Can anyone suggest a good young adult book for me?

My favorite book at the moment is 'Just listen' by sarah dessen...so if you loved that book too and have any suggestions for me that would be great.

p.s I've read most of sarah Dessens other books so i don't need any suggestions on that part - though if you would like to share what your favorite book of hers is, go for it!

p.p.s No 'Twilight' nonsense please
