Looking for books similar to the perks of being a wallflower, looking for alaska, the fault in our stars?

I'm looking for some new books, similar to "The Perks of being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky, "Looking for Alaska" by John Greene, or "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Greene.

So if anyone has any books similar please let me know! I'd be forever in your debt!

My favourite of those 3 would be perks of being a wallflower, then looking for alaska.

Oh, and I tried "It's Kindof A Funny Story" by Ned Vazzini after enjoying the film... safe to say, im not a fan. Couldn't finish it. So not that one, please!

A little extra info: Before reading these, i read predominately dystopian fiction (ie. Hunger games, divergent, birthmarked, inside out, etc)

    Those are seriously all my favs. Try speak! & 13 reasons why is my all time favourite its amazing. and also, if you liked the hunger games try the uglies series i read it last year i loved it. Also, paper towns by john green is pretty good. I'm reading An Abundance Of Katherine's right now its not as like grabbing as the other books are that just make you want to read but its not bad or anything...also i have a to read list i made the other day so you might like some of these (I'm yet to read but some people who like the same books recommended them & i read the little description of them :) just google a few and it'll give you the like info on it what its about and stuff, maybe you'll like some of them :)

    Try 'The Catcher In The Rye'. It's my favourite book and a fantastic coming of age story like 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower'.

    There is another book by John Green called An Abundance of Katherines. :) I would also recommend books by S.E. Hinton, I really like her books. And also It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini. And also a book called The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nightime. :)
