"Coming of age"ish young adult books?

synlor · 02-14-2011, 09:05 PM

I'm not sure what category I would exactly put this in, hence the "ish" part, but I just finished up Ned Vizzini's "It's Kind of a Funny Story" and "Be More Chill", and I'm looking for some similar kind of books. It seems like everything I've looked at are all heavily fantasy, but I want something more realistic. "Be More Chill" is a bit sci-fi, but still has normal young adults going about their life and such. So does anyone have any recommendations for me?

Thanks!
