I Need Titles for “Edgy Teen” Books.?
Question by Emi: I need titles for “Edgy teen” Books.?
My favorite type of book is what Barnes and Noble calls “Edgy Teen Books.” Go ask Alice, Beautiful, Winter Girls are a few of my favorites. I was looking for more of that book type.
Specifically I am looking for subjects like eating disorders, substance abuse, suicide, abuse, runaways, teen pregnancy, rape, mental illness, romance within the tragedy, or anything similar to those. It would be amazing if I could get a number of titles to look into. Thank you :3
