For all my writing, I don't actually get out there and read a whole lot anymore, and I think it's partially because I don't know where to start. So, I'd like to dedicate this section to recommendations for completed or published works from and YA author! I'll begin...
My recommendation is Looking for Alaska, by John Green; it's the novel that challenged me to get into the YA genre in the first place! LFA was written in 2007 but didn't gain it's massive popularity until 2012. The story follows an innocent and awkward teen on his journey to find a "Great Perhaps" at a boarding school in southern Alabama. He meets a rambunctious girl named Alaska with whomever he immediately falls in love, but cannot be with due to a number of different circumstances. The novel is about freedom, purpose, mortality, and the plight of our human quest for love and acceptance. I reccomend it with a 10/10!
