Iono... I'm 17, and one of my favorites is How I Live Now. It's like a romance, can't stop reading type of things.

Or if you want a 15-18 age type of book that's a supernatural and all that, Daughters Of The Moon's reeeeal good. There's I think 20 volumes of it.

OR! Go Ask Alice. True story, a diary in fact... A girl who struggles from drugs and everything.

Trust me, I never read boring books.
