The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers
Flow My Tears the Policeman Said by Philip K. Dick
Pat Conroy is an amazing author. Prince of Tides was really good.
Spirit Bear. I read it in 7th grade but I still think it was cool. Its about a very aggressive prison inmate who gets put on an Isolated island for punishment to serve his sentence.
If you’re down for a good biographical story (because it’s just as entertaining/interesting as fiction), check out Harlan Hubbard: Life and Work.
I can suggest to you a ton of books, but you’ll probably won’t like them, because they’re about alienation, anxiety, existentialism, absurdism, hopelessness… Anyway, I’ll write some. Who knows, maybe someone will want to take a look at them…
