Megan McCafferty writes this series that started off in high school. It's the diaries of this one average teenage girl and pretty much follows her musings and what goes on around her in school and life lol There's only 4 books and they move fairly fast. I loved the first two: Sloppy Firsts and Second Helpings.
I know every time I'm in Target, I always check out the book section and Gossip Girls and this other set of teen fiction (TTYL I think is the name of one of the books lol) are always right up there at the top of the teen reads.
AAH! Meg Cabot! How could I forget her?! She wrote the Princess Diaries books along with a bunch of others, and I think your stories mirror hers in a lot of ways as well.
Wow, it's been a while since I've touched young adult lol and I'm only 20

Some one else was telling me Meg Cabbot. I was looking at her publisher the other day too. Thank you ladies. My list is already starting to grow. Yay! Oh, man, maybe I should go to the beach now... I wonder how warm it is right now.

I think, if I were you (and I'm obviously not lol), I'd go to Barnes and Noble or Borders and look through their Young Adult section. Usually, they separate out their bestsellers in each section, so you could peruse through those as well and get more ideas. There's a ton of books out there in YA land that I'm sure not all of us know of or have read, so what better place than a bookstore to find more books, right? ;D

My favorite books ever are Harry Potter.
As far as adult romance goes, I like Nicholas Sparks. My favorite book by him is "The Guardian," probably because it has a good suspense/mystery subplot, so it's not all romance (his books that are all romance tend to get boring for me), and it has good characters.
My favorite young adult author is Lurlene McDaniel... she writes romance, but it's the sappy, tearjerkery type (my favorite! LOL). Favorite book is "Don't Die, My Love."
My other favorite young adult author is Elizabeth Chandler. She also writes romance, but with a supernatural/suspense/mystery twist. She has a series of books called "Dark Secrets," but my absolute favorite by her (one of my favorite books of all time) is a trilogy called "Kissed by An Angel." I have the Collector's Edition, which is all three books in one, so I tend to think of it as one book, but technically it's a trilogy. It's soooo good. It's technically young adult; the main characters are in high school, but I can read it now, as an adult, and enjoy it as much as I did when I was in 8th grade and read it for the first time.
