+1 Wow - I'm still haunted by The Road and I read it when I was 30. |

You will like Ender's Game, and the Epic series by Conor Kostik. |

These are not YA, but they are incredible. |

I adore the Cinder series. Dystopian adventure with a little fairy tale theme thrown in. Also strong female characters.
The Red Queen is a fun series too. Enders Game is fabulous (skip the movie). The books get increasingly heady and political as they go, but the first two are incredible. |

This is my favorite genre, I could name so many great ones but The Razorland series is the only one I can think of that's YA. I loved it though as a 30 year old. |

So many! The Giver and the following sequels especially Son. Feed by Mira Grant ( trilogy) She has short stories which haunted me for a long time. Animal Farm by George Orwell The Hunt Trilogy by Andrew Fukuda First book in the Divergent series, second book ok and didn't like the third at all And finally Hugh Howey and his Silo trilogy Wool, Shift and Dust Again didn't like the ending but, perhaps that is the most difficult thing to do. |

| Life As We Knew It - I read it as an adult and really liked it! But it's definitely for teens. |
