This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen
The main character, Remy, does not believe in love after watching her mother go through marriage after marriage. Remy never knew her father, a rock star who wrote a song for her called "This Lullaby" which was a smash hit but included the line, "I will let you down."
Remy is hesitant to get too close to people. Having seen so many men come in and out of her mother's life, she thinks that most people will hurt you and that most relationships are only temporary, so why get attached? She prefers to push them away instead - until Dexter stumbles into her life, pursues her and refuses to let her run away.
Though Remy is not a romantic girl, she's had her share of boyfriends. Though she may be cyncial, she is not cold nor a "loner," enjoying the company of her three very different friends, Jess, Chloe and Lissa; her mother, a writer; and her older brother, who is slowly changing due to the influence of his prim and proper girlfriend. Remy has a life, a job, a love for Zip Diet Coke. After working her tail off in high school and proving everyone wrong about her, she has a future at Stanford.
This book accurately shows how the summer between high school and college can change a person - and how, though others can influence you, you have to want to change in order for it to be true and beneficial.
I highly recommend all of Dessen's novels, with THE TRUTH ABOUT FOREVER and THIS LULLABY being the best of the bunch. Realistic and unpredictable, heartbreaking and heartwarming, THIS LULLABY is a must-read.

Basically any book by Sarah Dessen or Meg Cabot. If you like more of a tragedy go with Sarah but a funny romance go with any Meg cabot book.

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer is a great book!!! Bella Swan may appear to be your average teenager, but her life is about to go from ordinary to extraordinary when she moves to a new town and starts falling in love with the school's handsome, mystery boy. Edward is so unlike anyone she's ever met...but he has one very big secret--he's a vampire. And no matter how much he fights it...he's in love with her too!
