Book Riot's 50 Must-Read Coming-Of-Age Books

"Let's face it, coming of age books are timeless and there are so many different ways you can make a connection. Sometimes the main character is just so real, you can see your younger self in their personality. Other times it's the experience; you've gone through this before, or you know someone who has, and it strikes a chord. It can be similarities in the family dynamic where maybe you realize that your particular assigned grown-ups have no idea what they're doing. Most times it's just the struggle™; growing up can be weird and awesome and stressful and terrifying on its own. So, attention adults adulting, and kids and teens adulting—you are not alone."
