These are excellent recommendations, Carol! Thank you! I loved PIECING ME TOGETHER and recommended it for 8th graders. It’s a very gentle book for teens and older middle schoolers who love to read.

I just read Piecing Me Together which I think is gentler than THUG but still shares some of the same themes. It would be perfect for young YA. A couple of cute romcoms for YA could be Tweet Cute and You Have a Match by Emma Lord. Of the two, I enjoyed Tweet Cute more.
