1.Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd
I love this book becomes it teaches the importance of family and acceptance of others.
2. Dreamland by Sarah Dessen
This is one of my favorite books because it deals with teenage problems without being your average teenage gossip novel and Sarah Dessen is one of my favorite authors.
3. Scar Tissue by Anthony Kiedis
This autobiography is one of my favorites because it is written by the lead singer of one of my favorite bands, The Red Hot Chili Peppers and becomes its about never giving up for what you want.
4. A Million Little Pieces by James Frey
This book is heart wrenching, terrifying and gritty. I love it because it makes you realize how great your life really is.
5. The Perks of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chboskey
I love this book because it’s a piece about growing up and finding your way.
6. A Separate Peace by John Knowles
I loved that it was an innocent story about boys growing up at a boarding school but behind the innocence there is worry about the war and what the world will become.
7. My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult
I was reading this book at beach day on my study abroad summer program and I started sobbing. I love that it asks questions that really make you think about family and the importance of life.

Attagirl, whether you're reading fiction or nonfiction, it seems to me that you're drawn to what I'd call coming-of-age books, stories about people more or less your own age and the hardships they face as they journey through adolescence toward finding their places in the world. I don't know Sarah Dessen, but obviously you have experienced more than one of her books? Thanks for a thoughtful list.
