Moving on to some intriguing young adult fiction, The Girls by Emma Cline shows teenagers the dangers of losing yourself in the world of apathy and capriciousness we all yearn for instead of practical daily routines. Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys, a historical fiction piece, follows 4 teenagers in 1945 as they all board a ship promising freedom. But, fate has brought them together with other plans in mind.
If you’re into the more thrilling, dark and sordid books then The Butterfly Garden, about a “garden” of kidnapped girls, by Dot Hutchinson and Behind Closed Doors, about a perfect couple with a dark secret, by B.A. Paris are two books you must read in your free time. Janay' D. Lee
