Nobody writes quite like Stephenie Meyer. So there are no *exact* matches in style or content to be offered as suggestions. But I can share some of my own recommendations.
If you liked the vampire aspect of Twilight you might enjoy The Silver Kiss by Annette Curtis Klause. She is also the author of Blood and Chocolate about werewolves. Another YA vampire book is Scott Westerfeld's Peeps.
I hesitate to say these books are similar in style...but the following books were recommended to me as 'similar' in some ways to Twilight. One is A Certain Slant of Light by Laura Whitcomb and the other is A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray. I can see some of the appeal of these books, but neither "grabbed" me the way Twilight did. But they're something to consider. And they've both had very favorable reviews by readers.
The above recommendations tend to lack the certain something that I personally loved about Twilight. The romance.
If you liked the romantic chemistry of Twilight....you might like reading Sarah Dessen. I love Dessen's novels. They're built around characters...and the romance is really grounded. It's "real" in a sense much like I felt Edward and Bella were.

A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray. Her writing style's very similar to Stephenie Meyer's and it's a great book.
