If you've read "FAULT IN OUR STARS" other serious YA books to consider (excerpt from Boston Globe article)
If you've read "Fault in our Stars" (and haven't we all read and loved it!) -- from Chelsey Philpot's Boston Globe article, "Seasonal Reading for Young Adults":
"The best summer books blend elements of typical beach reads (romance, adventure, mystery, etc.) with reflective themes that explore friendship, loss, self-discovery, family, and more. The awesome plotlines of these titles will have readers tearing through pages, but the original and complex characters will leave them feeling that these tales, like the season itself, were over far too quickly.
“Before My Eyes” by Caroline Bock (St. Martin’s Griffin, 2014)
The lives of three young people — Max, the unhappy son of a state senator, Claire, a poet who feels responsible for her sister ever since their mother had a stroke, and Barkley, a troubled 21-year-old who hears a voice in his head — become joyfully and tragically intertwined one Long Island Labor Day Weekend."

and don't be embarrassed if you are an adult reading these young adult novels!!
