We read this one in school when we were like 16ish, and it was one of the only books that I actually really loved that I was forced to read. It introduces so many interesting concepts in such a creepy and disturbing way. The ending blew my mind at the time, I haven't re-read so idk whether it hold up, but it's definitely an amazing read for a teen.
