When the Truth Unravels | RuthAnne Snow
Pickpick

This was a relevant but not too heavy read on the complicated relationships between friends who want to give a formally suicidal member of their group the perfect prom night.

Then everything falls apart when she goes missing.

This book has:

-great characters
-a weepy ending
-the ability to be fun and serious at the same time

As You Wish | Chelsea Sedoti

Pickpick

There are lots of polarized reviews, especially about the ending. I liked it, Sedoti's voice is so compelling!

The citizens of Madison, Nevada get one wish on their 18th birthdays - and they all seem to regret it. Eldon struggles with what - and whether - he'll wish, and he learns more than he'd like along the way.

Pick if you like:
-contemp with a hint of magic
-addictive voice
-unlikable protagonists

Undead Girl Gang | Lily Anderson

PICK PICK PICK. The most quotable YA I've read in years. Feminist and funny and sympathetic. Mila the teen Wiccan brings her friends back from the dead to find out who killed her. But she also brings back two murdered mean girls - and no one remembers the night they died.

-Great one-liners
-Twisty and gripping
-Lily Anderson's voice is the best voice.

As the only Muslim and brown kid at school, Maya struggles with her identity versus the way others see her. When a terrorist attack occurs in her hometown, Maya faces pressure from her parents and her classmates. Everyone expects her to be something different. Everyone's wrong.

-Lighthearted tone
-Addictive writing
-The twist had me thinking long after I turned the last page.
