by Alison McGhee:

 

 

After the shocking incident of his dad's suicide, Will starts to find peace by helping others. He tries hard to overcome his own misery and, therefore, finds needy people and secretly supports them. He leaves little gifts for everyone in his life. That's how gradually his trauma fades away, and he truly begins to live his life again.
