The Fault in Our Stars by John Green - I think this one's a given
Dare You To (Pushing the Limits #2) by Katie McGarry - Drug abuse, physical abuse, homosexuality... Absolutely love the way McGarry writes
Looking for Alibrandi by Melina Marchetta - Racism was just one of the many tough/depressing themes of this amazing read
Easy by Tammara Webber - A really, really amazing take on rape, its consequences, and what happens if it's not reported
If I Stay (If I Stay #1) by Gayle Forman - Absolutely heart-wrenching, to live or to die when you have practically nothing left?
Saving June by Hannah Harrington - Halfway through this one but it deals with the aftermath of suicide
Drowning Instinct by Isla J. Bick - I'm cheating here as I haven't read it but I KNOW this is hella depressing; I'm too scared to start it, I know I need a really good book to read after I finish this to get me out of the sadness I'll feel at the ending.
Flawed by Kate Avelynn - Abuse. Lots of it. In practically every form
Between the Lives by Jessica Shirvington - This book omg. ALL THE FEELS. Essentially it's about choosing life.

You could almost pick any ten YA books at random and find ten great books that deal with tough subjects!
ReplyDeleteHere's my list of top ten books that deal with tough subjects.
Great list here! Some I need to add to my TBR pile. Definitely agree with Easy and Hopeless, they made it to my list too.
ReplyDeleteEasy made my list too! And, I've been waiting for the right moment to read Hopeless. I've heard it's so emotional!
ReplyDeleteHere's my list this week --> TTT @ Krista's Dust Jacket
The ones I've read are on my list as well, and almost all the others are on my TBR already!
ReplyDeleteHere's my TTT post.
Happy reading.
I love reading Coleen Hoover's books. There always emotionally compelling. How did you feel about flawed? It seems like a good book. +1 in my TBR pile now ^.^
ReplyDeleteI started If I Stay today! Good so far. So many people picked The Fault in our Stars. I can't believe I left that off my list.
