The Future of YA Authors discussion

The title of the topic says it all! What's your favorite YA book and what is it you love so much about it?

If you have more than one you absolutely adore, please feel free to post about them all!

The Giver is amazing! I'm not sure why I love it, but I always have, ever since sixth grade.

One of my newest faves in If I was your girl by Meredith Russo, as it hit kinda close to home. Especially the author's note at the end. I cried, but it was tears of joy! A must-read!
