You Recommend - CONTEMPORARY FICTION


Calling all fellow reviewers/bloggers! I need yall's help big time!
For two years I've read almost exclusively YA, and especially YA with some kind of fantasy elements: either high fantasy, paranormal, etc.
So I really don't know what's out there, contemp-wise. But I'd love to find out!

Would you help a girl out and name some great contemp books that you liked?
Please?

... Here's where I'm going to be a pain in the butt, though (sorry!)
I'd really like for the recommendations to be "clean," or at least, *minor* sexual content/drug-and-alcohol content, please. Nothing too gritty, like Thirteen Reasons Why or The DUFF or anything like that. The reason I'm being picky is because I'm going to put these rec's on my "local blog" for middle school/high school kids and their parents, and I'd feel comfortable recommending stuff that would be appropriate and suitable for as many kids as possible :)
Thank you guys so much! I really appreciate it :D

have you read ANY of these books?!


Dear fellow reviewers,
I need some major help.
These books are some of my "Friday Finds" but I don't really know that much about them.
Have you read any of these?
If so, what did you think, and would you recommend them?

Scrambled Eggs at Midnight - Brad Barkley & Heather Hepler

Dream Factory - Brad Barkey & Heather Hepler
The Karma Club - Jessica Brody
The Cinderella Society - Kay Cassidy
Cybele's Secret - Juliet Marillier
Once was Lost - Sara Zarr

PLUS...

I'm about to put up a MAJOR RECOMMENDATION PLEASE post for Contemporary Fiction. Yes, it is time for Amelia to branch out and read a different genre. The Dessen books were fun, but I'd like some more, please! Will you all take a moment to recommend your favorite contemps to me later this week?
