The Bluest Eye
Set in the author's girlhood hometown of Lorain, Ohio, it tells the story of black, eleven-year-old Pecola Breedlove. Pecola prays for her eyes to turn blue so that she will be as beautiful and beloved as all the blond, blue-eyed children in America. In the autumn of 1941, the year the marigolds in the Breedloves' garden do not bloom. Pecola's life does change- in painful, devastating ways.

Hushed
He’s loved her. Killed for her. Yet he may not be able to save her.Eighteen-year-old Archer couldn’t protect his best friend, Vivian, from what happened when they were kids. Since then, he’s never stopped trying to shelter her from everything else. It doesn’t matter that Vivian only uses him when skipping from one toxic relationship to another. Archer is always there, reeled in and tossed out, waiting to be noticed.Then Evan Bishop breezes into town with a warm smile and calming touch, and Archer can’t deny his attraction to him. Evan is the only person who keeps him around without a single string attached. And the harder Archer falls for Evan, the more he sees Vivian for the manipulative hot-mess she really is.But Viv has her hooks in deep, and once she finds out Archer’s dark secret, she threatens to expose the truth if she doesn’t get what she wants. And what she wants is for him to end his relationship with Evan...permanently.

A Density of Souls
Four high school students in present-day New Orleans are torn apart by envy, passion, and tragedy.

Meredith, Brandon, Greg, and Stephen quickly discover the fragile boundaries between friendship and betrayal as they enter high school and form new alliances. Brandon and Greg gain popularity as football jocks and Meredith joins the bulimic in-crowd, while Stephen becomes the target of homophobia in a school that viciously mocks him. Then two violent deaths disrupt the core of what they once shared.

Five years later, the friends are drawn back together as new facts about their mutual history are revealed, and what was held to be a tragic accident is discovered to be murder. As the true story emerges, other secrets begin to unravel and the casual cruelties of high school develop into acts of violence that threaten an entire city.

I was so shocked by that at first but having read the book a few more times it doesn't have as much of impact, lol.

OMG, read Hushed. I enjoyed it and there was some cuteness amongst that other stuff

Yeah, I heard it was supposed to be on some premium cable network. I kind of wished there was a sequel cos I love the main guy a lot.

TheDreamer

Y'all are paying dust to the most iconic books after the Bible itself....

The Harry Potter series.

Individual books I love are The Fault in our Stars and Cecilia Aherns The Gift!!!

Guernica

The Last Book In The Universe by Rodman Philbrick. It's actually meant more for younger teenagers (I first read it when I was 12). I read it in school as a class assignment and loved it so much that I bought it for myself. I also love Milkweed by Jerry Spinelli which is a fictional story about a young boy living in Poland during the Holocaust/WW II.
