We Can't Keep Meeting Like This by Rachel Lynn Solomon

I think the hard thing with this one is that it's marketed as a teen book but the premise makes the character's behaviors and situations a lot more A than Y, if you get me. There's nothing wrong with this, but it does affect how often and to whom I can recommend this book (I'd be much more likely to recommend it to the 18-24 crowd than 16-18, for example, based on drug references early on and the amount of sexual situations described).
That being said, I get why it has these things based on how the character came to be--she basically is treated as being much older than she is which doesn't allow her the time to be her own age and make mistakes and explore the way other teens her age do. Not a deal breaker or a bad book, but something to know if you're looking for books to recommend to your high school crowd.
