Bumped
When I was 13, I thought this was a cool book. It had a interesting plot, and it was an easy read. Looking back now, I don't think this is good book to represent women. It is more of a warning per say. -

Go Ask Alice
When I read this book, it really opened my eyes as to how quick people can spiral with mental health issues. It really became a book that I have remembered for years. -
Crank
I was 16 when I first read Crank By Ellen Hopkins. It really reads like poetry, but has a deep meaning of falling into drugs. -
Dreamland
When I read Dreamland by Sarah Dessen, that was the first time domestic violence was ever shown to me on a level that was age appropriate. Of course I had heard about it with adults, but had never really thought it could happen at my age. It was an eye opener. -
The Rest of the Story
In 2019 I read Sarah Dessen's final "Young Adult" book she plans on publishing. It was a nice read but not the stories I remember. -
Midnight Sun
I recently read the last Twilight book and was not as impressed with it as I would've been 10 years ago.
