Hello! Today I am recommending YA books. I will state what I like about the book and what I didn't like about it. These are arranged in random order.
Calvin is a book about a kid whose diagnosed with schizophrenia, Calvin (the kid), decides the best way to deal with this is to cross Lake Erie in January, to find the creator of Calvin and Hobbes who has become a hermit.
The author sucks you into Calvin's mind, where it all make sense. Calvin's hallucinations make sense, joyriding in cars on frozen Lake Erie makes sense, Hobbes (like Hobbes from Calvin and Hobbes) is alive, real, and hungry. It all makes sense.
This book mentions quite a bit of stuff from Calvin and Hobbes, so it's best to read after reading Calvin and Hobbes.

Turtles All The Way Down is about Aza. This book focuses on three things a) the disappearance of a billionaire, b) Davis Pickett, because this is a John Green novel, and c) Anxiety and mortality.
This book also sucks you into the mind of Aza, and John Green did such a good job with the anxiety this book will literally make you anxious, warning.
Plus Daisy, Aza's best friend , is complete nerd. Five hundred percent. Not only is she a fanfiction writer, she speaks the language of the Wookies.
This book is so delightfully weird, fortunes are left to reptiles, people speak Wookie, and somehow the main characters end up getting years worth of coupons.

Eleanor and Park is..I don't know how to describe it. But it's a masterpiece and you should read it.
It takes place in the 80s and it seems so much like a time machine.
It is a romance that you will most likely enjoy even if you do not like romances.
It will make you cry...probably.
Eleanor and Park's friendship (yes they can be friends and dating) is based around comics and music, unlike other characters in romance novels, who are dating but barely know each other.
