Well, if you like books like "Cut" and "Go Ask Alice" (which I loved), I think there are some great books out there. You might check into:
1) "Leaving Fishers" by Margaret Peterson Haddix. If you think you know everything about cults, or think they'd be boring to read about, try this simple, but powerful fiction book. It's really good.
2) "The Year They Burned the Books"- a very absorbing, awesome book that rises in intensity all the way throughout, to a fantastic climax, about censorship and discrimination.
3) "Crooked"- another great book. It's been a while since I read it, but it had the same rising action and climactic tale of bullying and so on.
4) "Shadow" by Joyce Sweeney- a brilliant book about a girl who starts seeing the ghost of her dead cat around, and tries to figure out what it means. There's a reason her cat has come back, as we later realize, but everything sweeps up and it's just amazing.
5) "The China Garden"- a gorgeous, atmospheric tale of a girl who goes to England with her mother to care for an old man in his big manor, and meets a strange boy on a motorcycle, and a mysterious garden. It's very romantic, lush, and mysterious- pulled me right in, and my mom, too.
If you're into fashion, I know of a couple books- try "So Yesterday" by Scott Westerfeld- it's about a dangerous conspiracy using teens and fashion, just a really interesting premise.
Those are just a few that come to mind. Hope you enjoy whatever you choose to read!

Izzy, Willy, Nilly (a book all teens should read atleast once, in my opinion)
Up a Road Slowly by Irene Hunt
The Locket by Richard Paul Evans
Fifteen by Beverly Cleary
Emily Ever After by Ann Dayton( alot of fashion info)

The Face on the Milk Carton (a real page turner-the movie was good, too!)

Reilly's Luck by Louis L'Amour.Its a western.A young boy is abandoned by his own mother(she tells her boyfriend to kill him)The boy ends up with a gambler and he brings him up.Turns out to be the best gamble he ever made.The boy grows up and later kills the people who murdered the gambler.The Daybreakers,Fair blows the wind,Galloway are also good books by the same author.

The Gift of the Magi,From the cabby's seat,Last leaf all by the same author are terrific stories.Another great writer is Anton Chekov.
Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote the Mars novels and the tarzan novels.There are 11 novels in the mars series beginning with 'a princess of mars'.Captain John Carter of the Confederate Army is whisked to Mars and discovers a dying world of dry ocean beds where giant four-armed barbarians rule, of crumbling cities home to an advanced but decaying civilization, a world of strange beasts and savage combat, a world where love, honor and loyalty become the stuff of adventure. The later books are about his son Carthoris,daughter Tara etc.John carter is a recurring character in all these books as martians live for 1000 years.
The best among the Tarzan novels is 'Son of Tarzen.' Jack,the son of Tarzan shared his father's love for apes.He was only trying to help an ape escape to Africa from his cruel trainer.However he got involved in a murder and couldn't return home.He chose to live in the jungle with the apes.Its a fascinating book.The social system among the intelligent giant apes,Korak's relationship with Miriam are all interesting stuff.Its a great coming of age book.

Those are 2 excellent books; I can recommend Folly by Laurie King, but the main character is an older woman, so it might not be to your taste. Anything by Robin McKinley: Deerskin, Sunshine, The Blue Sword, The Hero and the Crown.

I have never read either books but the best book I've ever read was The Two Princesses of Bamarra by Gail Carson Levine. A girl that lives in my town wrote a Christian Fantasy called Sentry. Blair Riley is her pen name.

The Edge of the Sword, by Rebecca Tingle
It's a wonderful book about a fifteen year old girl who is the daughter of a great king, who finds out she is betrothed to another king who is a friend of her fathers. It's set in the 800's. I read it when I was thirteen, and it was really good. It's not really in the genre you're looking for, but I think you'd enjoy it.

Hey, I liked Cut too and if you liked that you might get into books about eating disorders such as anorexia. You can look for fiction books in the self-help section. There are some good ones out there.
Stardust by Neil Gaiman (fantasy, romance, adventure)

Nicholas Sparks, hands down. If you've seen The Notebook and A Walk to Remember, I would suggest you also read the books, as they are sooo much better the movies! But honestly any Nicholas Sparks book is great!
