Deep Creek: Finding Hope in the High Country by Pam Houston
A love letter to the 120-acre ranch that Pam Houston calls her own in the mountains of Colorado. Simple writing, but poetry all the same. #25wordbookreview (link)

On the Come Up by Angie Thomas
Just as good as The Hate U Give. Audiobook bonus: narrator Bahni Turpin rapping. #25wordbookreviews (link)

Darius the Great is Not Okay
The very best of YA; tells of a tender friendship between teen boys both dealing with Big Things in their lives, including depression and bullying. #25wordbookreviews (link to amazon)
