Sloppy Firsts by Megan McCafferty - the BEST young adult novel i have ever read (probably because it's geared a little older - mostly for the 16 to 26 set based on the pop culture references). it's fantastic - hilarious and touching and realistic and romantic, witty and clever with a heroine who i really identified with (it rarely happens that i'll read a book and think "i've had that same thought!"). there's no bad in that novel and the sequel (Second Helpings) is even better - you're going to want to read them back to back. Unfortunately, I would skip the third installment - I see there's a fourth in the works and I'm keeping my fingers crossed but... third one sucked.
Also Crossing California and it's sequel The Washington Story by Adam Langer. Wonderful characters, funny and bittersweet... two of my favorites... really good reads any time of the year :)
