What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

i like books where the narrator has to accommodate to different changes in life, such as moving into a new house, like Jennifer Ziegler's How Not to Be Popular or new body, like David Levithan's Every Day. Preferably YA, but i don't mind adult fiction every once in a while.

What Happened to Goodbye

Already read it; thanks for the rec though...

I don't like romances and i'm not a big fan of mysteries. I prefer either suspense/psychological thriller, or just plain YA fiction, but NOT Sarah Dessen

The Book of Lost Things?

A New Life by Bernard Malamud. Adult.

Wow, thanks, Lobstergirl! This sounds perfect!

Good, I hope you like it.

Okay, so i just finished reading Kimberly Derting's Desires of the Dead, and i loved it, but i guess you could say it was a romance. It was YA fiction and VERY suspenseful. I think that's the only reason why i didn't mind the romance/paranormal theme to it. And the main theme of the story was the suspenseful part; not the romantic part. So, if you have any suggestions that have a bit of romance - and i mean a BIT - i will not read them unless their summaries prove them to be EXTREMELY suspenseful.
Thank you, goodpeople of goodreads!
