Ive only recently gotten into the coming of age/memoir type genre of books but the few I’ve read so far have been great and I’d love to read more.
I really liked A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genious by Dave Eggers
Also just finished Geoff Rickly’s Someone Who Isn’t Me and was blown away.
I read Perks of Being a Wallflower and Everything I Never Told You in freshman year for a class and really loved those stories to.
I’d love to read more sort of similar to these but also maybe something a little more targeted towards by age group now that im older and entering adulthood soon. Either way I’ll be happy to hear any and all suggestions.

Homecoming by Cynthia Voight
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. My favorite and a thought-provoking read for your age.
Bendigo Shafter by Louis L’ amour. A fun western.
Ender’s Game. Classic sci-fi and a great read.
The Hobbit and LOTR series for a fantasy choice.
The Giver. A little on the younger side but still good.
