Powerpuff [thinks ur cute] asked:
I just finished reading a great book by Meg Cabot [Author of the Princess Diaries] called “How to be popular” [No it wasn't instructions on how to be popular] it was great! It had all the elements of a teenagers life facing peers, romance, friends, appearance, etc. I’m looking for a great book like that! I ESPECIALLY enjoy books that are like diaries/journals where the character is writing about themselves and like about their problems. Romance is a plus too! Books I’ve liked in the past:
Don’t you dare read this Mrs. Dunphrey
Princess Diaries
Explaining the unexplained
How to be popular
I’ve read Diary of Anne Frank [in 8th grade] and Chicken Soup for the Teenage soul…

chicken soup for the teenage soul
the sisterhood of the travelling pants. Its good. and long. I dont remember th eauthors name.
Before i even read the second part of your quesstion i was gonna say “American Girl”, by Meg cabot…REALLY good but dont just reead the beggining and stop becasue it gets REALLY interesting as you go. And my ALL time favorite books are the “face on the milk carton” books REEEEEEALLLY GOOOD!!!
I would highly recommend Ordinary People. It is a great story and made a great movie, too. I think it will raise the bar for your reading habits just a little but I think you will enjoy it. Pax – C

falling by anne provoost: Falling is an intriguing and captivating novel about a hot summer during which things slowly but surely get out of hand. (made into a movie, i’m renting it)
one night by margeret wild: though not what you would call a story but a when read it feels like one

cheers!
“Someone Like You” and “That Summer,” by Sara Dessen.
“Big Mouth & Ugly Girl” by Joyce Carol Oates
“Stargirl” by Jerry Spinelli.
Okay here are two books: one is non fiction, titled “reviving ophelia”. the second is an older book and it is a fiction called “lisa bright and dark”.
I highly recommend “It’s Kind Of A Funny Story” by Ned Vizzini… Another great one is “Heavy Metal and You” (nothing much to do with heavy metal, it’s a novel.. lol.. ) And another book by Vizzini is “Teen Angst? Naah..” and “Be More Chill”…
You can try the Mediator series and All American Girl by Meg Cabot.
The Georgia Nicholson Series is terrific- by Louise Rennison.
Harry Potter is always good- I was more into fantasy teen drama stories. I still am actually.
More recommendations:
A Great and Terrible Beauty
His Dark Materials Trilogy
Abhorsen Trilogy

Dear America series
The Young Royals Series
That’s all I can think of for now..
“Tears of a Tiger” “Forged by Fire” “Darkness Before Dawn” “Romiette and Julio” by Sharon Draper are really good books. (all but the last are a trilogy with the same characters.)
