Ask the Passengers by A.S. King

This book is about a girl named Astrid Jones who's parents don't really care about her. I don't really know her age, but I think she's in high school or college. She likes to spend her time sitting on the picnic table in the backyard watching airplanes. Astrid also thinks about her personal life as well, and that leads to her being in love with a girl. This is pretty much what this book is about, so there are mature topics. I liked this book, but it was a little confusing as well, but I would recommend this book to anyone who is okay with mature topics.

Challenger Deep by Neal Shusterman

Caden Bosch is a high school student that likes to think a lot. He spends hours and hours thinking about anything, and even pretends to join the track team in school like his parents told him to; but instead he just walks around and thinks. He also is on a ship that's going to the deepest point on Earth, Challenger Deep. Apparently Caden also has schizophrenia, which is a mental illness that is talked about a lot in this book. I don't really know how to summarize this book because I was really confused. This is a realistic fiction book, and it written in first and second person. I liked this book, but as I said I didn't understand anything that was happening, because it switched from Caden's life with his parents and him on a ship. This book makes you think a lot. I would recommend this book to people who like books with action going on, and it doesn't really have mature topics.
