I want novels that are more ‘literary’ which have a teenage protagonist. Books like Bonjour Tristesse, The Goldfinch, maybe even Call Me By Your Name. Preferably ones which are more character-driven. YA books are usually written too basic and a lot of it is fantasy or sci-fi, or high-school focused (nothing wrong with that it’s just not my thing).

Citrus County by John Brandon is about teenagers but definitely didn’t feel YA.
