This story tackles a lot of heavy subject matter, jumps between genres, and gets under your skin in a similar way to My Dark Vanessa. (Although, these stories aren't the same. It's just a similar feeling and exploration.) ...

Megan McCafferty is BACK to the World of YA | Review: The Mall by Megan McCafferty
