Favorite Teenage Angst Books

Favorite Teenage Angst Books is a site designed for the teen reader and features young adult titles and authors. With groupings such as "diary-ish" "sex and love" and "out of bounds" it grabs the attention of the teen reader and puts books in the hands of the kids that the kids want...not what adults think they should want.
