Jughead, Dancing in Dark (thanx Hashem_Yaazor for the correction!) is about a family dealing with mental illness and their struggles to stay afloat. Mainly it depicts 2 sisters in high school who are extremely close and are basically each other's lifeline during this difficult time. As the story develops, it portrays how this is not healthy for either of them. It is extremely well written and very realistic.


It was refreshingly well-written. As far as the best, though...hard call. So many good ones like Sun Inside Rain and Shortchanged.
Please note, when I say the best, I mean the one that was not only well-written but really grabbed me. That has a few pages here and there that I reread, over and over. YMMV.

Sun inside rain hands down. The only book I've read where every word had layers and layers and layers of meaning.
Tzippi catons books come next
And after that comes EGS

The best book I've read in a while -- and not specifically for the writing only but also for the content: Where Wild Marigolds Grow

The tochein is incredible. Everyone I have suggested it to has appreciated the recommendation.

I love Between the Thorns by Libby Lazewnik. And the prequel, The Search for Miri.
Also "old" books but I've reread BtT so many times!
