I highly recommend everything on the list and hope that you guys can all relate to these books somehow and enjoy them as much as I did.

- The Universe is Expanding and So Am I is an amazing realistic fiction novel written by Carolyn Mackler. This book is about a 16 year old girl named Virginia who has very little self-esteem. Her family treats her with a enough disrespect to make Virginia cautious about her body and herself. Her life was on a line of normal until the police come knocking at her door calling for her older brother Brian. He was recently suspended from Colombia University due to a terrible incident were a girl in his school accused him of raping her. He has no memory of this but he has no right to say it is not true due to the fact that he was black out drunk at the time. The police take Brian away and Virginia feels her life fall apart piece by piece.
