As a teacher-librarian, I have the opportunity to read young adult books to share with my students. The list that I have provided will have an overview of the book and personal comments. They are on a Book-mercial style image to get a taste of the essence of the book.

Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell
I read this because my teen neighbor talked about how she loved this book and that she's not a reader but this book made her want to read. I listened to the audio version. It's set in the "80's when I was a teen. It's a very realistic story and sometimes because of the desperation in Eleanor's life it can get painful to read. I would say this would be a great story for mature students. Very mature students. It's a great story. If you like John Green books, then this would be a story you would enjoy as well.
