I'm sharing my 5 favorite books from when I was a teen! YA didn't exist as a category when I was a teen, so it's a real mixed bag. (For context: I am 34)

THE BOOKS

Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen
The Tin Drum by Gunter Grass
Bridget Jones Diary by Helen Fielding
Harry Potter by JK Rowling
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

Some small notes/corrections! Technically you could argue that Lizzie is Pride and Darcy is Prejudice! Layers!

Also, to be more specific, re: The Tin Drum--it's a complex metaphor for Germany's history from post-World War I up until the 70s/80s.
