This Song Will Save Your Life by Leila Sales - I feel like I really connected with Elise in this story, there were so many times I just wanted to jump in it and give her a big hug and tell her everything was going to be ok. This is one book that I will gladly pass on to my kids when they are old enough.

Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles - I had actually checked this book out from the Library multiple times in the past but I never got past the first chapter.
