I like books that relate to or are about teens doing drugs, alcohol, addictions.
I’ve read crank, glass, impulse, burned, some really good books by Sarah Dessen, etc. . .
I am really looking for a good book to read!!
Yes I’ve already read Just Listen by Sarah Dessen! I’ve also read, someone like you, this lullaby, the truth about forever.

Nokosee: Rise of the New Seminole by Micco Mann. It has the defiant voice of a 17 year old girl who manages to overcome everything thrown at her in the course of the novel which is a lot– and she does it in a way that would make all girls proud– not in a superhuman way or through the assistance of some heroic act of a man or a monster but via her own means.

Cherry by Mary Karr. A memoir about teens, sex, drugs and growing up in rural Texas as told through the gritty, beautiful prose of one of America’s best writers. It’s a book every teen girl should read. If the opening paragraph doesn’t do it for you, nothing will (you can read it on the Amazon link below).

Last Summer by Evan Hunter (The Blackboard Jungle) is one of the great coming-of-age books about teen sex of all time. This 1968 book follows the random activities of four teens during a summer on Fire Island. Rhoda is shy and overweight and targeted for teasing by the others. As sexual tensions increase, the more experienced and dominant Sandy encourages Dan and Peter to rape Rhoda. Released in 1969 as an X-rated movie starring Richard Thomas and Barbara Hershey, it was later cut to an “R.” Unfortunately, it is not available for home viewing.
