Might want to ask /r/YAwriters and/or /r/YAlit also.

While The Fault in Our Stars would be a good example of healthy relationships, I don't think Divergent is a meaningful pick if you want the main topic to be relationships and/or sex.

Some books that focus on context for relationships and sex instead of having it as a minor plot point:

  • Forever by Judy Blume
  • Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan
  • Song of the Magdalene by Donna Jo Napoli

    /u/caseyoc's suggestion of Fangirl is another good one. Eleanor & Park, by the same author, is even more relationship-focused and building a relationship and consent is a huge part of the storyline.

    If you want to go off on tangents, Eve (terrible book) and The Jewel (better) are YA dystopias that deal heavily with consent and forced pregnancy. The Handmaid's Tale is a much better examination of the topic and accessible for high-schoolers.

    The Girl of Fire and Thorns trilogy by Rae Carson and the Trickster books by Tamora Pierce also win kudos for the protagonists choosing to have sex in a healthy relationship, seeking out birth control, and waiting for it to take effect. Both are in a fantasy setting where this problem is commonly brushed off.

It's the weekend! Thank god for that. I need weekend in my life.

This book has been on my mind for a while now, just the sort of book I need in my life right now.

I'm guessing she'd prefer to stick to contemporary YA stuff then?

Some Suggestions:

  • Speak is about a high school freshman who's gone selectively mute.
  • The same author wrote Wintergirls, about eating disorders and a girl who keeps seeing her dead best friend.
  • Boy Proof is about a loner geek girl in a Hollywood high school.
  • If I Stay is about a girl reflecting on her life from a coma and has a movie now.
  • Thirteen Reasons Why is about a boy piecing together reasons for his crush's suicide.
  • The Perks of Being a Wallflower is about a freshman inducted into a group of older, hard-partying senior friends. It also has a movie version.
  • Eleanor & Park is about two misfits being each others' first love in the 80s.
