Looking for recs for high school class: needs to be contemp, girl protag, romance not main plot/no sappy gushy love of bad boys or 'I can't do anything without him' kinda thing - something deeper! And very important: preferably less than 300 pages long. Ideally around 250.
(Have very many good titles in mind, but they're all too long...)

I'm looking for examples of YA with lyrical prose. I'm not sure if that is exactly what I mean, but something that sings. I tend to write in rather matter of fact, to the point way, and I want to branch out a little with a little more description and a little beautiful sentence construction. I don't know if that makes any sense, but if you have suggestions for any YA, any genre, with beautiful prose I would love some ideas.
Christa, I haven't read it, but I just came across a series called BRIGHT YOUNG THINGS that's set in the Roaring 20's, by Anna Godbersen. It has decent reviews.
Awesome! I'll be looking at those books more closely. Thanks!!!Christa - I just googled YA 1920's and found this list:

Christa - Another 1920's based book The Diviner's by Libba Bray and the sequel coming out soon. I think it has paranormal elements.

I'm still looking for contemporary YA books with unreliable protagonists, awesome twists and reader manipulation.
If you're still looking for unreliable narrators:
BONE GAP by Laura Ruby
and my favorite, one of my faves of YA, ever, is INEXCUSABLE by Chris Lynch.
