      Looking for Alaska is actually my favorite by John Green. I also really liked Paper Towns.

    2. Do you like science?
      The Martian is great.
      World War Z and devolution are good max brooks books. I realize those don’t match the fault in our stars. I was thinking more 18 year old boy.

      What did you like about it?

      Are you looking for more contemporary novels that are about love and human connection? Because I have suggestions for days.

      [The Perks of Being a Wallflower by: Stephen Chbosky](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22628) is definitely in the same vein. Short and sweet, not too girly.

      [It’s Kind of a Funny Story by: Ned Vizzini](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/248704)
      Instead of the physical health aspect of The Fault in Our Stars there is a lot of mental health issues.

      If you’re looking to move on from the YA books and into general adult novels the author Pat Conroy does a fantastic job at painting a picture rife with emotion. My favorites by him are [Beach Music](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16729) and [The Prince of Tides](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16735). My dad introduced me to this author when I was having a difficult time. His books are usually funny and moving at the same time.

      If you want a book about family [This is Where I Leave You by: Jonathan Tropper](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6224935) is about a marriage on the rocks and the death of a patriarch.

      One of the most beautiful books I ever read was [Never Let Me Go by: Kazuo Ishiguro](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6334) which is a coming of age novel taking place at a strange school in the English countryside.

      If you’re looking for things that are less feeling and more “macho” you could always read [Fight Club by: Chuck Palahniuk](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5759)

    4. You might like The Book Thief, I really enjoyed it when I read it for the first time around your age, it’s very moving. The first chapter is a bit slow (or I found it slow lol) but after that it really picks up 🙂

    5. Looking for Alaska by John Green, The Perks of Being a Wallflower by S. Chbosky, Paper Castles by B. Fox.
