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.

The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo
Family dysfunction, relationships that are challenging. Looking for a mother who will help her grow up instead of tearing her down. Boys who harass girls. How does she communicate with her family? Especially when her words are burned up. It's a good read. Audio book also very good.
Fine for high school libraries. Just be aware, it can be painfully true.
